I was reading this book about Leni Reifensthal who was Hitler's filmmaker basically. Pre War Germany was actually extremely liberal, but the liberalism was starting to morph into hedonism and people started seeing the left as amoral and not caring about workers. This along, with the Wiemar Republics very weak laws that could have prevented extremism is what lead to Nazi Germany. Now that is an extreme simplification of a complicated event, but it is scary seeing this happen in real time. Oh and we have climate change on top of everything.
