More freedom of speech in Nazi Germany than the modern 'liberal west'.

They locked up people in concentration camps that criticized the Nazi government like the confession church.

No way to do this in any system really. However in an authoritarian system the powerful can remove the corrupt if they wish. Much more efficient than having to convince millions of mostly idiots that they're being duped and compete with the plutocracies mouth pieces -- the 'media'.

The media should be regulated and mostly controlled by the government to reduce corruption by foreign, leftists and plutocratic actors. Even if most people are idiots their gut instincts are better than our current politicians and media talking heads. I think the way the government should view the people is similar to how a company takes input when attempting to solve a problem with a consumer product. The consumer often misidentifies the problem and puts forward haphazard solutions. It is the responsibility of the government to identify the problem correctly and put forward the best solution in solving the problem.

Many people have also put forward the idea that referendums can be held to vote out politicians at any time or if they violate their promises as a politician. The reason why our system fails is people invest all their time during election season because they feel there is no way of kicking out a bad politician other than waiting for the next election. This is probably not the case of all European countries but the same illusion of waiting until the next election still exists instead of acting immediately to get rid of a corrupt politician.

Meanwhile the liberal west wants to examine all of your tweets, examine what you laugh at and get access to your babies mind to teach it not to be 'racist'. I don't think Nazi Germany was quite like that from what I've read.

The current liberal order is drifting toward totalitarianism if it isn't there already. It is very possible to have freedom of speech and ways of voting out corrupt politicians without descending to a degenerate society. Almost all the problems facing Europeans is that their governments are not actually democratic. All the polling data shows that the people's interests and the governments interests are not aligned at all.
