I see you skipped the Weimar Republic. Totally understand. Maybe its one of the flies.

It was a horribly flawed and ineffective institution that failed to solve Germany's problems and was packed with people who hated democracy or were indifferent about it. Even without the Nazis and the Treaty of Versallies, odds are it would've evolved into some kind of authoritarian regime, probably a version of Imperial Germany without the Kaiser running it as too many powerful people as well as the masses wanted a return to the old glory days of the 2nd Reich.Β

It was what set guys like Hitler off, and was responsible for some of the worst government institutions and public policies ever seen in years. There was widespread crime; rioting, theft, prostitution, and a total lack of respect for authority. The only thing I can think of that was any good about the Weimar Republic was that it was very liberal towards the arts, academics, and architecture. A lot of great minds and creative ideas were brewing then (sadly they would all be consumed into the Nazi party, while others ran away into other countries).
BUT! But, even then, it was a bitch to get into a good school when you, and the rest of your fellow countrymen, were as poor as a bunch of disabled bananas.

Sadly, the Weimar Republic was doomed from the start. It was handicapped by the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 and seen as a puppet regime of the Western Allies by many Germans plus it faced all the problems that you mentioned. Just when things were starting to get better, the Great Depression hit and effectively finished off any chance that the Weimar Republic had of surviving as a Liberal Democracy. It was simply a matter of who would turn it into a dictatorship and that someone happened to be Hitler and the Nazis.

Everything set Hitler off. So Weimer was basically a crappy politician.

True. Hitler was the original SJW of his time.
But, the Wiemar Republic was more than just bad politics. It was bad planning when a country was in a post-war economic down-slide, plus it had an excessive amount of violent and conservative police who had no time for public problems (it got really bad). The police practically integrated with relative ease into the Nazi party because they saw the power and force they used and they thought: "Hey! These guys act just like us! Lets side with them." Back then the police despised democracy in any form (viewing it as a public threat). Meanwhile the Republic sat back and did nothing to prevent the change of tides. The Wiemar Republic practically spread Germany's legs for the Nazis to rape it, and once they were in Germany was just in for the ride. The criminals and con-artists who thrived during this time would end up joining the Nazis or taking advantage of the situation (like opportunists usually do).

Well. . .CRAP! Just look at too many First World Countries today. . .no wonder Nationalism is making a stinking come back!

True.
History has this ugly habit of repeating itself. It would be terrible to see us follow this familiar trend to the tee, but alas, we are being ruled by the mobs feelings.
Too many feelings. Not enough reason.

Its also why IΒ endorse Patriotism instead of Nationalism. Nationalists and Fascists started World War II and Patriots won it!

Nationalism is a very dangerous thing indeed. In one hand it gives your people an institutionalized and unified goal and proud identity, but in the other hand it attacks individual identity and smothers ideas that contradict it. No matter how benign people paint nationalism it always cannibalizes itself eventually. What worries me is people get patriotism and nationalism mixed up all the time. Just like they get democracies and republics mixed up all the time.

That's why I did this piece a few weeks back.
Patriotism not Nationalism(USA Version)In the past year to year and a half ago(or even longer!), patriotism has been slowly been replaced by nationalism in the US. "But wait, aren't they same thing? Both are forΒ homeΒ country first other countries second," you might be thinking.
"True but that is where the similarities start and end," is my reply. The issue is the 'how' of Patriotism and Nationalism. By what methods they use to bring about the idea of 'our country(US) first'.
USA Patriotism is about waving the US flag, supporting US imagery/US first, and exercising our Constitutional Rights in a lawful manner.
Nationalism will do the same but have no problem intimidating/smacking people around while doing it.
USA Patriotism believes in securing our borders and keeping those who would do us harm out or in jail while not burning the bridges the US and Allies have built. We want immigrants to come to theΒ country IN A LEGAL MANNER and want honest dealings with our Allies.
Nationalism will keep out anyone including

Very interesting piece! Strangely enough I had a German friend who was very patriotic and got into an argument with a fellow countryman about supporting German patriotism and flag waving.
Apparently in Germany the millennial generation is so afraid of patriotism they box it into the same definition as nationalism and actually try to discourage people from waving the German flag during soccer games and such events.
When I heard about that I thought: 'wow, so the anti-nationalists are also anti-patriot and pro-socialist. Figures.'
This generation is so polluted with bad ideas and backwards doublethink that it is just a matter of time before we get another huge socialist movement bigger and more fucked up than the National Socialists or the USSR.
Keep waving you flag Graeystone. Before long they will be coming into our homes and ordering us to burn them in front of our families. Like something out of Fahrenheit 451.

Yep. Another problem is that most of these groups claiming to be 'Pro-Freedom' are anything but. Bad idea and backwards doublethink lead to 'down is up, evil is good, love is hate'.
Fahrenheit 451 huh. . .to such people I say, "I'm not afraid to die for my beliefs, are willing to do die for yours?" OR "You'll burn my stuff over your dead body!"
