The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is most likely the best ever written on the subject.

Yes, terms like Nazi, Fascist, Dictator etc get tossed around frivolously.

Says the fascist...

And I know you're a fascist because we don't agree on everything.

Weak try.

Thats true and fair, I should have used a non-quintessential example of restricting movement.

Whenever a Democrat is in office, he/she is not one step away from Stalin.  Whenever a Republican is in office, he/she is not one step away from Hitler.  

Those two political parties sounds awful, I don't support either of them

Website Dictator!

There's been a guideline about eating according to the food pyramid since the 1960s, and I'm not aware of anyone sent to a concentration camp for not eating their vegetables.  

No, but there is a movement to restrict/eliminate the consumption of animal protein, which is scary

Of that I will not abide.  My life without animal protein is not a happy one.  Vegetarianism is one step toward bridge jumping for me.  I have no wish to exist in a world of no steaks, BBQ or wings.  None.

Sounds like hell, tbh. I'd go down in a hail of bullets before living a meatless existence.

Me too.  A world without meat is dead to me.

That's crazy, what the heck is going on out your way?

WE were notified on Thursday that we were eligible and had our shots the next day. Just another example of why Youngstown is the best place in the whole wide world!

Agreed.  I studied European history between the wars in college (was going to teach history at one point).  Best class I ever had.

They are coming out with guidelines which are basically suggestions.  That's much different than enacting a law and dictating what you can or can't do.  

STFU......Have you seen what restrictions have been dictated over the past year?  Non of those businesses that were shut down were done so on suggestions.  The curfews and mandatory mask wearing and the fines for lack of enforcement.  All of this shit wasnt "suggested"

Another day another dumbass Spock/Fletch moment.

CDC didn't shut anything down. That's your governor at work.

As someone you actually got a degree in modern U.S. history, this is hilarious.

Governors shutdown using the CDC guidelines as guidance. 

Still, his larger point is dumb.
