Even Scandinavia has moved to the right economically from what they used to be. The rich are getting their way more and more over time and using culture war issues to keep the rest of us divided. The cost of living for the 99% continues to soar while the 1% go laughing all the way to the bank.
And now, they're going for the jugular. If Trump wins, any chance of a decent future for humanity goes up in smoke. Welcome to social darwinism until the sun swallows the earth.
Was it healthy for German democracy for the Nazis to win?

I agree with virtually everything you say in your post. I too am completely upset with everything that is going on and how our quality of life/economic situation/ constant lower of living standards and more is being eroded.
Personally I think a lot of political parties and the elites who govern are responsible. I don't blame one side or another. We collectively are allowing this to occur in these countries and the rich are benefiting more than anybody. The more and more I see what is happening and where we are actually going with AI, technology, big business, corporate welfare, money in politics, social economic issues and more, the more I am seeing how SOME of the crazy talk that at one point used to be conspiracy minded or whatever and agreeing with them to a point.
I recall thinking about how some people were hippies or crazy with their anti big pharma, organic foods, slow big business and corporate factory farming etc. I now completely see where they are coming from amongst other things.
As for Nazi Germany being a good example of democracies where the power shifts from one side to another, I am sure your smart enough to understand where I am coming from in that regard and not use the worst example possible.
