That wasn't real Weimar. Real Weimar hasn't even been done properly yet.

Without Black people none of that wouldve been possible!

by that metric the Faroes is best place live

Which is weird because the leftoids were also furious with the weimar Republic and wanted to overthrow it to establish communism.

the last fifty years of American political history support this assessment

Republicans are the party of intentional incompetence

and the idiots who support them are incompetent horrible people

Shades of gray don't exist, pick a binary idiot

There are some good history videos on YouTube, they also have a bunch of dislikes for mentioning some uncomfortable facts. See basically anything TIK releases as an example lol.

Imagine watching breadtube

Someone who deserved worse.

German rosa parks. Easy, next question

When Hitler started ruling by degree allowing him to ignore the parliament he was the second chancellor to do so.

Weimar was a clusterfrick doomed to fall into autocracy from the beginning, and its system takes responsibility for what would come just as much as Tito takes responsibility for sowing the seeds of Yugoslav wars.

Just ignore the general degeneracy and child prots

>Blaming the treaty is reductionist at best,

I don't know who to go with here, Keynes or Pizzashill

Germany was by far the most powerful and advanced nation in Europe.

Nobody would have said this in 1939 except actual Nazis. Britain and the Netherlands were on a completely different level. In France they actually had cars and shit. Czechoslovakia was probably more high tech but too small.

Germany beating France in 1940 was totally unexpected by everyone (including Hitler).

because germany was by far the most powerful

were they tho

by most metrics weimar germany was leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else, because germany was by far the most powerful and advanced nation in Europe.

Not true at all, Germany was powerful because it was the largest of rich countries (in Europe), but in GDP per capita France was IIRC 20% and Britain 50% higher. Interwar Germany was a mix of advanced industrial parts with world leading science and corporations, and poor agricultural east full of farmers needing extra jobs because of their insufficient land.

Weimar was unlike any modern example, had weimar had a stable government or any democratic norms at all it would have easily resisted the nazis.

"If the Weimar Republic was something else, it would have been a completely different country."

Germoney did have democratic norms you couldn't go for a mile without stumbling upon city states ruling themselves under the HRE. (Free and Imperial Cities , Hanseatic Leagues and Kleinstaaterai

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleinstaaterei

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_imperial_city

While the term referred primarily to the territorial fragmentation of the German Confederation, it is also applied by extension to the even more extreme territorial fragmentation of the Holy Roman Empire. In this period, Germany was split into a great number of nearly sovereign small and medium-sized secular and ecclesiastical principalities and free imperial cities, some of which were little larger than a single town or the surrounding grounds of the monastery of an Imperial abbey. Estimates of the total number of German states at any time during the 18th century vary, ranging from 294 to 348, or more.

Your Pulitzer is in the mail

The conservatives never stopped trying to rip the country apart, bitter over the monarchy collapsing. The liberals never took the right wing threat seriously

WE HAVE TO JAIL ORANGE MAN AND HIT HIM WITH 90+ CHARGES

Weimar germany is a fantastic example of what happens when a country has no democratic norms and breaks them repeatedly during a political struggle.

even though jailing past presidents and leading candidates of the major opposing party cant reasonably be called a norm in the us

forcing leaders to set dangerous precedents

Oh dangerous precidents

!friendsofpizzashill we got a live one

That's cool. But it was actually rimming and drag queens that did it in.

Blaming the treaty is reductionist at best, the treaty was a useful propaganda tool but it ignores the larger instability.

Yeah the treaty definitely didn't help but I'd be surprised if any nation was doing good after coming out of ww1.

France was ruined, the British empire was basically donezo after the war (they just didn't know it yet). Germany was the worst off given that they lost the darn war. Plus they had just barely formed as a country like 50 years prior.
