Inspired by other thread, I wanted to talk about nazis, and how it would happen today.
First of all, I don't believe in 'it couldn't happen today'. That's just words, I don't know what the reason behind it is. Or that the Germans were weaker than others, so Hitler came to power and they realized what was going on too late.
I believe it could happen everywhere. Germans were humiliated from the first world war with the treaty of Versailles, they were doing poorly, and then came strong leader who promised stuff, seemed tough and basically made things better inside.
Now, the only thing that could have stopped it ealrier would have been outside intervention earlier, or maybe assasination would do it. Let's not forget there were attempts on his life and conspirators, inside Germany. There were students raising their voice, there were people who were against it. And they also were the first occupants of the camps. Or they just disappeared. Like in other countries, where brutal dictators have ruled.
When you start waging your life, possibly if you would join resistance, your family's life, you tend to get more .. careful. Maybe more survival thinking sets in that world politics.
Let's not forget that Hitler did sell the invasions first, and then did it. It was seen as necessary or at least that there was a reason for it. And he was able to keep everyone back for a while too, until his true intentions came known when he would just go on.
Don't forget that we think it's OK to invade one or two countries. When it gets further, it makes everyone think but before that, if the future action is sold, there's a great chance of no one intervening.
He had production going on for a long time, lots of equipment and weapons, and hardcore dudes carrying it out.
Just think about it, give any modern country leader some years to equip themselves, give them lots of soldiers like nazis were, and some time to run around, we are all in great deal of trouble. No matter how many planes we got, it's trouble for sures.
All I'm saying is, what would happen in the future can happen, and because we know a recent incident like this doesn't mean anything really, it helps, but it's not a .. it doesn't mean it couldn't happen again. Especially if the bad guys get a good head start, it gets more complicated than that.
If you can figure out how to train enough troops and get them loyal to you, have the key entities gripped by their balls, and have hte resources tapped in for you, few years and anything is possible. Maybe not the world domination, but you can put up a fight that will have everyone involved and it's going to be pretty serious and not clear cut decision who wins.
