It's just a coincidence.

According to DeepSeek, the average price of eggs has increased 258% since 2018.

So far.

For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/

Is like poetry, it rhymes…

„Es gibt immer wiederkehrende Zyklen, Höhen und Tiefen, aber der Verlauf der Ereignisse ist im Wesentlichen der gleiche, mit kleinen Abweichungen. Man hat gesagt, dass sich die Geschichte wiederholt. Das ist vielleicht nicht ganz richtig; sie reimt sich lediglich.“

"There are recurring cycles, ups and downs, but the course of events is essentially the same, with minor variations. It has been said that history repeats itself. That may not be entirely true; it merely rhymes." Theodor Reik

You see, the — the thing about Star Wars is — is that it’s — it's like poetry, you know — it rhymes. Every stanza kind of — kind of rhymes with the last one.

There's — there's no underwear in space. That's — that's the rule. We didn't — we didn't have bras in space. So — so she had to tape them down. It's just — you know — it’s a space thing.

Well — you know — the music, uh — it's not like rock music, or — or electronic stuff. It's — it's very classical. Very old-fashioned. Because — because it's set in space, but — but it’s not futuristic. It’s — it’s more like a — like a space opera. That’s what it is — a space opera It’s — it’s why the music is what we — well I call it jizz.

Hypothetically, if this comic book copy of the Nazis would be just an act, what could be the benefit?

Isn't owning the libs benefit enough?

Letting the market be easily bought up by corpos?

And straight driving anyone who can't weather the storm out of business. Especially once the "exceptions" start rolling in.

I would say this is the WORST (not really) attempt to try to connect the current American state to Nazi Germany. There are much much better comparisons when considering class conflict. I guess I'm the "idiot" and this is likely good propaganda for the "normies" in our current state. So maybe I'm out of touch in that regard. But the connections are far more important than the price of eggs.

I don't really wanna give more here because I'm tired but for anyone that cares: Just read and you'll get some perspective

I guess I like the simple levels of comparison but I think anyone that actually would be convinced by it needs more perspective.

Obvious/surface level/aesthetic comparisons change hearts & minds. Nobody's reading 160 pages of book unless they agree (broadly) with you already. Headlines & theory serve different functions.
