The mentality of the German people that let Hitler rise to power is we're poor, in despair, and getting the short end of the stick as a result of WWI. "We need breathing room" And just a little bit at a time.

How that compares to not buying other people's escapist make-believe I have no idea - because it doesn't.

The vigor of most conspiracy defense is a function of how entertaining the idea is. Just because you lie to yourself don't expect me to buy into it.
