Is there also a documentary that shows how reactionary centrists paved the way for the Nazi takeover by creating a moral panic about non-issues (like the 1920s equivalent of "wokeness")?

Timely publication by brilliant @asheinze.bsky.social and @gefjonoff.bsky.social to understand the current wave of far-right politics. Proud to see this important piece featured in @ejprjournal.bsky.social

Bravo @malojan.bsky.social !
