The social progressiveness and economic struggles of Weimar Germany make me very nervous about where we are now in the US. History may not always repeat itself but it does rhyme.

In school (US) they taught us about the book burnings but conveniently left out that a lot of the most famous pictures are from this institute being ransacked. The suppression of knowledge continues :/
