Very nice, looks like another strong entry to the series. Looking forward to pick this up, I had no idea it was already out so soon. Feels like the announcement was just a few months ago.

There was a election and his party received the most votes, but it was far from what they needed to govern just by themselves. He had to find another party willing to form a coalition with to get above the required threshold. The other parties with strong results, the Left and the Social Democrats, refused to join him for obvious reasons. The Centre Party thought he could be easily controlled and saw their chance to get into government with him. They did not take him or his threats seriously.

Everything he did to seize power was completely legal, he just used the system against itself. And to circle back to the original point: While his party was popular at the time, the vast majority of people did not want them in power. As you said correctly, it’s nearly impossible to determine his actual popularity after 1933.

He didn’t. In fact his results in the final free election were considerably worse than the year before. He had to enter a coalition with the Centre Party that enabled him to destroy the Weimar democracy from within.

On 9 January 1933, Papen and Hindenburg agreed to form a new government that would bring in Hitler. On the evening of 22 January in a meeting at the villa of Joachim von Ribbentrop in Berlin, Papen made the concession of abandoning his claim to the chancellorship and committed to support Hitler as chancellor in a proposed “Government of National Concentration”, in which Papen would serve as vice-chancellor and Minister-President of Prussia. On 23 January, Papen presented to Hindenburg his idea for Hitler to be made chancellor, while keeping him “boxed” in. On the same day Schleicher, to avoid a vote of no-confidence in the Reichstag when it reconvened on 31 January, asked the president to declare a state of emergency. Hindenburg declined and Schleicher resigned at midday on 28 January. Hindenburg formally gave Papen the task of forming a new government.

In the morning of 29 January, Papen met with Hitler and Hermann Göring at his apartment, where it was agreed that Papen would serve as vice-chancellor and Commissioner for Prussia. It was in the same meeting that Papen first learned that Hitler wanted to dissolve the Reichstag when he became chancellor and, once the Nazis had won a majority of the seats in the ensuing elections, to activate the Enabling Act in order to be able to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. When the people around Papen voiced their concerns about putting Hitler in power, he asked them, “What do you want?” and reassured them, “I have the confidence of Hindenburg! In two months, we’ll have pushed Hitler so far into the corner that he’ll squeal.”

For what it’s worth, the most votes Hitler’s party ever received on a national level was “just” 37%.

I don’t agree with this entirely. Yes, Resident Evil heavily relies on tropes but they are varied enough to keep things interesting. And while the overall worldbuilding is sort of generic, the story arcs of the individual characters are not IMO.

I think the hope is that China will ramp up production and improve upon on their own RAM modules in response to the scarcity and price hikes. They still depend on a lot of foreign tech for their own manufacturing, so it’s not gonna happen over night.

AFAIK archive.is , .ph and .today are all just different domains for the same site.

Don’t bother engaging with the troll, they are clearly not arguing in good faith.

It’s a pretty emotional topic for a lot of people, so I’m not surprised. Still, I’d advise everyone who downvotes to at least take a look at what the other side has to say. This thread has a feddit.org mod comment on the situation:

about the later’s Zionist Bar Problem

I’d prefer to have a less biased title for this thread because this is a very one-sided point of view and just parrots what the db0 admin claims without questioning them.

Edit: Thanks for putting it in quotation marks, OP.
