When…press…attempts to link Germany’s national uprising to this disgraceful act, this can only serve to strengthen my resolve #fakenews

The main objective is to learn to think crudely. Crude thinking is the great one’s thinking. #fakenews

Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. #bookburning

Don't leave me out. Have I not always spoken the truth in my books? I order you: Burn me! #bookburning

The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it. #Wednesdaywisdom

Trends for you

All right, we can't blame social media for the Führer, Godwin's Law or no Godwin's Law. Think about it: we can't blame social media for the Führer. There's an old saying, and it applies: 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.' Also: 'Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.' That applies to more than your O levels.

Why do we harp on the past? Because it matters. Because past behaviour is often indicative of future action. Particularly if we fail to learn the lessons.

Because it was only a few months ago when we were all shocked – shocked, I tell you – by the season finale of The Man in the High Castle. Why does that eerie song sound so familiar now?
