More like 2021. Since Jan. 6th, things have been getting scarier and scarier. I read an article today that a couple of Dem Congressman are coming after FOX News, OANN, and Newsmax to get them shutdown. Reason? What happened on Jan. 6th and the ridiculous claim they somehow had a part in it.

@@HK--nf1sc Guess what. That story was on *Fox News* However every other article there is reported to be no such claim. In fact the man who reported on the story Tucker Carlson is furious because no one believes his ridiculous story. Yeah you've got to read more sources
Great lesson... this is why history is so important and should not be destroyed. This is why we should not be putting labels on groups as victims or oppressors. This is why we need more free thought and speech instead of censorship under the guise of misinformation. This is why we need freedom of religion and to keep faith a part of our nation. If we allow big government to own and control our lives, elections, health, schools, jobs, food and energy supplies instead of the people, small business, churches, local communities - then we will fail. We are not a nation of any political party, ruling class, dictator or activist bullies. We are a Republic ruled by a US Constituion which allows for representation of the majority while protecting the inalienable rights of the minority!
It's not as though no actual victims and oppressors exist either though gaslighting is part of propaganda too telling you things didn't happen that did etc. Critical thinking is scarce now.

Except this time the street corners are not public property open to all, they are owned by private businesses with political biases driven by corporate greed, and *they* get to decide who is allowed to speak. Democracy and freedom have never been at so much risk.
newslit.org/ offers some great techniques of how to determine the veracity of news sources. If one has questions about something specific, Mediabiasfactcheck.org or Snopes.com are good resources. And this video from the 40s encourages us do disbelieve news couched in terms of separating groups of people from other groups of people. Are they emphasizing racial or religious differences or are they just reporting the facts? Are they making generalizations to an entire group based on the actions of one person, or are they just reporting what that one person did? Speakers trying to separate us with the use of divisive or overly generalizing language are usually not to be trusted.
This is the first one of these I’ve watched that showed black people. That guy said “F’? That surprised me but I would have used much stronger terms. Reminds me of Wallace who ran for president when I was very young. He was a prejudice bastard. This was filmed so shortly after the Nazis. This guy perpetuated that horrific tragedy. People forget about the persecution of Catholics and other groups who were not the main targets in number anyhow. Does this remind anyone of the current CCP? This is a very important film.
This went in an amazing direction. I thought the whole thing would be about not being taken advantage of by scammers or low level criminals. And instead I got a tutorial on how not to become Nazi Germany.
This is tremendous Tim, thank you so much for uploading. My grandparents, now deceased, had many stories of escaping at the age of nine, from what was then known as Prussia.

Incredible watch and something all interested in history/politics should view.

Still a great message and time in history we should never forget or misinterpret as we traverse our future.
I, too, was caught unaware! How perfectly timeless. I believe this should be required viewing, and included in Common Core. I must say that, as this is put out by the War Dept., this film is anticommunist. That's not very tolerant. Or, is tolerance only for "our" way of life (get the whiners below decks)?
@@MomMom4Cubs I don't believe the film was anti-communist. The only mention they made of communists was when they talked about how the Nazis used them as scapegoats.
I make it a point to watch this a few times a year. We as a collection of various minorities make up the sweeping majority and thrive....or we die separately in the shame of having fallen for the divisive speech of those who would conquer us with our own hands. Respect needs to make a comeback soon. Let it not be in style to tear someone down and shame them for differences of opinion: you will never reach someone in need of wisdom by attacking them.
I could post this every day on my facebook page. The most patriotic film out there. And the most truthful. Too bad that these things are happening all over again in this country. Division....purposely committed by a certain group and their "aryan" leader.
First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.
I wish I was as articulate as the person here. It’s so hard for me to argue my points without getting emotional. Because the topic is very serious to me, and it’s terrifying thinking of the implications if we don’t keep it under control
These were our grandparents, old and feeble now, but were those who did the hard work of defeating those who would divide us, they deserve the title of the greatest generation.
Fun fact: this was the inspiration for the 1963 episode of twilight zone "he's alive" where hitlers ghost guides Dennis hoppers character, an American nazi, on how to spread his hateful rhetoric to Americans while an old man speaks of how it sounds too familiar to what he heard in nazi Germany as a younger man and how dangerous it can be. This film and the twilight zone episode or eerily very similar in plot, characters and tone (without the ghost of Hitler lol)
I see a lot of people marveling at how the points made in this video are still relevant today. Of course they are, because times change and styles change, technology advances and norms evolve (or devolve); but people don't change. Human nature is the same today as it was thousands of years ago. There are good and bad people now as then. There are strong and weak people now as then. This is why studying history is and will always be like a crystal ball through which we can see the future, near and far. When a modern politician talks about how the safety of our children is more important than "rights," it's nothing new to me. I've heard the same ideas over and over again throughout history and I know exactly where they lead. Every time these same bad ideas are put forth, the same thoughtless, short-sighted people embrace them and defend them. Or the same tactics: fear, division, classism, nationalism, fascism... There are no new ideas, only old ideas (good and bad) wrapped in shiny new words and images. And always in the end it boils down to two opposing ideologies: freedom vs control.

Until they call you out as well; like the demagogue called out the Mason.
The problem is in the past, they'd be the village crank, ignored by most. But now, the village cranks have the internet to communicate and share ideas. They're not so alone now
@@HeroesNights well sort of. Societal pressures don't force people into a train of thought that is consistent with their environment anymore because they can go online and find support for whatever it is they think is reality.
Still relevant in 2022.
What a powerful film. It should go viral.
Especially important today, given the current political climate.
If only the undereducated rubes found out about this back in 2016. 😖

What this planet needs is more disciplined, conscious and honest people and less problematic people. "Because remember that evil does not discriminate color, race, culture or religion. "
This reminds me of reading the book "All Quiet On the Western Front" in high school. It shook me. They all start out regular kids at the beginning, yearning for the wild freedom we all do at that age. And in the end, he dies just a miserable nobody in a trench, and the highlight of the news that day is "all quiet over here."
This needs to shown to everyone in America now, 2020. This is still going on today, which is sad.
America is becoming more ghetto
We must guard everyone's rights.
Those who trade freedom for security deserve neither
@@tiernanwearen8096 There needs to be a balance. After all, security and safety is a human right, too.
Timeless film that is (unfortunately) still relevant 77 years later
2020 needs this
More like 2021. Since Jan. 6th, things have been getting scarier and scarier. I read an article today that a couple of Dem Congressman are coming after FOX News, OANN, and Newsmax to get them shutdown. Reason? What happened on Jan. 6th and the ridiculous claim they somehow had a part in it.
@@HK--nf1sc Yeah, they did. They irresponsibly perpetuated the voter fraud lie that led to Jan 6th. Don't be a fucking sucker.
@@youpeopleareinsane1285 500 people are being held in solitary right now in DC. Solitary confinement means no human contact for 23 hours per day. Amnesty International likens this to psychological torture. I've also heard they recieve routine beatings from the prison guards. Regardless of whether or not you think that the government can be toppled by a bunch of unarmed trespassers, my point that we live in scary times still stands. I mean look at the news that recently broke that the NSA spied on Fox News with the explicit intent to get Mr. Carlson's show removed off the air. Things like that would've been unheard of 15 years ago. If that story is proven to be true, the NSA just violated the law.
@@HK--nf1sc Guess what. That story was on *Fox News* However every other article there is reported to be no such claim. In fact the man who reported on the story Tucker Carlson is furious because no one believes his ridiculous story. Yeah you've got to read more sources
@@enterchannelname200 My source wasn't Fox.
And this still applies today in 2019 😥
2020 and it still applies
No it doesn't
how does it not?
The left didn't succeed in the 40es with Hitler, but they tried again in 2020 with Bill Gaytes and this time it is more promising
Don't be a sucker.
'truth doesn't die easily', in other words, the truth doesn't die, it lives always, and always wins, sometimes taking longer, sometimes not
Great lesson... this is why history is so important and should not be destroyed. This is why we should not be putting labels on groups as victims or oppressors. This is why we need more free thought and speech instead of censorship under the guise of misinformation. This is why we need freedom of religion and to keep faith a part of our nation. If we allow big government to own and control our lives, elections, health, schools, jobs, food and energy supplies instead of the people, small business, churches, local communities - then we will fail. We are not a nation of any political party, ruling class, dictator or activist bullies. We are a Republic ruled by a US Constituion which allows for representation of the majority while protecting the inalienable rights of the minority!
It's not as though no actual victims and oppressors exist either though gaslighting is part of propaganda too telling you things didn't happen that did etc. Critical thinking is scarce now.
I saw this film in Junior High history class back around 1965. Very good production.
This is frighting how relevant this is now.
Still a relevant message today in 2021
This is still so timely! I agree with Zinedine Prime- it should be a MUST watch- especially given the political climate of today.
This should be viewed in every school on earth. Forward it to friends, relatives, classmates, workmates.
Once they allowed themselves to be separated, they were helpless
Divided they fell.
Obviously we should have kept showing this film to people 75 years later.
Somebody please share this video and spread the word.
The sad thing is people don’t ever learn from their mistakes and or history. History just keeps repeating itself.
It is, just look at all the Trump supporters in this comment section who think this video is describing anyone but themselves. Newsflash: Leftists are the ones following the narrator's advice.
@@CrowTR0bot America needs to have a conversation with itself, and it refuses to do so, sigh. The amount of MAGAts in this comment section is a little disheartening 🙄
Those who refuse to learn from the past are condemned to repeat it. If I fear anything, it's this.
This is even more relevant now because of the internet. There is so much misinformation that it's hard to tell what is legit.
Except this time the street corners are not public property open to all, they are owned by private businesses with political biases driven by corporate greed, and *they* get to decide who is allowed to speak. Democracy and freedom have never been at so much risk.
I agree Tim. That's why we all should slow down and remember kindness first.
@@thisisalwaysatest And remember race is a fiction, but racism is real.
newslit.org/ offers some great techniques of how to determine the veracity of news sources. If one has questions about something specific, Mediabiasfactcheck.org or Snopes.com are good resources. And this video from the 40s encourages us do disbelieve news couched in terms of separating groups of people from other groups of people. Are they emphasizing racial or religious differences or are they just reporting the facts? Are they making generalizations to an entire group based on the actions of one person, or are they just reporting what that one person did? Speakers trying to separate us with the use of divisive or overly generalizing language are usually not to be trusted.
Colour me impressed. Every One needs to see this; including politicians.
ESPECIALLY the politicians.
This is amazing! Post this in all social media, and put it out there .
This is the first one of these I’ve watched that showed black people. That guy said “F’? That surprised me but I would have used much stronger terms. Reminds me of Wallace who ran for president when I was very young. He was a prejudice bastard. This was filmed so shortly after the Nazis. This guy perpetuated that horrific tragedy. People forget about the persecution of Catholics and other groups who were not the main targets in number anyhow. Does this remind anyone of the current CCP? This is a very important film.
miss when america was aggressively against fascists and didn’t elect them as our official representatives
@@rattlemespoons577Yes. All fascist are authoritarians.
This went in an amazing direction. I thought the whole thing would be about not being taken advantage of by scammers or low level criminals. And instead I got a tutorial on how not to become Nazi Germany.
Instead we went the soviet Stalin route
@@Wise2daGameare you really that stupid?
This is tremendous Tim, thank you so much for uploading. My grandparents, now deceased, had many stories of escaping at the age of nine, from what was then known as Prussia. I can’t begin to imagine what was going through their young minds.Their travels eventually brought them to, where they homesteaded, North Dakota. Thanks again.(am also on SL)
Did they flee the nazis or the Soviets?
@@tiernanwearen8096 Prussia was a major power in the former German Empire and many of its aristocracy were major backers of the fascists leading up to and during WWII
@@nemluka he was realy clear about what he wanted to do with the jews since 1933. If you read mein kampf you will find that he was very very clear about his plans long before that. But a big portion of the population ran with it because they were so radicalized with nationalistic hatred and prejudice that they also wanted the jews to be removed.
@@lotrofan5 The fascist parties were defense movement's, the communists were the ones who started it and started the war, when they tried to take over Germany with a coup and terrorist attacks in the 20's. Germany had just helped Spain crush the communist coup attempt. That's what lead to ww2, plus the allies inflicting misery on German people and siding with the communists
Many other people's also depended on Germany for help against the red army and the bolsheviks including my own people, who helped defend Königsberg from the communists
The fascist parties are called the 3rd movement, because they rejected both the depraved communist ideals and plans, and the jewish international debt based capitalist system that was enslaving European people's. They were the only ones fighting for Europe
Wow!! We should watch this to remind ourself how great America is and how wrong Racism and division are!! A timeless message
Doesn't common sense tell you that ?
@@wil7228 Common sense isn't very common anymore. It's becoming endangered as a matter of fact. People need lots of reminding or they're going to lose it.

Its*
Wow! This is exactly seems to be happening all over the world now, in 2023. Who thought!
Incredible watch and something all interested in history/politics should view. I wish our gov/country could’ve been fully practicing what they preached at this time in regards to equality but the past can’t be changed now. Still a great message and time in history we should never forget or misinterpret as we traverse our future.
sad so many lack ‘good hard common sense’ today
Still so relevant - it is time for all human beings to come together.
Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
Please watch till the end... Brought to you by the United States War Department ! The irony is Priceless !

We're already a decade behind these lessons. A new epoch is upon us, and mankind is not prepared.
I had no idea how apropos this would be when I started watching.
Quklasa okay! And downright, terrifying!😨
I, too, was caught unaware! How perfectly timeless. I believe this should be required viewing, and included in Common Core. I must say that, as this is put out by the War Dept., this film is anticommunist. That's not very tolerant. Or, is tolerance only for "our" way of life (get the whiners below decks)?
@@MomMom4Cubs I don't believe the film was anti-communist. The only mention they made of communists was when they talked about how the Nazis used them as scapegoats.
Amazing how this is still relevant today
Just led to this now. How true of this day! This should be required watching in high schools.
This was way ahead of its time
No it wasnt, have you payed any atention to the video???
No. We're behind the times.
I think if anything, it is perfectly for it's time. Unfortunately, history seems to repeat itself.
109 times 😂
I make it a point to watch this a few times a year. We as a collection of various minorities make up the sweeping majority and thrive....or we die separately in the shame of having fallen for the divisive speech of those who would conquer us with our own hands. Respect needs to make a comeback soon. Let it not be in style to tear someone down and shame them for differences of opinion: you will never reach someone in need of wisdom by attacking them.
It's so easy to be prejudiced against the unknown other. When it's someone you know, everything changes.
I could post this every day on my facebook page. The most patriotic film out there. And the most truthful. Too bad that these things are happening all over again in this country. Division....purposely committed by a certain group and their "aryan" leader.
Jew
Woke are also doing this, fool
First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

I wish I was as articulate as the person here. It’s so hard for me to argue my points without getting emotional. Because the topic is very serious to me, and it’s terrifying thinking of the implications if we don’t keep it under control
This is happening today. Too bad this video can't be used as a learning tool. Thanks for sharing this video on your channel.
Excellent content and timeless wisdom here!

So much truth to it, it is even relevant to today's society.

There are men up at nights seeking to take things from you.
And those men are Jews
And they have names like George and John.
I'm 81 and remember the horror.
they should show this video and videos alike to students in history classes.
This is amazing that this video was made in 1947 when we had a ton of prejudice, my gosh, much of the country was racially segregated.
These were our grandparents, old and feeble now, but were those who did the hard work of defeating those who would divide us, they deserve the title of the greatest generation.
Fun fact: this was the inspiration for the 1963 episode of twilight zone "he's alive" where hitlers ghost guides Dennis hoppers character, an American nazi, on how to spread his hateful rhetoric to Americans while an old man speaks of how it sounds too familiar to what he heard in nazi Germany as a younger man and how dangerous it can be. This film and the twilight zone episode or eerily very similar in plot, characters and tone (without the ghost of Hitler lol)
I’ll google that! I’m on Twitter with the same username. Karma@RichInSweetness

the educator at about 10:50 is excellent
I was getting ready to clown on this video because I thought the title was funny. It turns out, this is a very important video and I'm glad it exists.
I see a lot of people marveling at how the points made in this video are still relevant today. Of course they are, because times change and styles change, technology advances and norms evolve (or devolve); but people don't change. Human nature is the same today as it was thousands of years ago. There are good and bad people now as then. There are strong and weak people now as then. This is why studying history is and will always be like a crystal ball through which we can see the future, near and far.
When a modern politician talks about how the safety of our children is more important than "rights," it's nothing new to me. I've heard the same ideas over and over again throughout history and I know exactly where they lead. Every time these same bad ideas are put forth, the same thoughtless, short-sighted people embrace them and defend them. Or the same tactics: fear, division, classism, nationalism, fascism... There are no new ideas, only old ideas (good and bad) wrapped in shiny new words and images. And always in the end it boils down to two opposing ideologies: freedom vs control.
a great message and a great true
