I actually worked in an office in 1972-1973 with a woman who had been a child in Hitler's Germany. She defended "some" of the Nazi ideas and said "America has too much freedom. In Germany we learned people with too much freedom feel uneasy and nervous. They find they like having the government make a lot of the decisions for them. Too much freedom is not a good thing."
I see so much of that today. Dems pass out money as entitlements or "stimulus" and have people depend on the health system. People largely say that's fine.
Aggravating!
It’s not about too much freedom. It’s about anxiety... the anxiety of having to grow up into responsible adulthood and leave the safety net(coddling) of dependency beyond adolescence and parental entitlement; and then having to find a purpose or pursuit.
Those kinds of people end up WANTING perpetual dependency the same as institutionalized inmates who fear the outside world beyond the regiment of prison life. They demand government delegation of their lives in order to feel normal because they are too afraid of liberty, free choice and the consequences & accountability that go with it. Failure and self-reliance makes them desperate and scares the crap out of them. And of course you will find most of these personalities/types either working for government or collecting welfare. The Bernie Sanders Socialists.
