Wanton Filling

Physicians were one of the strongest demographics behind the Nazi vote. Lawyers were generally favorable to Nazi policies as well. Intellectuals are not a single group, but the ones with an economic interest in politics often favored National Socialism.

Doctors were interested in eugenics ideology, at the time a key Progressive platform. Lawyers saw growth in various racial law areas and expanding scope of criminal activity as new areas for work. Their economic interests were more or less aligned with Fascism.

Other intellectuals, such as Marxists were oppressed, but it was very common for KPD members to join the Nazis and there was no particular problem with them doing so. Only active Communists were prosecuted.

In conclusion it depends on the type of intellectuals, but the white collar professions were generally Fascist. If you were to express it as a percentage it would be high among professional degrees. Finding unveristy data would be harder because there was no centralized state University system at the time.

Also, if it helps, Technical University Munchen was a major Fascist organizing ground.

True, the nation caved to Hitler as a whole and this included the intellectual centers. A sentence from your link sums that up: "The traditional leadership of the German bar permitted itself to be replaced by newcomers, formerly far removed from the centers of power in professional institutions." In other words, cowardness prevailed in the end. It could happen here, I suppose. Hasn't yet but the mob, as they say, is at the gates and nothing symbolizes the mob more than Trump's rally crowds and that gathering at The Capitol on Jan. 6; even something as small as the incessant comments at this forum which say, in effect, that American elections can be trusted no longer.

The White Rose emerged from a group of students who attended the University of Munich. Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf and a few other friends had spent their teens under Hitler’s rule. Most of them were members of the Hitler Youth, designed to breed party loyalty and spread Nazi ideals.

Then Hans, a medical student, was conscripted into the Army. He served on the Eastern Front as a medic. There he witnessed the abuse of Jewish laborers and heard rumors of the extermination of European Jews and Poles. He returned to Germany and spoke of his experiences to his friends. It was not enough to keep to one’s beliefs and ethical standards, he said. The time had come to act.

The students got their hands on a printing press and began to print pamphlets that encouraged resistance to the Nazis. "Do not forget that every nation deserves the government that it endures," they wrote. The society's work quickly spread to other cities, with some of its literature even showing up in Austria.

But the movement was doomed from the start. On February 18, 1943, Hans and Sophie were caught throwing leaflets from a balcony at the University of Munich. On February 22 the Scholls and Probst were tried before the infamous Roland Freisler and swiftly convicted of high treason. That afternoon they were decapitated by guillotine. Other members of the White Rose were executed and dozens were imprisoned.

The White Rose was active from 1942-1943, but the courage of its convictions has left a lasting mark. “We will not be silent,” the group wrote in its fourth leaflet. “We are your bad conscience.”

If they lived in present-day America, would these people have been avid Trump followers, QAnon believers, part of the cheering crowd at his sold-out rallies?
What do you think?

Hitler mainly drew his popularity from the masses; he never would have assumed power otherwise, and intellectuals were his fiercest critics. Anyway, none of that is at all comparable to preferences for Joe Biden over Donald Trump and vice versa.
The point is that the master Gaffer at this time is Biden who can't even finish a sentence unless it is about children rubbing his hairy legs.

Making fun of idiots like Margerie and Bobebert and Goetz and a host of other right wing retards is a waist of time.
It is a given that they are stupid and mistake prone.
Biden isn't supposed to be but he is, and no one is saying Trump is better.

Remember, when you vote for the lesser of two evils, you get evil.

Shame on the Institutional DNC for putting up Biden as a candidate.

You fucking fools.

Biden primaried to the nomination, numbskull. He outsmarts you in his sleep.
 
You really believe that and this, "dumb, gluttonous and forgetful" better define the educated, book reading type that more often support Biden than the social media, rally crowd type that support Trump?

Question #1: How many whacks does it take you to drive a 16p nail home? :laugh:

Question #2: What book were Baby Elvis and Trashcan Man in?

Question #3: What did Baby Elvis do to Trashcan Man?

Bullshit you smug idiot.
It was rigged and if you weren't blinded by partisanship it would be obvious to you.

The DNC is the most corrupt organization in History.

Biden is no better than an automaton.
Stop being such a closed minded moron.
 
Wow, what crawled up your cloaca and died?

You just don't know what you are supporting.
By the time you understand it will be too late.
You and all the other useful idiots are letting this happen.

How could all of you be so blissfully unaware of what Biden is doing?

Two questions, where do you think the words "build back better" came from?

What would have to happen before one could " build back"?

Bojo first used that phrase, I believe. Boris Johnson said it, so did a few others. Biden found it convenient to plagiarise again, probably because his name begins with a B, but then so does bullshit.
