The liberal is the one shaming you for not voting for Hitler’s less extreme friend, Gobbels, as they load you on the van

    Guard: Don’t fight it. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.

    Liberals would join the “left” wing of the Nazi party to try and change it from the inside, with the exact same results as in 1934.

    Genuinely speaking, when I see liberals getting mad at non-voters and third party votes as opposed to conservatives or you know, the fucking system, it pisses me off. Look how economically and socially conservative we’ve gotten. This shit was inevitable. And maybe you should’ve run a candidate that actually cared about human interests instead of a lite conservative who ran on being “not Trump.”

    The colonial administration of the liberal era went to great lengths to reach out to Libyan notables, an approach known as the ‘politica dei capi’. This approach culminated in 1919 with the passage of the Libyan Statutes that extended Italian citizenship and afforded a measure of political representation to ‘native’ élites, though identifying who was ‘native’ in the Libyan territories was open to the interpretations of those taking census data, often with little knowledge concerning the ethnicities and identities of peoples in the region (Dumasy 2004–2005, 11–34).

    Critics condemned this approach as expensive and ineffectual since it placed individuals with questionable influence on the Italian payroll while limiting direct state control to a few urban centres on the coast. Following Mussolini’s 1922 March on Rome, the colonial administration rejected conciliatory approaches and denounced previous treaties with regional élites in favour of military action to increase the territory under direct control of the [Fascist] state.
