    Its believed Hitler was in part radialized by returning home from wartime injuries and seeing that although “true” Germans (according to Hitler) were struggling as a product of the postwar German economy, Jewish bankers were doing okay

    The person in question bought into pretty much the same idea that the Jewish population weilded too much power or were exploiting the non-Jewish population and that’s what drove Hitler to hate them, escalating into the holocaust… Referring to them as “jewish mega bankers” 😬

    Thats an oversimplification of their stance, but the additional details and way it was conveyed frankly make it worse, not better. The conversation was, to be frank, deeply uncomfortable and incredibly racist. Hence why I really hope they just don’t message me again.
