2. Crystal Meth Fueled Storm Troopers By Any Other Name Are Still The Same

During the Second World War, the Wehrmacht issued its troops with the methamphetamine-based stimulant Pervitin. Better known today as crystal meth, the drug allowed German soldiers to draw on immense reserves of energy, enabling them to march and fight for days on end without sleep.

Tales of Nazis on speed obscured the other side of the story: the massive use of stimulants by British and American troops.

I would honestly be surprised if drug abuse were not rampant within the ranks of our nation's SS troops.

Continually ongoing purposeful infliction of malevolent harm against wide swaths of our populace with the intent of ruling through intimidation, incarceration and extermination can only be done by those drug fueled or those purposefully evil.

That's the whole Nazi playbook right there; intimidation, incarceration, extermination.

Same as it ever was.
