[What do you think the world would be like of the Nazis had won?]
It would be a lot like modern Germany and the American College campus. You'd be hated mercilessly and persecuted unless you were of a certain group or mindset, and thought policing would be socially acceptable if not the norm. In short, a liberal paradise.

So, people are taking a certain stridency on some college campuses as evidence that the campuses are "cultural Marxist" indoctrination centers. It's becoming more commonplace to compare them to Nazi Germany, despite some significant differences: nobody is getting killed, there are actually "dissenting" faculty and students who are not having difficulties, and (I think this may be the most important) there really isn't any coordination or central directorate creating this alleged atmosphere of repression.
What is the solution they propose? Well, drastic times call for drastic measures. They want to force academic institutions to be "balanced." But where is the equilibrium point of the balance? Where they consider to be "normal," which turns out to be exactly what they believe.
In other words, replace this spotty and largely fictitious left-wing indoctrination with genuine, uniform, and government-imposed right wing indoctrination. A drastic curtailment of academic freedom. Has such an effort ever led to problems in the past? If course not! As they will happily tell you, all bad governments, including Hitler, are produced by Liberals. Ban libeal thought, and fascism is impossible.
"Waah, I can't be a bigoted cuntface in public without being called on it anymore! This is totally comparable to the Holocaust, which probably had a direct impact on my own family given my Jewish surname, thus making this an even more disgusting fallacy!"
"You'd be hated mercilessly and persecuted unless you were of a certain group or mindset, and thought policing would be socially acceptable if not the norm."
In short, a fundie paradise. Except for those other fundies not like you. Then the fundies would fight. THAT would be a liberal paradise.
@Demon Duck of Doom
Generally yes. As does fascist. communist, atheist, Muslim, satanic, gay and every other put down they use. Quite honestly they compartmentalize their enemies into one singular glob and often don't suffer cognitive dissonance when proven wrong
@ Philbert McAdamia:
Yeah...you are.
Oh yeah, it really is just like that here in Germany. I remember it well: I was just talking to a friend about how Angela Merkel made mistakes during her time als chancellor and suddenly the "secret police" stands before our door, knocks it down and takes us away for being "Volksverräter". I'm writing this out of a concentration camp right now of course...
Perhabs you should have gone to one of those "EBIL liberal mind control cultural marxist institutions" called universities and taken a class on history and politics, because you seem to have no idea about either subject.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
