&gt;<i>Also, congrats on the unnecessary Nazi comparison.</i><p>Not meant to offend (didn&#x27;t even knew the parent was German at the time, thought I was an American), but it wasn&#x27;t an gratuitous reference either. It&#x27;s not like someone in an internet forum calling someone a &quot;nazi&quot; because they disagree with them or anything.<p>I legitimately believe that there are plenty of legitimate lessons to be learned (to avoid, of course) from the Nazis, as WWII and the Holocaust is the single most deadly and morally disastrous event of the modern era.<p>And these kind of schemes for &quot;one global government&quot; &#x2F; &quot;one common language&quot; etc, do have parallels and historical precedents on ideas such that of the Third Reich. An occupied, German speaking Europe, if not world, was indeed one of their stated goals.
