This is a good time to share this poem with everyone:
I saw them tearing a building down. A team of men in my hometown. With a heave and a ho and a yes yes yell, they swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
And I said to the foreman, "Are these men skilled?" "Like the ones you'd use if you had to build?"
And he laughed and said, "Oh no, indeed... the most common labor is all I need... for I can destroy in a day or two what takes a builder ten years to do."
So I thought to myself as I went on my way...
Which one of these roles am I willing to play?
Am I one who is tearing down as I carelessly make my way around? Or am I one who builds with care, in order to make the world a little better... because I was there?

No one likes seeing their country destroyed. No one likes seeing their culture destroyed. No one likes seeing that which they've worked for destroyed.
This principle also applies to Voat.
Each of us is either a builder or a destroyer.
Choose your side, because I've chosen mine. Voat will support those who build.
Interpret this post however you'd like, because at it's root it is truth, but I'm posting this for those of us that need a reminder from time to time.

On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Oh well,” she cried, “I'll take you in and I'll take care of you”
“Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You're so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died”
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
”Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman,“ sighed the snake.

Star of David is a symbol of ZIONISM, btw. And the Nazis allied with the Zionists (Haavara Agreement).

I wouldn't say "allied". But they did negotiate some common ground, which was commendable of Hitler. He tried to give everyone an inch and they took it all. He's a living testament to why one must be absolutely cold-hearted in the face of his mortal enemies. He made that deal specifically because he wanted them OUT of Germany in the most amicable way possible. We wouldn't be living in clown world right now if he hadn't underestimated their treachery.

From what I have researched, he did ally with them. That is where the Nazi 'economic miracle' came from, that only 1/1000 seems to understand, and that is why some Jews were persecuted, and others were in his administration. Also explains why Martin Bormann having a Soviet spy as a mistress didn't phase Hitler at all. Those were the lines of communication, simple as that. Hell, IMO that is even why they were called the NaZis instead of the NatSocs (and yes, I know the official explanation).
The greatest fear of the Zionists was Jewish assimilation. Before Hitler, that was what was occurring (I personally would prefer assimilation to Zionism, but not saying that is the better answer).
