Hes talking about investing to increase that amount, which is what you would do to money in a bank account

$100k seems like an average amount of total savings that a person who is middle class would have toward the middle of their career

And yet it is not.

I'm pretty sure super heavyweight is the highest weight class.

Peaceful assembly has been dead since at least the Civil Rights era. Not that it is a good thing, but this is nothing new.

This is a half truth. You're talking about their rise to power. Nazis never had a democratic majority pre WW2.

Once WW2 actually started and things got better for the average German people Nazi popularity soared . Then the propaganda machine went into overdrive and it was hard to find anti Nazi sentiment outside of tiny resistance movements in constant peril, and a lot of the people in those cells weren't good people either, just anti Nazi

When people in this topic are talking about Nazis, they generally mean WW2 and specifically the holocaust . Not Between Great Wars German politics

it seems disingenuous to conflate that

Nope I mean during WW2, the height of Nazi-ism accounts for at most 50% of the population supporting it. The run up as best we can tell was the 1933 free election where the party took 33% of the vote. Trying to treat a population as a monolith is a common mistake. No group had the consolidation to beat back the Nazi party taking over, but acting as if everyone just shifted over when it happened is naive at best and intentionally disingenuous at worst.

By all historians the redditor is factually incorrect, most place the Nazi's as making up somewhere between 35 and 50 percent of the populace. Yes, you have a much higher probability of accepting something awful (in this case Nazi-ism) when you are raised in a society that normalizes it, but by no means were all Germans Nazis.
