the guy running for chancellor in Austria (Herbert Kickl) is calling himself "Volkskanzler", guess who also called himself that? fucking Hitler. so no, I don't think I'm over reacting
For people like me, that's "People's Chancellor".
Mein chancellor für her, her is the general public
Wow dayum that definitely seem really sus.
I'm calling myself human - you know who did that too? Fucking Ted.
everyone calls themself human, not everyone calls themself Führer, Reichskanzler, Volkskanzler, etc.
Now what is a Volkskanzler? In itself it should be a Kanzler, so a part of a democratic government, for the Volk, so the people. And I never actually heard about Hitler calling himself that, only that he was the Reichskanzler, Führer etc.
Edit:
So those democratic politicians are Hitlers too now?
no, they aren't, because they were leftists trying to reclaim the word so they obviosly weren't nazis, the people using it nowdays are far right, so it's not really obvios wether they are nazis or not.
