Hitler’s wet dream. He needed to burn books. They didn’t have the efficient book-burning machinery we have today.

They just ate the illusions capitalism threw at them. You’d be surprised about the number of people who simply don’t care that their lives are run by shadow elites who destroy the world as long as they can watch TV and go on holidays.
Panem et circenses, 2000 years later, still works. You just need to make people believe they’re the winners of capitalism and they’ll support every ugly bit of it.
