I have never heard a voice as laced with loathing as Gross's in this interview. Thanks.

I have been reading some scholarly articles on Germany's transition to fascism in the lead-up to 1933. There are parallels, but also significant differences that give me hope.

One constant is the roaming thugs.

It did not take that many folk to send the Gestapo packing. Good job, those citizens.

Will it make you happier if we change it to "avoid coming into any contact with an iceberg"?

It's not really an analogy," btw, except in the broadest sense. It is an idiom used to discuss avoiding disaster. It is not meant to map to everything in the original or current situation.
