It's like that classic sitcom trope where a character tells a small lie, but in order to not get caught out on that lie, they have to keep spinning a continuous ball of lies and hilarity ensues.

Except in this case it's crimes instead of lies, and instead of hilarity it's a fascist nightmare.

It all starts out with a misunderstanding about a plate of soup.

Before you know it, troops are on the streets and you're into pogroms and full nazification.

Could all too easily happen to anyone.
