For example, we do not complain about mask/social distancing/lockdown mandates. It is not that we "tolerate" despotic rule; it is that we trust it.

So why are you asking me? I suspect when 90s stated that he was observing the first part of the definition of 'despotism' which is inline with totalitarianism, not the second part of the sentence?

Despotism
the exercise of absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way.

I happen to think that this is were part of the confusion in regards to these words stems from, however. I personally make a distinction between tyranny\despotism and the rest. If you're wondering why 90s doesn't, why not ask him instead? 90s and I are not the same person....

And I thought National Socialism supported personal freedom?

...true socialism values the individual and encourages him in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must be in consonance with those of the community. — Adolf Hitler

If by "personal freedom" you mean a person gets to do whatever they want; to whom ever they want, whenever they want, like democratic peoples, then the answer is 'no', National Socialism does not support that type of "personal freedom". If by "personal freedom" you mean a person can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't screw anyone else over, or the folk for that matter, then the answer is 'yes', National Socialism supports "personal freedom".

Ask not what your country [folk] can do for you, ask what you can do for your country! [folk] — J.F.K.

What J.F.K. said in that quote is similar to what Hitler was saying in the above quote of his.
