My great grandfather’s buddy took the Mussolini corpse photos while they walked through and sold them to Time magazine, it’s sort of a 6 degrees of separation thing but still a fun fact
American propaganda pretending the Nazis are the devil and the USA saved the world is the reason this shit is happening.
If USA propaganda had taught instead that Hitler admired the USA’s segregation policy, and that popular opinion in the USA was way more favorable to him than anyone wants to admit, maybe things wouldn’t be as bad.
The Nazis didn’t pop out of nowhere being evil. They were just random blokes with evil ideology. Forgetting this makes it too easy to say “but he hasn’t killed 30m people, he’s not that bad!”.
Germany at least threw the failed painter in jail after the first coup attempt, Yankees couldn’t even do that with their golfer.

My grandfather didn’t get any close-ups with historic fascists, but he did shoot two Nazi planes out of the sky.
And then my mom and dad voted Trump.
Yeah sometimes badassery skips a generation
Clearly they haven’t seen famous antifa media like ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Band of Brothers’, or ‘Come and See’ due to those flims being too radical.

This is why I think Nazi America + Nukes will be much worse than Nazi Germany could ever dream of being. Only time and apathy will tell.
I’m sure there were fine people on both sides.

I’m down! Apparently I’m one of 2 million descendants of john howland.
Didn’t learn of this until I stopped being an arborist.
These things are fun and worth hearing about.
My understanding is that john fell off the mayflower and caught a rope, which saved him. Sounds like catching that rope wasn’t likely
