    De-Nazification is such a fucking lie.

    The surviving leadership of the Nazi Party was grafted directly onto NATO and to the extended network of fascist US/UK business interests that continued to dominate the West at the end of the war.

      Hitler took the idea of manifest destiny from the Americans murdering the native population (great job Pete protecting their medals cause that’s all you have on your fucking calendar today), used it on Europe, then we Paperclipped their nerds to build better rockets…it’s been racist and fascist in the air for a long time now but it most certainly was not just ze Germans

      Pretty much all of American history taught in schools is either a lie or heavily edited

        No. You didn’t invent everything, America.

          Yeah we definitely did not.

          However, I’m not sure why you’re posting this here because Hitler was absolutely heavily inspired by both the genocide of the native peoples, as well as post slavery laws like Jim Crow.

          https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/lebensraum

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum

          The ideologies found at the root of Hitler’s implementation of Lebensraum modeled that of German colonialism of the New Imperialism period as well as the American ideology of manifest destiny. Hitler had great admiration for the United States’ territorial expansion and saw the destruction of Native American peoples and their cultures that took place during the United States’ westward expansion as a template for German expansion.
