    Um sorry to tell you this but the OG Nazis were inspired by bipartisan American policy. If anything y’all should thank your lucky stars FDR did something before you went full Heil Hitler; this was long overdue.

      This is such a weird twisted way to blame America for Nazis. They looked at how America maintained a system of racism and discrimination in its legal system.

      The isn’t fascism, that stuff started in Italy.

      It’s really hard to take leftists as anything but extremists when you all use the same historical revisionism that every extremist group uses to create their in group.

      Replacing one dogmatic system with a different dogmatic system is a hard sell.

        It was… uh… a lot more than that. America didn’t go fascist because their ruling class compromised during the Great Depression, but they did have all the pieces of fascism.

          While a good example of the US looking the other way to get what they wanted, this was not a part of how naziism was created.

          At the same time it was a common sense activity at the time, a lot of science would have been lost otherwise. In fact some of the insane things the Nazis did could have never been done otherwise and did advance medical science. The ethical argument for discarding this information is interesting but not actually compelling to me, because it doesn’t encourage others to go commit atrocities imo.
