The United States was the primary source of inspiration for the German Nazis. Even as the fascist Nazi party was rising up in Germany. They were mimicking fascists in the United States. The German beer hall putch was not an isolated or unique event. The fascists here in the United States had the business plot. Which FDR almost completely dropped the ball on in exchange for short-term gains. Letting these seditious fascist escape with their lives to regroup and continue plotting. Long ago having clawed back most of the short-term gains FDR got.
Within barely a generation they were running bigoted racists like Nixon and winning. Soon followed by the rather open protofascist Reagan. Whose vice president was former head spook at the CIA. The same CIA that had spent much of the early 20th century overthrowing democracies and destabilizing the rest of the world. He also happened to be the son of the man that was most likely to have been their intended leader to install as fascist dictator. Who's coke adult son a little over a decade later followed in his father's footsteps.
Fascists in the US at least have never had consequences to learn from. They've barely had to setbacks. They just slow boiled it here. But we still arrived at poisoning the blood of our country and blood and soil. Eventually. January 6th was not even the first Republican coup plot that we know about.
And there are plenty in the UK and Europe that learned the wrong lessons from world war II as well.
Long ago, I saw a documentary series about dictators, and it had some interesting things to say about the source of inspiration Hitler had. You see, Benito Mussolini transformed Italy and wrote the book on how to build a fascist country. Hitler took those ideas and started applying them on a larger scale.
Always weird how excited people are to shoehorn blaming the US imo
Yes, how dare we acknowledge our own faults. Always weird how desperately people are to hand wave away our own guilt. Like we never turned away shiploads of fleeing Jews. And American companies didn't help logistically to teach Jews on the way to the gas chamber. Or worse.
Not to mention hiring a lot of Nazis after the war
It's just interesting to me how radicalized the Internet is nowadays. Any excuse to bring up a way to shit on the US is jumped at. Especially on Lemmy. I'm starting to wondering if that's the point of Lemmy as well.
It's not like the small communities here are surviving.
Acknowledging well documented history is being radical? That's a hot take.
Look the fact that you cannot counterpoint or rebuff any of the claims that I made. Instead choosing to whine ineffectually like a petulant child. That's on you. Educate yourself or stop disagreeing with reality. Those are your only two real options if you don't want to be seen as childish and ignorant.
Communities here are surviving just fine. I'm fine with smaller more intelligent communities. If you need the noise and baseless blather of fashiverse. We aren't holding you hostage. You are welcome to stay here. But you're going to have a bad time as long as you try to deny or deflect on history. It's the same thing I say to the stalinists, the maoists, and the other Bolshevik boys.
