Many people don’t know that the Nazi party took many an inspiration from the American south. Even the Nazi’s were taken aback in some cases by how harshly white Americans treated blacks and wrote segregation into their laws.

Nazis respected the confederacy, even looked up to it. “Where did all these fascists come from?” Well, they were always here because we didn’t punish them enough. And project paperclip welcomed in Nazi members, even SS members, and gave them land.

    I’ve been saying this for a long time and I’ll say it again.

    Stop comparing MAGA to Nazi Germany. They have much more in common with the Confederate States of America and are rooted in American racism.

      I don’t know much about american history and the confederacy. And it isn’t something I want to know about either.
      The last ten years of disgusting shit have made me sick of america, so I’m really not interested about the disgusting shit it pulled hundreds of years ago.
      It’s just incompetence after incompetence after devastation after incompetence, with a little bit of common sense every now and again.
      Tiring, just so tiring.

      I do know about Nazis though, and the maga bellends sure look like Nazis to me.

      Something can look like two things at the same time though, an orange can look like a small disco ball because both are round and it can also like a thick carrot because both are orange. Yet thick carrots do not look like small disco balls.
