    I was like half paying attention during our WW2 history lessons and the parallels between the USA today and the formation of Nazi Germany is clear as day. Whoever can’t see it was probably fast asleep during each class.

      There’s people out there who genuinely only think it’s ok to call something fascism or genocide retrospectively when it’s achieved its goals.

      We can’t call it fascism yet because they aren’t literally killing gay people in camps yet.

      They won’t believe it because it isn’t an exact parallel replica of Nazi Germany because obviously. Everything is different, were 100 years in the future, it’s a different country.

      It’s illegal to extrapolate what’s going on and draw obvious parallels unless literally the exact same thing happens the same way.

      Please, if you believe otherwise tell me I’m wrong

    Its already cooked. Play by play of Nazi Germany again. Education matters folks. Maybe countries and corporations shouldn’t be this powerful.

        Yeah not a great look. Founded on genociding indeginous people. Nazis said “hey man nice shot!” and thats why Trump’s playbook is degraded because its a simulacrum of a simulacrum. Anyway, yeah USA bad since birth. Anyone who thinks otherwise has only been shown the tiny specks of silver lining.

    Didn’t learn about fascism in history. Mainly learned about ancient history and industrial revolution stuff
