Nazis killing people? Again? These aren’t US forces as long a the nazis are in control
Hate to break it to you but…
Nazi Idiocy may be a foundational cornerstone in some backwards cultures but it is still worth fighting against, conceptually, vocally, and if need be physically.
What I’m saying is, “Nazi idiocy” is the “foundational cornerstone” of America’s “backwards culture”. So, there is no distinction between US Forces with or without Nazi control. American Manifest Destiny inspired the Nazi Lebensraum, American Jim Crow Laws inspired the Nazi Nuremberg Laws, much of the Nazi ideology was built on top of existing admiration for the American project.
I think I understood what you said. So, are we talking past each other? Or… was there disagreement with the suggestion that nazism needs scrubbed out of everywhere?
Probably more likely talking around each other. The agreement is that Nazism needs to be scrubbed out everywhere. I disagree that “These aren’t US forces as long a the nazis are in control.” Unless you also agree that Nazis have always been in control of US forces. To put it another way, when I read your comment it read similar to “This isn’t what American is about!” which, it is what America is about, and has always been about. To put it one other way, Donald Trump didn’t suddenly make America a Nazi state, he just removed its mask. That’s all. From our genocidal expansion westward, to our system of slavery and then apartheid after, dropping two atomic weapons on civilian populations, to our genocide in Korea in the 40s, to our imperialist wars through the 90s and 2010s, to our proxy genocide in Palestine. This is just another footprint in our path as we tread across the earth.
