Look our politicians may refer to themselves as nazis on porn forums,
we may use nazi symbology at our national conference,
our campaign rhetoric may mirror nazi rhetoric exactly,
our leader may have publicly praised hitler,
our policies may be carbon copies of nazi policies,
we may count literal nazis as some of our most fervent supporters,
our leader may have praised a public nazi march,
our leader may have hosted and praised literal nazis at his estate,
our leader may curry favor among socialite nazi sympathizers in charge of large swaths of american media,
and we may perform nazi salutes at our leaders inauguration,
but… we are NOT NAZIS 😤 😭 🤡
This isn’t a historical detail. This is philosophy.
Americans use liberal incorrectly and as a result most have no clue what the philosophy that defined the nation until a few were s ago actually is.
There are consequences to not understanding what these things mean and right now America is dealing with the consequences of people who have no idea what fascism is. This is due to that ignorance you are celebrating.
It does not matter what contemporary Ameticans think. They are a minority of English speakers.
What is the consequence if people associate them more with Nazi Germany than Italian Facism?
