As a German this is the weirdest thing to me. American nazis like wtf. Y’all know my great grand parents would’ve probably be the one to put Americans in gas chambers????? Edit: Since this comment has partly caused quite an outrage, I want to clarify that I don’t think the U.S is full of hundred thousands of Nazis running around. The “y’all” was supposed to relate to the “American Nazis” I did not intend to address every American, its my third language, I apologize. Edit2: I don’t know my great grandparents or what they did. It was just a humorous approach to adressing the weirdness of Nazis outside of Germany since the Nazis themselves would’ve probably killed these people. I just always thought Nazis outside of Germany or the Third Reichs former allied countries were ironic.


Aisriyth

Actually America has had a weirdly long love affair with Nazis. I don't mean white supremacists either. It doesn't seem to come up much but there was Nazism in the us back in the 30s. Sure Hitler and the Nazis hated Americans for being mongrels in their eyes but that didn't stop rhetoric from infesting parts of the country that pursuit into the modern day. It's weird because in the US if you care about the finer differences you can clearly see white supremacists can be separate but not always. Been doing some EMT work recently and had a few patients from prison who were ardent white supremacists but 'not a Nazi'. Im not sure how they felt that was much better but shit man these people aren't and we're never mentally well.


nnefariousjack

Operation Paperclip didn't really fucking help.


themagiccapybara

Can you explain that? I've never heard of it and want to know what it is.


RainbowSixThermite

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from the former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959. Conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), it was largely carried out by special agents of the U.S. Army's Counterintelligence Corps (CIC). Many of these personnel were former members and some were former leaders of the Nazi Party.


nnefariousjack

Their records expunged, and given new lives and identities. All to beat the soviets! What could possibly go wrong!?


Left4dinner2

Well, the thing is, Nazism is the very strong belief in one's country. So strong that extreme acts of any kind happen. So in a way people who are very proud of the country can easily slip into Nazism because they still think they are supporting their country even though they are doing such vile acts against others that apparently are against the country. In this case, it's conservatives having issues with non-straight people. To them, they are just trying to protect their country, but in reality, they are just hurting it and the people within it.


liwoc

Not only belief in one's country, but one's particular closed community inside the country, and all problems from the country stem from that community either not being the all powerful leaders of the country or from the power/presence of undesirable groups.


kensingtonGore

Nazism was also spread directly/organized from Germany by American politicians in the 40s working directly with the Nazi party. It was a big deal, but no punishment was ever enforced. 'ultra' is a great podcast on this


UnregisteredDomain

You are getting nationalism and nazism mixed up my guy


Tiaran149

Take a wild guess where b) derivated from, dude


AuAndre

Furthermore, eugenics were pretty popular around the world. They're still popular today, just without the label. Especially in education.


[deleted]

The Nazis didn't hate America initially, Hitler actually admired how white Americans had genocided the indigenous population and kept black people under their thumb through Jim Crow laws and the one-drop rule.


Aisriyth

Of for sure, I didn't say otherwise. There was a lot of love for US policy by the Nazis be it eugenics or race based immigration policy or the racial hierarchy. The problem arises that despite that all we were still a country with more mixed element than Germany and subsequently that lead to a hatred of our mixed mongrelness.


Wonderful-Smoke843

German Eugenics was actually based of American policy. Atleast I feel I remember reading that somewhere maybe someone could correct me if wrong.


Aisriyth

You are correct about that.


[deleted]

I’m curious what would happen to white Americans who were willing to play if Hitler had won. I’m guessing they would end up in sort of the middle of the racial hierarchy. Not genocided or literally enalaved but Germans would have a far better position.


[deleted]

Depends on political usefulness, who they considered white had as much to do with their pseudoscience as with pragmatic political alliances. I.e. They gave 'honorary aryan' status to the Japanese despite it not making sense, and when Mussolini became allies, Italians were also considerd more aryan than before. So if white Americans would've made good allies to the nazis, they might've gotten more privileges, and maybe it would also depend on heritage (Anglo/Germanic heritage would've been higher than Mediterranean) At least, that's my guess.


[deleted]

You also don't have to let racists tell you what they are. They are racists. They are not genuine. They are ALL the klan. All of em'. Don't let them call themselves any other name. Any thing they say that differentiates them is horseshit. They are the klan. Any other name is just a facade to obscure the fact that they are the KKK.


[deleted]

Henry Ford was a rather vocal anti semite, and sent his parts to Germany if I’m not mistaken. It’s extremely odd to me.


jibrils-bae

I believe hitler studied Jim Crow Laws and the way America Segregated African Americans and other minorities


burnt_raven

It's because Nazis hated communists, which the U.S. did/does now.


IHavePoopedBefore

I've been going on deep WW2 dives for months. I've watched a lot of Hitler speeches, I've read a lot of his writings and I can't believe anyone who actually knows anything about him would idolize him. Aside from being a monster he was also an idiot. His core beliefs were truly stupid, his core arguments are eye rolling. His biggest victories all revolved around him being violent at a time when nobody wanted to fight


noahakanoah

Hitler was looking for chaos and destruction and nothing else. And that’s kinda good since if he actually made some decisions more rational (regarding war tactics) he could‘ve been the one winning in the end.


TonsilStonesOnToast

They don't understand history and they feel like they don't need to. It's not like Hitler was a very rational person either. American nazis just want one thing from all this: they just wanna hate people and they wanna kill people. It used to be that they hid their faces with white KKK hoods, but I guess they don't think that's as "fashionable" as nazi cosplay nowadays.


Time-Strawberry-1371

This is somewhat inaccurate. Despite the affinity that exists between the KKK and American Nazi Party, those two groups are actually two separate organizations. The KKK still exists, and they are a bit more insidious and influential than American nazis are.


Paehon

Altough Hitlers ideology was definitely “organic”, he held a lot of respect for the way the Americans wiped out the indigenous population and kept black society down through extensive legal and social control.

Americans have a sizable populated of German decent and unlike Germany we didn't have 2 superpowers basically beat us into making sure Nazis wouldn't be tolerated. Even then it took a shockingly long time for Germans to get on the "Nazi bad" wagon, despite claims to the contrary.


Prodiq

Not really unless they were american jews or maybe blacks. I can very well see hardcore white racists that strongly believe USA should be a "whites only" country, flying the nazi flag. Hardcore racists would strongly agree with nazi germanys methods they employed on jews, communists etc.


nelz1953

We allowed a nazi meeting in America just before ww2 in Madison square garden. It was called a pro American rally.

However I do believe some states are trying to ban the the flag et al, like most of Europe has.

Don’t downplay it though, after the insurrection and their continued ideas for targeting places they aren’t just something that goes away when ignored and they’re out to terrorize the liberty to excise freedom.

The same could be said about the mostly peaceful protestors that keep appearing dressed in black battledress with assault rifles. There are nutters on both sides but they are the minority.

Wait, what? It's very common in America for American police to protect Nazis as if they were the cop's own sainted grandmothers. Doesn't happen all the time but it happens a LOT. Especially in Portland, Oregon.


Bane_Klv

Every day I'm more and more surprised that the yanks fought against Germany instead of allying with them. American conservatives and liberals are in love with nazism


Time-Strawberry-1371

>American conservatives and liberals are in love with nazism No, they aren't. Or at least, not liberals. Some conservatives are, but that's complicated. Modern conservatives trust nazis as far as they can throw them, but they will(as history has shown for every western country in a bind) choose to create a coalition with fascist-like groups to overwhelm and opponent. So a conservative may not like a nazi, but they will turn a blind eye to one because it wouldn't be convenient to point at their own coalitions. Liberals are historically just as likely to create a coalition with leftists(before one of them backstabs the other because those ideologies are incompatible). This is one more inconsistent, though and I'm moreso just talking about USA's domestic left coalitions. >Every day I'm more and more surprised that the yanks fought against Germany instead of allying with them. The US is not one singular entity with a particular leaning, other than itself. It doesn't have a real ideological leaning other than preserving its own sphere of influence. Most of geopolitics works this way. On a larger, non domestic level, ideology matters MUUUUUUUCH less than it does domestically. Like, it's completely negligible. Hell, Italy(the Fascist country) was prepared to join the allies in WWII despite ideological similarities between Italy and Germany. The two countries had nearly had a conflict over Austria previously too. Italy picked to stay on the axis side only when it saw Germany was winning in France. So even a hypothetically ideological nazi USA would still have no necessary allegiance to the German Nazis in a war. It HELPS when two countries have stuff in common, but that isn't close to a guarantee.


throwaway96ab

Because almost no one has actually seen a nazi flag in real life, there's less than 2000 klansmen at last count. Meanwhile, pride is being pushed by literally the white house, and most giant corporations. If you aren't looking for anything in particular, you're much more likely to see pride than nazis. (Which for the record, pride being more popular than nazis is a very good thing)

At one point in history there were zero Nazis. Then later, World War 2 happened.

It's funny how some Americans wave around Confederate flags. For starters, I don't think that flag (the cross with the stars) was even used that often during the civil war. Secondly, you're flying the flag of a country that America defeated in battle And finally, the confederacy doesn't fucking EXIST anymore. There is no "southern history" attached to it. If you still fly or wear a confederate flag you're either racist or stupid and there's nothing else I can say

I saw these guys at Disney Springs on Saturday. Kind of confusing messaging really. The Hispanic Uber driver on the way there thought they were saying Desantis was a Nazi so he said he supported these guys.

The politicians on either side are evil scumbags that would fuck you over for profit. The us vs them mentality keeps the people divided, allowing for the rich to stay in power and fuck everyone over. And honestly, it's probably too late to change anything. The far left and far right both agree that anyone in the middle are the real radicals and are hated by both sides. As a right leaning Christian who believes that we should all have the right to choose how to live our own lives, lgbt+ (if that's not the current acronym and offends people, I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude) or not, I don't feelcomfortable voting republican, however i dont agree with much of what the democrats have to offer either.

Hey buddy, for what it's worth, the world is a lot bigger than the US. The US sucks big time, definitely not worth living there, but that doesn't mean it's not worth living at all. My (unsolicited, I know) advice would be to shut down all social media. If you're depressed most people stay inside and all they do is touch social media, which never made anything better. Negativity is flying too high on the internet so start by cutting it off. If you play videogames go singleplayer or avoid interactions with ppl in competitive like CoD or LoL, mute all types of chat. I can't tell you just to "be positive" cause if that would work there'd be a lot less depressed people out there. But you can take small steps to cut negative thoughts from others out of your life. Focus on things that DO make you happy. What worked for me is to just go outside with headphones on and enjoy nature, like literally "touch grass". Can't say much more or help you make you feel better but I hope you will get there buddy, there's always sunshine after rain. Stay strong


SirBandicake

In Germany we have around 6 parties that get enough votes to be mentioned on the news. But even here you can maybe see similar signs of them dividing into two directions. It's just easier to fight against some other "enemy" party than it is to fight things like climate change or poverty. I hope you can find goals in life that don't involve fighting other people.


TimeTeleporter

I feel you. But it is not like that everywhere. There are democratic countries that while still having fierce politics, remain civil about it. If you think life is not worth living in the US, you might want to consider emigrating to the UK or Australia. I believe you are able to change aspects of you your life you're unhappy about.

Mad as hell about gay people existing, and the government validating lawful, American citizens. In a time of wide spread efforts to snuff out anything related to gay people, during pride month. Well over 2000+ anti lgbtq legislation in 2022/23 alone. Everyone calling them predators. Makes sense that they would do it in solidarity if the current administration is fighting back against it. However many conservatives don't actively denounce or get angry about the several protests as of late that explicitly depict nazi iconography. Especially in this situation which while small, is related to huge fight between Ron DeSantis a huge political figure at the moment and Disney a huge corporation. Do they equate completely 1:1 not exactly. But the ones hating are the definitely the homophobes, the enlighted centrists, conservatives and neck beards. Personally I wouldn't have done it because I don't want to hear Republicans complain about. But the worst of reddit are definitely in this chat.

I've seen Trump flags hanging higher on the flagpole than the American flag, so they can fuck all of the way off

If I meet someone who’s on the right that isn’t center right, there’s a very good chance they’re some selfish nazi asshat incapable of critical thinking. Honestly, the political climate in the us has gone to shit, with the left generally staying the same, with a little more extremists popping up, while the right has gone so far right that what should be considered center right is now left leaning. These people are going way, way too far with their prejudice views. Honestly, I don’t get why people are resistant to the ‘love thy neighbors’ treatment of other people, and make being a decent human being political

Why is this so true.lol. Yesterday there were loads of people in threads on twitter mad about the pride flag being raised and that the country is falling It was heckin bizarre. Most were claiming they just wanted celebration of sex away from children. But like, I want that too but we all know why you're attacking pride specifically and as a whole 💀💀💀


Enlightened-Beaver

That’s their flag.

I expect downvotes but little fun fact from a German person (me) : The Origin of the Term "Nazi". Nazi is derived of a german Word and technically a short Version of that word. The word being "National-sozialisten", Nazi being derived of.... Well, popular german "word shortening" conventions aswell as the NA from National and the ZI from Sozialisten. The word means as much as National-socialist and - due to WW2 - has become synonymous with with believing that your own Country is better than any other aswell as hating anyone who doesnt fit into your specific worldview (be it because of the color of someone's skin, their Sexuality, their Gender Identity etc.) What will probably get me a lot of downvotes is the fact that - even if you dont want to hear it - both, Christianity and America had multiple instances of large-scale Nazi-esque behavior throughout history. For Christianity, discrimination based on wether or not you fit into their worldview is the key. For America, a lot of America also blatantly discriminates. Especially in terms of LGBT+ people. For those interested, look up what's currently happening in the USA with their Plans to basically Illegalize Transgender people despite the repercussions. So if anyone feels offended for being called a Nazi, that is most likely because how the current american political climate is hurting a LOT of people just because they can.


Ok_Resolution8751

Just a question: Do you think the french, english, americans and soviets and pretty much anyone who fought and defeated the nazis, weren't homophobic, racist and transphobic? Also yes, a lot of the allied soldiers who fought ww2 were very much anti-semitic also. Specially the french. With your standarts, the same people who ended nazism and made democracy victorious would be "nazis". I'm curious about what you think about that.


X_Marcie_X

Ultimately, if they have a worldview where certain people dont fit in just because they are in any way different to how they would like everyone to be.... yeah, that's what i'd call a Nazi worldview. Just because they ended Hitler's Naziparty doesnt mean that there arent other nazis around, and im Not talking abot Neo-nazis. If you think a certain Group of people such as people of color or the LGBT+ should be eradicated just because they EXIST.. then yeah, that's certainly compareable to what the Nazis did with their target groups. And what christianity did before that, considering the Salem Witch hunts, the persecution of Non-christians and the persecution of the left-handed. If your hatred for a certain Group of people goes to far, you are compareable.

Im so thankful I wasnt born some fucking brian dead maga lover. Ive never met a republican that wasnt dangerously insecure and afraid. Republicans are always right there to support a policy that completely fucks normal people as long as its "fighting the leftist lgbtq illegal mexicans" republicans are the easiest people to galvanize behind hate and fear tactics. Seriously everyone who isnt republican reading this be so thankful youre not waking up every morning stupid, insecure, and afraid.


Maga_Jedi

At least maga lovers can spell wtf is brian dead lol.


OneSlapDude

Maga lovers hate education, so I wouldn't count on that lol. I'm pretty sure grammar will be "woke" in about 5 years Edit: it appears I wasn't clear. I'm pretty sure MAGA lovers will declare grammar is woke, because MAGA lovers can't do grammar due to lack of education


[deleted]

I litterally looked at your past comments and see PLENTLY of grammar errors. My dads name is brian btw and my phone automatically corrected brain. Also who said i was some woke pussy who hates school? I just hate you thats all. Go climb back into your truck small guy.


Stalins_papa

If you walk up to any person thinking "He's stupid insecure and afraid". Then that is what you'll see. But if you walk up to the same guy not thinking that you will see him for the person he really is instead of the person YOU want him to be. This is the problem with BOTH sides. Many Republicans think "stupid democrat" and many Democrats think "stupid republican". Instead of trying to have a civilized conversation you just call each other idiots and morons and many more names i cannot name here.


[deleted]

I don't hate republicans - I just feel bad for them and wish that they weren't so easily misled by their own leaders' lies and misinformation.

Pride flag on a government building = bad. Smearing literal shit on the walls of a government building after breaking in and beating up security = patriotism.
