    It’s an unbroken continuous culture, my friend. Forced hysterectomies were official policy through the 1970s to sterilize a third of Puerto Rico and many indigenous women. Black people are overwhelmingly incarcerated, the USA still imprisons more of its population than any other country in history, and it uses those prisoners as slave labor to produce $11 billion in goods and services while also charging them $100 - $300 per day for being in prison. Child separation is still happening in 2024. Immigrants are kept in solitary confinement, which is torture. Alabama just gassed a man to death and every observer said it was torture.

    The USA bombed peasants around the world for decades. North Koreans needed to live in caves to avoid the amount of napalm the USA dropped on them after destroying quite literally every bombable target in the country. The USA continues to engage in collective punishment and uses anti-communism as its reasoning, just like the Nazis did.

    The Banderites in Ukraine. The neo-Nazis in the USA. The Brothers of Italy. It’s all happening right here in the present, in an unbroken line of politics and culture that predates the Third Reich by centuries. The empire the USA inherited from Western Europe (because the USA was led by people from Western Europe) was just as brutal, enslaving, raping, pillaging, and bloodthirsty as the USA was with oppressing the indigenous people who were here and are still here despite the genocide. The USA still supports that genocidal history and still upholds that the genocide gives them the right to the land and to destroy that land. The indigenous are still fighting for their lives against the same USA socio-poitical history that Hitler referenced in Mein Kampf as his model.

      So is your point that Russia is correctly fighting the Nazis? Because I can’t figure out what any of this has to do with Scholz saying Tucker’s interview with Putin tells an absurd story.

        That’s because, like a classic liberal, you jumped into a thread that was making a comment about Scholz, made some vague word noises that implied a position on that topic, and then when you were confronted about the topic with facts you can’t actually handle you need to jump back to the parent topic in order to change the context so you don’t have your fragile worldview challenged.
