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

Wait till you find out what nazi Germany was modelled on.

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.

The US, of course. Hitler praised the US and the Nazis modeled parts of their economy and politics on strategies the US had already employed on indigenous peoples and black Statesians.

Incredibly, German nazis found some of the US laws to be too extreme:

Moyers: Bilbo said, “One drop of Negro blood placed in the veins of the purest Caucasian destroys the inventive genius of his mind and palsies his creative faculty.” Is it true that the Nazis thought the one-drop rule too extreme?

Whitman: They did indeed. They never proposed anything nearly as extreme as the one-drop rule. In fact the standard, the most far-reaching Nazi definitions of who counted as a Jew, matched the least far-reaching ones to be found in the American states.

Yep, and Statesians regularly engage in indigenous genocide denial and minimize the atrocities of slavery to this day.
