       The country that invented Nazis is now far less Nazi-like than the government of some red states in the United States.

       @laurenIn their defense, Hitler modeled his ideology on the American Confederacy.

       @lauren Well, the Nazis were heavily inspired by many of the from the exact same states, so the problem is somewhat ciruclar.https://www.history.com/news/how-the-nazis-were-inspired-by-jim-crow

       @lauren another interesting comparison is how they spend a lot of time in German schools talking about the horrors of their past, whereas red states would like to just whitewash the topics they find unpleasant.

       @lauren it’s a poetic irony that modern Germany became the most powerful country in Europe through coming to terms with their dark past, dedication to democratic process and progressive cooperation with partners, after the Nazis who wanted to achieve that through genocide were removed.Many other countries would be wise to learn from their example.
