       @aral Did you see that clip of Harris getting questioned by a Palestine activist and the whole crowd booing them?

       @aral if that's what it takes to keep Hitler out of office.

       @aral Sure, but so far we have a better record than the Germans fighting this stuff.

       @aral You know why we call Nazis 'Nazis' and not National Socialists, right?It was because they really, really didn't like it -- it was a German homonym for an ignorant bumpkin -- a shortening of 'Ignatius', like we use the name 'Cletus'.That is to say, in calling them weird, there's a similarly important act of mockery in a struggle against image-obsessed narcissists that comes with a long historical precedence. Unlike shouts and chants and physical conflict, it deflates and unnerves them.

       @aral Well.. In the reality he wasn't and not as much as those who "created" and later used him. Especially if you look at the man trough the very big picture of what was happening in Europe at this time and a little earlier. Trough the history, sociology and cultural science. All together shows clearly that he was simply an marionette who went totally out of any form of control done earlier by his puppet masters. But that's an separate and also very big, not easy to explain in few words topic.

       @Shivviness @fkamiah17 Yeah, I guess it was stupid of me to be hopeful. Oh well. More genocide it is, then.

       @jdormansteele2 The problem is, there isn’t a USA to save the USA from a Nazi USA. (Kinda what happens when you take yourself hostage by building the world’s most lethal military.)

       @froge @jdormansteele2 Donno, man, the only country to have nuked people? I think it’s a rational fear more than anything else.

       @aral@mastodon.ar.al @jdormansteele2@mastodon.social At the risk of being dragged into a political argument for a passing comment, I do have to point out that perhaps the several other nations with the ability to use nukes, but the restraint to choose not to, are perhaps going to be fine... Besides I was mostly commenting on the idea that the USA alone ended up defeating nazi germany, historically that's not really the case, although they helped they weren't the cause of the loss (talk to your local history buff about why)

       @froge @jdormansteele2 Oh, yeah, no, I wasn’t arguing that at all. The last thing I want to do is fluff any USain egos more than they’re already fluffed.

       @Shivviness @fkamiah17 @aral I guess no one seriously expected the Democrats to stop enabling war crimes. Neither side in US politics would do that. The US has always put itself above international law.

       @aral True. But my point was about internal politics. The US political system has so far resisted a complete fascist collapse; this was not the case in Germany in the 30s. Obviously things are very different today, with Germany looking like the more stable society.
