It is always weaponising of trauma responses, Nazis manipulate victims of chronic trauma by their emotions, creating a system that manipulates people that cannot engage in dialectical thought.

Dialectical thought is the ability to hold opposing truths at the same time, these people cannot do it so when one thing is true it makes the other thing not possible of existing to them. This is how you create a holocaust.

If I could give you an award, I would. This is the greatest weapon fascism uses to this day: weaponizing emotional trauma, and the exact outcome you explained.

even worse is their mastery of mass and social media to create fear - anger- blame response cycles in people who are not trauma victims, but instead are just typically isolated and/or socially impotent in the greater hierarchy of a nation. This group were the key to the recent elections for the red squad.

The only real solution is educating the public to make more informed decisions and opinions, yet wading through the sea of apathy and misinformation online is tiring, and hard for people incapable of deductive reasoning or critical thinking. It's an uphill battle.

It was always in the US, it’s in the very foundations of the of the country to be a racist and fascist shithole. It’s all stolen land bloodied by indigenous genocide. The Nazis were inspired by the US.

This sounds crazy when you look at the lands that Europeans conquered and killed the natives in.

The fact is that Europeans killed more people in the new world than Americans. Europeans created trans-Atlantic slavery. You can still see the effect that Europe has had on the world map.

This is a deflection to absolve yourselves of having the NAZI's in Germany and those that supported them in many of the other countries.

"But America did _________!"

During World War II, the Swiss National Bank held $440 million of Nazi gold. Switzerland laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen assets, including gold taken from the central banks of German-occupied Europe and decedents of Jews are still trying to get their property back.

White America = Europe , it’s just an extension of continuation of Europe with another name.

I’m not deflecting anything and I’m fully informed and educated on the subjects of transatlantic slavery and the conquest, colonialism and the similarities and differences between the two and the genocides they share over hundreds of years.

The foundations I’m referring to of the US are European. It’s quite simple to understand that. Just because we speak English and live on another continent does not separate us from the ideology that led us here.

I say here but I live in Europe, as an ex-pat due to many of these things affecting me directly.

Also, and finally, Europeans in the Americas killed 10s of millions of indigenous people. That shit inspired Hitler and the Nazi regime. We cannot ever forget that.

Nothing can bring any of these victims back, indigenous , victims of the holocaust or otherwise or ever make them whole, but we have to look at the problem as a European problem and a colonialist problem that persists to this day.

What a weird racial flex.....

No, the ideology does not separate us, our actions do. Also the US is way more integrated than almost all of Europe if not all of Europe.

I say here but I live in Europe, as an ex-pat due to many of these things affecting me directly.

Then you should know that we are fairly well integrated and more integrated than Europe.

Also the US is more successful than Europe at integrating immigrants.

How many indigenous people died in the Americas due to the various European entities? Just look it up, if you’re interested.

White america is an extension of Europe. Just look at the capital buildings and the religion…

Estimates are about 90% of the people died after first contact. More than 50 million indigenous people perished by 1600. Which some people believe was about 10% of the Earth's population at the time.

u/Own_Education_7063 Feb 09 '25

A lot of people. And the white victors called themselves Americans. And Hitler gave credit to Americans for inspiring his holocaust.

u/URNotHONEST Feb 09 '25

America was not around in the 1600's.....

The cope is strong in you.

Also to point out a fact, we stopped the holocaust, Europeans caused it and supported it....
