Depending on your pov, the US has always been in its nazi phase. Ask the natives or people of color.
Fascism is just capitalism in crisis, imperial boomerang shit.
It’s just visible now to Americans now that the guns are being turned inward
What do you mean “enter”? The entire country is built upon genocide and slavery.
Wait till you learn where the nazis got the idea for concentration camps from…
and actual concentration camps during ww2 in america
Or the nuremberg laws. The american version was too strict (one drop rule) they went with a relaxed version.
Googling “one drop rule”
They’re talking about “invisible blackness”. These people were fucking insane.

Entering the realization phase that the US is a Nazi.
Next they’ll start enslaving people and giving out infected blankets to drive tribes off the land.
And then they’ll start putting the American Japanese in internment camps!
And sponsoring military coups to overthrow democracies.
They already enslaved people, you can read about prison labor.
Look up operation paperclip
Oh, yup.
I just made a reply mentioning paperclip, because a search suggested no one had mentioned it yet… I just hadnt scrolled down enough yet.
Thank you for mentioning operation paperclip
you could radicalize so so many people by just giving them a basic history of what the west ACTUALLY did after ww2 and how little they wanted to actually stop germany before it started. really contextualizes current day

america was birthed from proto-nazi ideas.
I’d say it’s more of its neoconfederate phase. Turns out leaving a seditious rotten core as part of your government isn’t a good idea. But hey, at least you are now indivisible with fascism.
was long nazi phase. [see OSS>CIA]
just malignant metastasising now.
good. now it’s bad enough to see, to evoke deploying remedies.
we are in a lot of trouble (and long have been ~ less so now that we know). we can still mend this.
It would be nice if it wasnt concurrent with the climate crisis, but what can you do?
Things relate more than most realize.
Oh I know it’s connected, I simply lament it
I dont argue against relations, I think differentiation sharpens your argument.
Sure there are relations between Mussolini and Hitler, both are facists, but only Hitler was a Nazi.
There are also relations between capitalism and facism, still they are not the same thing.
(Same goes for left politics, Marx and Stalin where both communists, but a Marxist is still different from a Stalinist)
Hitler was a Nazi.
Worth unpicking a little of the Orwellian contortion of language that goes along with that. While “Nazi”'s generally will understood now, for what it historically is, what’s less well understood in some places, is that “Nazi”'s derived from “national socialism”, and from there we can critique what was (and what some still try to promote), was not (and is not) either nationalist, nor socialist. It was expansionist and domineering (among many other suitable descriptors (supremacist, jingoist, hegemonic, totalitarian, eugenicist, etc)). All quite the contrary to being nationalist, or socialist.
And, quite the example of the danger of the name changers. We’re fortunate to have seen Hitler for the rotter he was, and to have seen how rotten “Nazism” is, but I still wonder how much goodness (baby) got thrown out with the newspeak inversion and conflation (bathwater).
Similar to how Marx usurped the word “communist” (used by anarchists for at least 5 years before Marx took it) and handed it over to tankies and totalitarians, and the Cold War’s authoritarian Right, were only too eager to carry on the mislabeling of totalitarianism as communism, in their McCarthyian RedScare. One side of authoritarianism using “communism” as their pleasant sounding rebrand, the other side of authoritarianism happy to misuse the term too, to make “real communism” (anarcho-communism) unappealing, in being confused with the authoritarian ilk.
… How much of this then goes back to geography and crops… or secret societies and plots… There’s so many more cans of worms to explore.
I just thought that a good time to remind ourselves of the context. … & not all communists are totalitarians. (Arguably none are, if seeing through the Orwellian mislabelling.)

The concurrency, is an intriguing clue, for the curious minded researcher. In how far back it goes.
Maybe I am nitpicking here, but as a German the difference of facists and Nazis is an important one to make. Every Nazi is a facist, not every facist is a Nazi.
Nazis see themself in the tradition of the NSDAP, facists dont necessarily do.
I dont think the biden or Obama administration where in tradition of Hitler, even if there were facist tendencies long ago. I think trump, Vance etc. Are really acting in tradition of the specific German facists, the NSDAP and Hitler.
I dont think the biden or Obama administration where in tradition of Hitler
True but they was supporting the terrorist state of israel who is acting like nazis since it’s creation

The genocide couldn’t happen without the USA support and the wedt in General. Even Russia and China are complicit. In this case the associate of the criminal charges is as serious as the one who commited the crimes
Zionism is similar to nazim they are both supermasist ideologies . Zionists leaders has the same goddamn rhetoric as Nazis and use similar terrorism acts and tactics. Stop whitewashing Zionism. Just because Nazism main target are jews and zionism main target is palestinians it doesn’t mean they are not similar. Similariry do not equals identity
Yup. Good to point out the “all nazis are fascist, not all fascist are nazi” distinction logic. Thanks.
I kept trying to warn people, that merely moving “left” from the more purely corporatist fascism we are currently under, does not bring us to a better place. The “greater good” start getting served with totalitarian atrocities all the more, moving from a more Pinochet place to a more Hitler place. We have to get more freedom back too, in at least equal measure…

My Realisation was when they started rehiring only People that swear an oath to the President
That was a „„GLeichschaltung"
The only people still visiting the U.S. are ones that regret not being around to participate in the Third Reich so badly that they want to watch and support the Fourth Reich rising.
I’m sorry but the third reich meant the third german empire y’all have to start counting from one you can’t just steal other peoples work
Sorry, the U.S. can (and does) steal absolutely anything it wants. Land, lives, resources, technology.
Always has, always will.

Going from “only imperialist” to “imperialist nazi” doesn’t seem like a big difference. UK and France weren’t exactly known for thinking the natives of their colonies were humans.

What do you mean enter?
Well they are still in the first phase “gleichschaltung”
They are consolidating media, institutions etc. Fight opposition, spread fear through things like ice, set the narrative basis to annexing other countries.
They are not yet in the main phase, where opposition is already silenced, protests not happening at all anymore and full on war with their neighbours is raging.
What we are seeing since 2016 is the groundwork, since trump 2 we see them slowly taking of their imperialistic mask and showing their Nazi face, shooting not “only” foreigners but occasionally also citizens.
Still we are not in the fullblown Nazi phase where they are lining up political opponents against a wall and execute them or where they have dedicated facilities for mass murder of citizens.
That’s what I mean by enter.
