As someone who has spent years studying WW2 and the holocaust, America needs to wake the fuck up.

"it's a roman salute" I mean, really? You're a fucking idiot and that ideology is the reason this country is falling apart from the inside out. if you're defending him in any way whatsoever, you're the issue. nothing about what he did is justifiable, regardless of how many random ass excuses you give him.

elon musk is deemed to be the "smartest man" in the united states (the logic used to key no gates dictate vaccine and eating bugs policy) and you have the nerve to think this was an accident? To think he wasn't 100% aware of his actions and the consequences that were sure to follow? He's famous enough to have had media training enough to have been told repeatedly not to make hand gestures that could resemble that in any way.

But yeah. it was an accident.

Hitler rose to power gradually, everyone believes he stormed into office, everyone cheered, and he began committing genocide. This happens via piecemeal development, not immediate change. or, as quoted from the handmaid's tale, "nothing changes instantaneously. in a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it."

Anybody in a position of power is aware of this. it's about time some of you accept it as well.
The nazi party was initially shunned by the german population. they were extremists, nobody wanted them to run the government in a million fucking years, but things happen. In this case, the treaty of versailles was put in order and they thereby had no choice but to turn to the man who was claiming that he'd "make germany great again.' Sund familiar? Yeah.

He was a wonderful politician at first. he fixed the economy, gained respect from neighboring nations, and took over lots of lost land from WWl, but, as time went on, he just kept going. no other country dared to say shit to him for fear of starting another war. So they left him to continue stealing more and more land, to rise higher and higher in power, to kill more and more of his own citizens.

By the time people realized he was a dictator, it was too late. jewish people were being gassed, land was being stolen, and wars were being declared. America, you have a huge sign flashing in our fucking faces.

to ignore something that goddamn inexcusable would be nothing short of foolish. if nothing is done by this, we're signing our own death warrants.
