      Not only did they inspire the literal Third Reich, but the actual Nazis took one look at the One Drop Rule when they were trying to figure out how to build a racially stratified society and were disgusted at how ridiculous a policy it was.

      The literal Nazis thought Jim Crow was too racist.

        My instinct is that they just didn’t want Oberfuhrer Hans Warkrimes getting executed because his great great aunt on his father’s side was Romanian or something

          That was exactly it. So many of the high command had Jewish relatives that by that rule they’d all be in a camp, so they settled on allowing one Jewish grandparent at most to be considered Aryan.

      The third Reich fawned over FDR’s ability to “break through bureaucracy to get what he wants to serve his country”. For the longest time, his feeling towards them were “temporarily embarrassed” at best.

      A lot of this is explained in the book “renegade history of the United States” by Thaddeus Russell.

    This country has been always fascist

    Just different shades of fascism throughout the years (some more intense than others), ask anyone who isn’t white, male, straight and Christian.

    The US is the OG fascist state. Manifest destiny was a direct inspiration of German Lebensraum. When the Nazis wrote the Nuremberg laws they modelled them on the Jim Crow laws of American apartheid, although the Nazis found the “one drop” rule too extreme and instead opted to operate with a system of a minimum threshold of Jewish blood allowed.

      Yep, the US system already allows us to fulfill Hitler’s wildest dreams.

      Imagine being so racist that even the Nazis think you’re too extreme.

    Depending on your definition of fascism, the answer is either “yes” “already there” or “get a better definition of fascism dork”

    Some others already said this. But yeah burgerland is a fascist project which proceeded all the lebensraum and continues eastward expansion.

    Burgerland got ahead of these german or italian or japanese projects before they can encroach burgerland’s own expansion project.
