Something that is consistently forgotten about Nazi Germany was that in the design of the “final solution” it looked at the USA at the time and how it was “solving” it’s “problem” of black, communist, indigenous, impoverished etc. peoples and the main takeaway for Germany was that it was the template to start with, but it was inefficient and non-modernized.
After the fall of the third Reich and the reveal of the death camps by the USSR there was enough global pushback that curbed a lot of the most extreme aspects of those genocidal, authoritarian, etc. idealogies, but there was never a reckoning in most of the “western” world for much of the underlying ideology. As a result the main takeaway for most of the “western” world has not been against Nazism, but against efficient and unmasked Nazism.
Nobody really made comparisons between Isreal and Nazis despite the former running concentration camps for 80+ years, until they started an extermination campaign. America is only “becoming like Nazi Germany” after it starts to increase the efficiency of it’s military/prison/industrial complex despite a storied history of global muders, disappearances, etc. States in general are not seen with the walls, towers and guards that exist in reality which hold us all as political prisoners. The monopoly on violence isn’t questioned until it is, inevitably, used for its function instead of just primarily for show.
This is the America you’ve always lived in, it’s just discarded the mask due to it being “inefficient”.
