Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 days agoNazis weren’t exterminated, the US government hired quite a few (and that’s not counting the ones who went on vacation to Brazil in 1945)
Maybe we should do it right this time.
Not to mention that the Germans themselves took a few years out, and then put a lot of the Nazi political machine back in charge.
Does anyone remember when Kurt Waldheim, UN Secretary General for 9 years and President of Austria for 6, turned out to be a former nazi? Whoops ie!
You’re right, but bad example. Maybe when talking about Germans, use an actual German example? There are more than enough, Kurt Georg Kiesinger for instance.
You can exterminate an area, and not get all in the world.
Yes you can, but that still didn’t happen. If you think there weren’t any Nazis left in Germany (or even weren’t in government after the fact), I’ve got some lovely ocean front property in Austria to sell you.
Ok, they used the wrong word. Probably should have said execute.

The biggest sin of the American government was failing to hang every single confederate sympathizer. The problems only cascade from there.

This is where I am at where MAGA is concerned. It would be a crimson lining to a 2nd American Civil War, where I and others can free our society of Nazi kindred for good. IMO, the 1% of America are very likely to sympathize with the Confederates, because they believe that slavery of the poors is the natural state of things.

The problem is how do you find them all? You never will since some of them are smart enough not to advertise how vile they are. And as long as a few of them still exist they’ll multiply and spread their shitty philosophy.

That metric can said of just about anything regarding beliefs. The important thing is reducing the number of MAGA to levels where they beliefs can’t really propagate anymore. The keys to that lies in eliminating the 1% as a class, by reducing wealth gaps and maintaining them at lower levels as an institution. This would require huge reforms, along the lines of the Magna Carta and the American Constitution, but for economics.
The 1% wield immense political power, because they hoard dynastic wealth and can use it as a club against society. That is why they are the lynchpin of conservative projects, and so they must be removed as a factor, if a better society is to be fostered.

You don’t need to kill every wolf to protest the village, you just need to kill enough that the wolf learns the village is a death sentence. The smart one’s will always still be in the woods and when one slips they’ll remind the rest why they hide there.
