Yeah, Germany simply reproduced colonialism internally. Everything they did was modeled after things settler-colonies had already done, the difference was that it was being done to Europeans this time instead of Africans or Native Americans or Asians.

Which is why Hitler and Nazis have become such villains in the eyes of the West when they didn’t do anything particularly new or shocking for their societies: because they did it to other White people. Non-whites? Fuck em, lol, chop off their hands and put them in zoos, get them all hooked in opium, starve and murder them while claiming you’re the victim, etc etc. Oh well. The imperial boomerang is hitting hard in America and will be felt in Europe as well, will Westerners finally learn that those who believe in nothing but their own supremacy don’t care about anyone, skin colour included, and that something has to dramatically change at the core of the Western psyche?
