What is Operation Paperclip?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
The code name for when the US government hired a bunch of literal Nazis in order to gain a cold war advantage over the USSR

Ah gotcha, I was thinking maybe it had to do with the AI Paperclip Problem but I was way off.

He’ll just say he’s apolitical.🎵

Well, if you’re already aiming for the fourth reich and a robot Hitler just announces themselves, you should get it on board. Doubly so if the company is owned by the guy who did the salute in public for the president.

I think it was the onion that did the “Nazi vs. KKK” as being the two party system in the US.
It made me think of the “Purity Nazis” vs. the “Mecha Race Nazis”.
Is our future two Nazi parties fighting about abolishing all but the white race vs. the one that just wants to abolish the entire human race?

White supremacy is the glue that holds all sorts of imperialistic movements with Europeans at their core. It’s not truly an ideology (it would crumble under any sort of examination), just a feeling, but with a little bit of spin and propaganda that’s more than enough for those who don’t think thoroughly. 🤷
