Current Events > Hitler looked to the US for ideas on how to segregate Jews

(+) Yeah! (+)

Only in America can someone unironically think America is just like Nazi Germany.

Damn, that sucks. I was usually one of the only white kids in most of my elementary school classes. Had plenty of black teachers growing up. Learned a lot of different perspectives growing up in the inner city.

Imagine reading through this topic and then forming this thought.

Not a single person here has said that, but ok

I would argue that not rounding everyone up and murdering them on an industrial scale while simultaneously trying to conquer all of Europe is a reasonable metric.

the US was literally founded on a genocide which is still ongoing. yes, there are currently fewer people in the targeted groups. whoop dee doo. have you considered why that's the case?

Nazi Germany was not some singular unique evil

What are you even talking about? Indian reservations? They aren't ideal but the US just sending money and food to reservations that people can freely come and go from isn't what I would call genocide.

If america is so bad why not move to Venezuela, Liberia, Kenya, China or Saudi Arabia?

Lmao. How do you think Native Americans went from having a whole continent to pretty much just reservations?

When instead of killing them we put them on reservations and fed them for generations up to the present day? Do you really not see the difference between that and if we had decided to just whipe them out?

I wonder where the Soviets fit into all of this. They actually were just as bad as the Nazis

time frames matter

So you dont understand the concept of history, do you?

I do but do you understand how time frames and periods work? Human History by all means is ever changing after all and with all recorded history we know of you have to take those facts into consideration.

Im not saying this country (US) is or was perfect but in terms if the question you asked the answer is yes because for all the fucked up things we did and are doing as a country at that point in time Germany was worse.

Possibly but in terms of what fucked up shit we were doing during that time frame versus Germany should be clear as fucking day.

Not how that works in the comparison. At the end of the day TC asked a very specific question and got answered and didnt like the answers that didnt align with his opinions

The fairy tale/crappy entertainment with good guys and bad guys screws our perspective and make us think arbitrarily.

In real life its always evil vs evil. Not good vs evil. One side is usually the lesser evil, but still evil.

Didn't someone in the USA create a database of Jews in America for Hitler in case Nazi Germany won and took over?

If you're comparing the US of that timeframe with the Germany of that timeframe, Germany is incomparably worse. If we want to compare the entirety of the last 400 years of both countries, then you can make some different arguments.

Holy fuck dude, go do some reading and come back. The Indian Ring is just one example of how we continued killing them. So on reservations the Indians would get supplies from the Feds. The Feds would pay companies to deliver the supplies. The companies would buy the cheapest nastiest, often rotten, food that they could and keep the excess money as profits. Then when the Natives couldn't live on that food they would go off the reservation to hunt or steal, which would give the military an excuse to move them again, or oftentimes just kill a shitload of them. This grift was widely known and accepted by those in government, a good chunk of whom owned an interest in the companies getting paid to deliver supplies. Fuck off with this nonsense that the reservations weren't part of a genocide.

You need to actually learn our history. We still had slaves in the south up until 1941.

Last I checked, 1941 was during WWII.

Pockets of slavery existed into the 1960s

Not trolling at all, you just seem to think that history should only be viewed at a very specific time frame decided by you. Its silly and you look like a fool for your narrow view of how the world works.

If your topic is asking a very specific question about a very specific time frame then yes thats how these things would be viewed. Otherwise when you start to add things not related to the current discussion you are changing the topic at hand to better try and suit your own bias. Which makes this at most a dishonest topic.

The fuck is this topic?

You still have no concept as to how history works, considering you keep referring to a specific time frame.

thats not how history works.

If your question is based on a specific time period then yes thats how that works. Otherwise you are creating a topic that is looking for ways to be as dishonest as possible.
