Something that bothers me with US politics looking bleak;
When Germany went full fascist, they were still a fairly NEW country and their entry into imperialism was pretty late, despite all the Nazi appeals to historicity. By contrast we’re very much a fallen empire rooted in anti-Blackness, anti-immigrant sentiment, a rugged individual myth which Germans don’t have, and outside fashy interests really pulling strings to get our domestic shit into office. Tbh I think we’re way more susceptible.

@Leucrotta Yeah... yeah that tracks.

@Leucrotta oh yeah, that's a big concern
I also think that unlike Germany surrounded by other countries who already have reason to fight against them the US does not have that and the US military is vastly more powerful than the German military was
on top of that the long history of intelligence agency fuckery with other countries' political systems means very much we export and uphold our fascism in a way Germany never could
