To move forward, we need to stop pretending it hasn't been a fascist, racist, evil empire from the very beginning. (Slavery is literally referenced in the Constitution). If you didn't notice until now, you are white and not paying attention. No hate intended, just true.
@anolandria this is so important to acknowledge and understand
@anolandria I mean the Nazis were inspired by Manifest Destiny and Jim Crow, so it's kinda stupid to try and link it back the other way around.
@sememmon Yep, solid point.
@anolandria 100% agree but also whatever it takes to wake people the fuck up I'll take. Even bad analogies.
I agree. That’s what’s behind banning the teaching of “divisive topics” in schools in places like #Iowa.
@donray Yes, exactly
@anolandria when we talk about 1930s Germany we need to talk about how they imported some of their race laws from the United States.
@McNeely without question. Hitler learned a lot from the US.
@anolandria eso, nosotros abajo del Río Grande, lo sabemos muy bien desde hace tiempo (we, below Rio Grande, know that very well since a long time ago).
@poroutrolado Yes. Claro que si.
