why does the nazi look like a jewish caricature lol

I think I got a name for the beard: “similar historical conditions”.

This is just an informal observation from my part, as an external observer (to USA, Italy and Germany), but I’ve noticed two “patterns” behind countries falling into fascism. The relevant one here is the same as you see in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany:

1. quick expansion in territory and population
2. stagnation due to external forces preventing it from expanding further
3. the State keeping its “we need more power!” mode boiling its engines for a century or so
4. an internal shift from “we need to control more people” to “we need to control people more”
5. the erosion of democratic institutions and power checks, since they “get in the way”
6. the acceptance of increasingly more authoritarian leaders, as the democratically-minded ones are seen as “weak” and “inept”
7. the population shifting its Overton window towards authoritarianism, and further tolerating extremist groups and agendas

When the fascist coup happens, people don’t ask “why”. They ask “why bother” — because the coup replaces an elite like “nooo, we aren’t fascists! We do everything fascists do, except $small_thing” with one that is like “yes, we are fascists. We do everything other fascists do, including $small_thing”.

Similarities between #7 and that “America first”, IMO, are not a coincidence.

It’s almost like the Nazis saw the native American genocide and said “oh shit that’s a good idea, let’s get that living room.”

I am tired of pretending that’s an overlooked and hypocritical coincidence. It’s a playbook and everyone knows it, but pretends it isn’t.

Typical Theodor Seuss Geisel W

Woth today’s more disgusting fascism, it’s tied by public hairs instead of beards, but the effect is the same

Looks familiar

Since when are they unrelated by blood? The largest genetic population in the USA after the English was (and I think might still be?) German.
