    nazis literally based the design of the holocaust on the american genocides and reservation system.

    they taught the nazis how to nazi.

    they just arent as subtle about it anymore.

      That’s a lot of learning from the British Empire too then.

      And from that other moustached Austrian/German, Ed Bernays, on how to sell the genocide to the public. Top “advertising or marketing” [“crystalizing public opinion”/“manufacturing consent”] you got there, USA.

        Yeah, the British invented concentration camps. Or at least used them in the Boer wars, I guess they probably weren’t the first to gather people in camps to deal with some portion of them running a resistance.

        The Nazi innovation was the gas chambers.
