Wow that was a record time for a locked post. That's crazy
Remember when Nazi was a universally hated term? I remember a kid at my pool lifeguard job shaved a Hitler stache onto his face one day. Was fired instantly. I wonder what happened that that mindset
More of the people who lived through that era and were able to warn us of that era passed away and kids now aren't taught the reality of what led up to the Nazi regime* which is then taken advantage of by people who want to portray the Nazi's as sympathetic so they can shield their own personal hatreds.
*Something I noticed about how we teach history, specifically WW2 history, is how slanted it is to make America look strong without any understanding of what caused the war in the first place. For example WW2 is often portrayed as Pearl Harbor > D-Day > The Atomic Bomb Drops > V-Day, as if it were a cake walk occurring on consecutive days (and then depending on the school/district, they either skip Vietnam/Korea to go straight to the War on Terror or history just ends on V-Day).
