Who do you think Hitler took inspiration from?

It's not only well documented that the American treatment of Black and Indigenous people directly inspired Hitler, but also, segregation and Jim Crow (both direct inspiration) in the US ended over 20 years after the holocaust, and slavery is still legal in the form of the prison industrial complex, which is a white supremacist institution that disproportionately harms already marginalised populations.

I am a decedent of holocaust survivors, this isn't to make light of it, it's a statement on just how bad the US is.

E: it's late and I didn't notice that queermunist had basically said the same until after I replied, but I'm leaving it, because the point is worth making again.

My point was - no matter how bad the DS is, for the time being, Nazi Germany still was way worse. But yeah, the DSA are working hard on getting there - and if you add Israel's genocidal bodycount to that of the DSA with all its proxy wars, it will soon be getting dangerously close. 70-85 million dead caused by WW2, ultimately fault of the Nazis (Germans and Austrians), Italy and Japan. I guess the genocide in the DS was mostly lower in numbers because the indigenous population wasn't as big - for they would sure as hell tried to eradicate the native Americans regardless of how many there were.
