    Yeah, chillingly similar to hitler’s ideas:

    The whole European continent appears to be destined by Divine Providence to be peopled by one nation, speaking one language, professing one general system of religious and political principles, and accustomed to one general tenor of social usages and customs.

    except whoops...

    just kidding, this is actually a direct quote by a US president responsible for the total genocide of native americans a.k.a. “manifest destiny”, which then inspired the nazis:

    The whole continent of North America appears to be destined by Divine Providence to be peopled by one nation, speaking one language, professing one general system of religious and political principles, and accustomed to one general tenor of social usages and customs

    John Quincy Adams [source]

    US elites have always been nazis, they just learned to hide it when nazism became unpopular after WW2. now the mask is coming off again

          They shouldn’t but almost always are.

          They alsoshouldn’t be shocked to discover that it’s a long and storied tradition that continues to the present day and yet.

      Lmao. Hitler’s ideas were chillingly similar to American actions in the decades before. He and his top brass constantly took inspiration from the way America treated Natives and Africans.

      They wrote about it.
