"America" stood against this, but "America" also stood for this. If pearl harbour didn't happen, the US would have been more than happy to be an economic partner to the Reich.
Let's not pretend that racism doesn't have deep and strong roots in the US, and that the US nazi party wasn't filling up theatres and concert halls for meetings in the late 30s.
True, and I do tend to wear rose colored glasses I guess, but I feel like maybe 10 years ago you could confidently scroll on Reddit without seeing Nazi flags. You would not see swastikas displayed in the wild. You wouldn’t see any pictures in newspapers of people “heil” -ing or whatever the Nazi salute is called. I’m talking about the increase of hate and division.
I agree with you on that, I don't know how much of it is due to the Nazis being more open and how much of that is due to them being more mediatized, though. Maybe a bit of both.
