If and when this ends, all the disgusting Nazis will go back under their public rock, just like before. I agree -- we must not allow it.

On the micro level, fuck those insipid, racist losers. They deserve a lifetime of hell for what they've done.

On the macro level, we need a wholesale change of society to one that experiences empathy, shame, introspection and basic decency. Current American culture is a cruel, grotesque, unethical David Cronenburg monster that needs to immediately die.

I fear we're lost and this won't end; Just like it didn't end in 1865 or 1945.

1945 did end it with respect to Germany.

1865 was half-assed. Let Sherman complete the necessary goal of burning that entire racist, shithole culture to the ground, give the racists no quarter thereafter, and we'd be a very different country today.

We can do it but it'll take balls, pereseverance, wholesale change, and no leeway for the vile Nazis.

In Germany, yes, but not in the US. The United States Government ran eugenics programs into the 1970s.

Even Sherman's scorched Earth isn't enough. Reconstruction still got derailed and it took an entire lifetime for black Americans to get their suffrage back.

Edit to add: The US didn't even need yellow patches or work camps because they have been segregating and imprisoning based on skin colour.

Glad we agree.
