Damn they had to sleep on the street? Would really suck if half a million people in this country were in that situation every single day

Timothee Chalamet looks like he's 13 years old and has tuberculosis. My brother has a French friend who looks just like him. He only ate sour dinosaur candy every day until his doctor told him he was going to die from malnutrition if he continued. He has had more girlfriends than any guy I have known though, so I guess some women are into that look.

I think finding out that Hitler was inspired by how throughly Andrew Jackson committed genocide against the Natives would shatter or at least destabilize the ethos of the Founding Fathers & America for a lot of people

zvaigzdelasas

also the american eugenics movement which started in the late 1800′s was a huge inspiration for Hitler, and was even where the idea of blonde hair blue eyed superiority came from, and the idea of a “gas chamber” to take care of “undesirables”. In the early part of the third reich, the american eugenics movement saw it as the logical conclusion of their ““research”” and republished lots and lots of nazi propaganda

but yeah, nazism is so un-american uwu

queeranarchism

Hitler praised American immigration restrictions in Mein Kampf. When the nazis wrote the notorious Nuremberg Laws, the centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime, they specifically modelled them after the Jim Crow Laws, the Citizenship Law and the Blood Law of the United States.

Big chunks of the American legal system and history inspired the nazi’s in their organisation of the Holocaust.

That is why you cannot talk about Nazism in The Americas without talking about antiblackness and anti native racism. All that does is absolve the U.S. of the policies it supported (and enforced) by pretending it was purely a foreign invention that they actively tried to resist.
