If we’re comparing Nazis, can we include both sides of the Atlantic?

I wasn't comparing Nazis but the reality. Maybe that's your narrative

  I thought you were comping 1930s politics to current events. I’m saying that your comment broadly works when you compare current US politics to 1930s German politics (nuclear policy aside).

    I think you need to go back to school and learn history before labeling everything which goes against your belief as Fascism. What happened in 1930s Germany is absolutely not what is happening in US right now. US is still a democracy whether you like it or not.

  You could change Germany for USA in your comment and it would be mostly correct too.

    No it's not. Learn the actual history before you make vague comparisons.

      It works just fine or is USA not having a war right now, arming like crazy and want to fight for lebensraum with China, while also having meager real economy output? I guess you should learn more about history ;)

        "meager real economy output" what What's the comparison, US is at war so it's like WW2 Germany? Hasn't it been this way since the 1960s?

        All the "growth" is propelled by AI and Finances. USA is very similar to UK and will end up same.

        Profit is profit, and supposedly there's been a tech bubble since 2008. I thought US was supposed to be similar to 1920s Germany here.

  You were comparing to 1920s Germany preparing for war, and it's not about Nazis?? It's not even that I disagree, it's just, you clearly meant this and then acted like someone is silly to interpret it that way.

Why would I care what others do or don't do, know or don't know, like or don't like, when it comes to Germans serving other right-wing extremist Germans talking points and votes on a silver platter, because they cannot be arsed to actually read and take seriously the accounts and warning of historians who lived through those times? I can't even figure what point you think you are making.
