    Yes, but they said my race is the best and I haven’t accomplished anything significant, so taking credit for the accomplishments of others while pretending that my failure is other people’s fault is the only source of pride I have!

      Racial supremacism is for people who don’t have anything better to be proud of than things that happened before they were even born.

      If only it were just the Nazis. The reason white supremacy still has supporters today is because its deeply rooted in modern European history.

      Race‑science, or “scientific racism,” held sway across Europe from the late 18th century through the early 20th century—roughly a span of 150 years before the Nazis seized power in 1933. Enlightenment thinkers such as Johann Friedrich  Blumenbach (1775) classified humanity into distinct “races” based on skull morphology, while Georges‑Cuvier’s comparative anatomy (early 1800s) reinforced hierarchical notions. Throughout the 19th century, Darwinian evolution was co‑opted by figures like Francis Galton, who coined “eugenics” (1883) and promoted hereditary improvement, influencing British, French, and German scholars alike. By the 1890s, racial typologies permeated anthropology, criminology, and public policy, legitimizing colonial domination and anti‑Jewish sentiment.

      The Nazis were simply the culmination of European philosophical and anthropologic brain rot inducing hatred at that time. That rot still festers.

    I started playing The New Collosus recently and one of the very first cutscenes was impossible to pay attention to the dialogue becsuse in the background there’s just a steady stream of nazi fucks wandering into a trap and turning into gibs. 🤣

    We can joke about my punk rocker stage lasting longer than the Confederacy, and it did, but I’d argue the Civil War was the most significant bit of US history, maybe only behind WWII.

      Sure, nothing wrong with being a civil war buff. But someone failed history class if the confederacy is their favorite civilization for some reason.
