The right wing activist and convicted felon's gesture was identical to the one Musk made at Donald Trump's inauguration The post Steve Bannon Gives Apparent Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech, Mirroring Elon Musk | Video appeared first on TheWrap.
Let me make sure I got your argument correct before we continue. You’re arguing that the country that didn’t even desegregate their schools a hundred years ago had “pretty minor” support for white supremacists even before they were literally forced by the military under a progressive president to allow black people to attend their schools, because only 20,000 people attended one nazi rally in the time before the internet or interstate system, when word spread by mouth or by local newspaper.
That’s some straight up white historical revisionism.
If you were actually interested in the truth, which I very highly doubt you are, because Americans tend to suppress any criticism of their historical racism, I would suggest you read Hitler’s American Friends: The Third Reich’s Supporters in the United States by Bradley Hart. The American history with and love of nazism is glossed over or often ignored, because the whole idea of the grand stand against fascism is the greatest story we tell ourselves. It’s mostly propaganda, and people like you go along with it because it makes you uncomfortable to address the fact that the US would have willingly joined the nazis if it weren’t for the president standing in the way of things.

People like Bradley Hart write books like that as a cautionary tale. People like you just abuse any chance you get to shit on America.
There’s better unethical stuff in South America. You should spend your efforts there.
“Better unethical stuff” than nazism? I see, so you’re that sort of person.
And you’re the sort of person to call me a Nazi at the slightest provocation.
I didn’t call you a Nazi. The implication was, you were a liberal. Fascism has historically not been much of a threat or concern for you lot.
Which is why the US and Europe is in the predicament they’re in.
