Ah, the 1930s Germany frame.
But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South.
We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people.
Where do yall think Germany learned from?

Interesting question: if you were living in Germany in the ‘30s in which year would you call it and emigrate?

I haven't said that Ford was a follower, a term that implies more imitation than "big fan".
Feel free to correct me, but don't be lazy about it.
Secondly, you're the one who sought to correct me, so do it without being lazy about it.
Happy Nagging.
One lesson: The earlier there’s fierce, sustained opposition—the better.
and America famously never sent European Jews back to die or anything

Or the history of apartheid states across the South; the Tulsa massacre or the coup in Wilmington don’t get taught in many places.

That said, comparing any genocide to the automated mass murder of the Holocaust is problematic, at best — much less your implication that the USA is carrying out such a program now.
We could have horrific genocide but because it looks different, ppl will live through it and deny it
Everybody MUST read "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson. Each chapter is a horrific but necessary lesson in how we got here.
He liked the immigration act of 1924 so much that he used similar language about the Slavs as justification for why Germany needed to expand east

Now is the time we must come together regardless of our ethnic or racial backgrounds. Scholars such as Ruth Ben-Guiat have stated that it is massive broad-based coalitions that are successful in beating authoritarianism. In building such a movement, we must see the humanity in each other.
Leaving has risks too. Not if you’re Jewish or another targeted group. But for the mainstream, it isn’t obvious
fckn helicopters almost 24/7 circling the area, no peace, it pisses me off
'this is my new report. It's all about the glorious massacres white people in the us did.'

Honestly thanks for pointing more out.
"Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law" (2017) by James Q. Whitman.
Nazi lawmakers saw the United States' "Jim Crow" laws as a model and blueprint from which to build Nazi race law!
Egan's book should be made into a movie.
My opinion is WWII veterans, starting with Truman when he desegregated the armed forces, finally saw the plank in our own eye. The anti-discrimination laws of the 1950s and 60s would not have happened without WWII. And that opened the door to so much more.
