Out of what right wing swamp did this idea come from that the nazis copied America. What a bizarre idea:

it is very well-documented history that nazi approaches and ideologies were based off not just jim crow but other US policies on segregation and discrimination against other minority groups

Not just that, but Hitler quite literally praised America for being the “one true state” that had the level of societal racism he wanted. And upon review of US law, Nazi lawyers considered America’s laws to be “too extreme” to be adopted by the German public. Yes, Nazis thought the US was too extreme. At the time, we had forced sterilization and eugenics-based laws on top of Jim Crow

??? This is a well established historical fact. Americas racial policies towards Native Americans and African Americans are the direct inspiration for the Nazi racial laws that eventually lead to the holocaust.

Where do you think they got the chemical showers from? Dr. Gerhard Peters was a German scientist was a supplier of Zyklon B and encourage Nazis to use it, citing its success in America. America was using “disinfecting practices” on Mexican immigrants, including hydrogen cyanide (Zyklon B). Look up the 1917 Bath Riots. It was some pretty nasty shit

What????? No it didn't. Not at all. There was plenty of anti-semitism in europe. I was not a history but the nazis did their own thing and any inspiration by america was incidental. This reads like American Nazis trying to say yeah we were always the real shit.

There WAS plenty of anti-semitism in Europe, just like how eugenics were also extremely popular in American ideologies circa 1910s-1930s especially. That doesn’t change the fact that they derived a lot of their policies and practices from America at the time

I learned all of this in AP US history in high school back in 2018, in a textbook written in 2005. This stuff isn’t just liberal brainwash blah blah blah, this is actually very well known history for many decades now that the Nazis took a lot of inspiration from American practices

We’re not saying that Americans caused the anti-semitism in Europe. We’re saying that the nazis said “we’re antisemitic, but how do we enforce that into laws
