It's funny and terrifying at the same time to see the US Empire crumbling in real time.

Americans have been fucked from the start, Hitler talked a lot about how he was inspired by Americans way of treating colored people.
Then they beat Hitler, but took all his scientists. They included rocket builders, but they also included political science and propagandistists.
The Nazis literally rebuilt in America, and took 71 years to show the people they were there, and 85 years to gain control of the largest military in the world.
Then they had an interesting civil liberties fight for less than a decade, before the Nazi republicans just started the war on drugs as a way of shutting them down and arrested / killed everyone involved.
I simply don't trust Americans to fix this problem themselves. It is my dire belief that the entire world will have to invade America, like we did with Germany.
Ooh, those Nazis, taking over America and doing such horrible things as...
the Civil Rights Movement...?
More like assassinating Martin Luther King Jr.
And no, obviously i am not saying that the political scientists and propogandists were doing this, they were old as shit when that happened.
But they helped other people spread the same ideology, do you think Americans weren't racist while the civil rights movement needed to be a thing?
It got stopped though, by who?
I realize that I'm not going to leave a single dent in 57 years of conspiracy theories by saying this, but
It wouldn't require government intervention to create opposition to the civil rights movement, they were more common than MAGAts.
The government targeting the icon for peaceful nonviolent approach would certainly be an unusual play to make.
The opposition to civil rights in the federal government was the majority party, and the passing of the Civil Rights Act was bipartisan.
James Earl Ray, past crimes included Burglary, Armed Robbery, Mail Fraud (stealing checks in the mail), and Armed Robbery Again before escaping prison from 1967 to 1969 before being caught in London, during which time he traveled many states but eventually wound up in LA where he worked and frequently visited the George Wallace headquarters, Wallace being a Segregationist politician and presidential candidate. Ray was renting a room across the street from MLK Jr's place of assassination and fled shortly thereafter.
I am not saying the government killed him directly, but i definitely think that the Nazis had a role to play in the American propoganda machine, that helped racism grow back to its glory days.
