Are you seriously going to do this? Or are you going to be a civil, thinking human being? Because here's what you said:

    I seem to remember that at some point in American history there was even a movement in the US to emulate what Hitler was doing.

So for starters, what does "emulate what Hitler was doing" mean to you? Because primarily what Hitler did was nationalize all industries, force ethnic minorities into ghettos and require them to wear identification and violate the Treaty of Versailles. That was before the invasion of Poland, of course. After that all sorts of fun started.

Were there Nazi sympathizers in the US? Yeah. Did they offer full-throated support for all aspects of the Third Reich?

See, this is the part where you could google some shit. You could even find out that the captains of industry who tried to overthrow the government had no real designs on aligning with Germany and that our most outspoken anti-semites were plenty troubling enough without you having to resort to "emulate what Hitler was doing."

Because we didn't.

At all.

And if you thought about it, instead of slinging bullshit LMGTFY links at me to prove your ignorance, you might have learned something.

I'll block you again.

Happily.

All you have to do is continue acting flippantly and insultingly in discussions in which we all deserve better.
