Are we going to ignore that Obama had to campaign while people were hanging likenesses of him as early as 2008? This has been an issue forever in this country because we fucking let Confederates come back into the No pain, no game Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this fold with 0 repercussion. It’s been happening since 1776. Weimar didn’t end when Hitler burned the Reichstag, it’s collapse began the moment it was formed. America, in the same vein, has been dealing with this shit since day 1. It’s only that now, in the same way that it was during the Civil Rights Movement or during the Civil War, that the fundamental issues plaguing our society can’t be ignored anymore and we have to either deal with them or fall into chaos. I’ve got to give credit to my ex-mother-in-law as she absolutely nailed this one. In the run-up to the election, she told me that if a black man was voted in, that nazis would make themselves known. It seems she was off by a few years, but not only are they visible, but they’re out and proud about it at the state government level. I can’t tell you how many arguments I’ve gotten in lately where people are defending them having a platform. As banning them would be breaking free speech.

Funnily enough I’ve indeed seen a lot of German neo-nazis use the No pain, no game Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this (perceived) Confederate flag as a substitute for the Hakenkreuz. There was a shared sense of defeat that the Southern States and the Weimar Republic had after the US Civil War and WW1, respectively. A feeling that they’d been done dirty, power toppled, curtailed, lost their identity and history, in short they shared a “culture of loss”. But whereas the Confederacy was initially accepting of it (afraid of more severe punishment post-war), the NSDAP instead weaponised that sentiment, pointing to rival politicians and other undesirables as the scapegoats who had “sabotaged” the war effort. Surely they would never have lost, superior army and superior humans that they were, were it not for treachery from within dragging them down. And that needed purging. The US South wouldn’t become this bold about erecting statues of their generals and such until loooong after the war. Mostly during the Civil Eights Era, when it was used for an obviously different purpose than portraying history. But I digress. The German feelings were further magnified due to the popularity (even long before WW1) of novels like ‘Gone with the Wind’ and ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’, which depicted the American Slavery system as sympathetic; a cause that shouldn’t have disappeared, a simple life for simple people –something that modern German society lacked. But this is of course a lie by omission, as this depiction never went into the actual cruelties that went on. One could say that the South had a good PR campaign after the US Civil War. This particular pro-slavery culture that blew over to Germany depicted the South as the “Real America” that was lost, and the decline that followed. A window to a lost past they wanted back, even though it never really existed. Germans felt that. But more critically, it introduced the 19th century German public to the idea of “human races”, and that was an important link forged between US culture and Germany.
