        Honestly I wouldn’t expect Kluxers and normal old world fascists to understand each other. One of them is about race, the other is usually about cultural and ideological divisions. Even if the latter use race as one excuse to murder someone en masse, it’s not the core of their ideology, the core is that they should be able and need to practice to murder someone en masse. While American racists are something extremely weird.

      Holy shit. I’m bad at telling if AI is obvious sometimes. Is this real? It has swastikas (obviously) but it also has the american flag.

      Is this 1930s? Or 2020s?

      God. The fact I even have to ask is in itself a reflection of where we are as a society I guess.

        Very real, as the other comment says. Nazism was big in the US in the yeas before WW2

        Many “great” pictures can be found online

        There was a pro-nazi movement in the U.S. in the 1930’s. They had a nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. The nazis went underground for the most part after the U.S. entered WW2.

        NS Fascism had several ties to the USA, not least Hitler himself admiring and copying tons of ideas. Esp. their Eugenics movement.

        So, what I mean is common roots before 1933 and initially strong support after he got to power.

        I’d like to back this up with a suitable article but I can’t find one rn.
