I've been thinking about what I call "America's German Dilemma" lately, too. You draw out the parallels and sticking points perfectly.

This confirms my thesis that we seem to import the cultures that we conquer, and wind up vanquished by them later in our own countries. In our case, we appear to have imported a warty facsimile of Weimar German, from its school system to its decadence, and are saddled with all the accompanying psychoses as a result.

To add to your comparison with another analogy, in our domestic reenactment of Germany's 'troubles,' the average American citizen is cast as the selfish NAZI anti-vaxxer standing against the noble Allies' benign attempts to "save" us from the COVID invasion. Also, the more we oppose the Cathedral's obscure agenda items, such as its taxes on energy, insurance mandates and not-so-subtle inflationary "theft" of our savings, the more we should expect the media organs to resurrect the old, stale propaganda that we deployed against Germany in WWII, and to sling it inwards at Americans.

Remember, Hillary swung that rancid cod at Trump in 2016. And it still worked!

It's been over 70 years since VE Day, and a "nice" medical tyranny presides over America, and it is the regular, skeptical citizens that are the new Jews, and that must suffer the cruel insult of being cast by Vichy corporate media as selfish NAZI-like denial-ists for their "obstinance."

In short, We Are All Germans Now. And more parallels early 1900's Atlanticists' messes will become apparent in the months ahead. That is, unless we're back at War with Russia over Ukraine, and there's no oxygen left for the deeper discussions. And that, my friends, will be another parallel to marvel at.

Excellent analysis. Sadly the historical comparisons become clearer.

First time I've ever seen someone using "Nazi" properly!

There is no "we." Why would Americans, Russians and, for that matter, Ukranians, be responsible for the action of their governments? Even if there were any "fair" elections (which never existed), why would the voice of a moronic majority condemn the minority?

The bankers' shills/slaves are responsible; the rest of us are "only" humans! OK, so there is a "we," after all.
