NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.

Is that really so far off though?

Get bent you fucking Nazi shitbag

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 50 points 4 days ago

Read a fucking history book

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 82 points 4 days ago

Yes, unless you ask a fucking idiot.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 64 points 4 days ago

If by evolution you mean “created to oppose” then yes. The question is what global organization will be created to fight against the evil of Trump and Putin.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 35 points 4 days ago

Average technocrit ragebait. Yawn.

[-] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

Yes, very far off.

Not really. NATO had many ex top Nazis at the helm directly after world war 2. The line between Nazi Germany and NATO is very straight.

One of the most notable being top Nazi Adolf Heusinger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger

Where the other guy went wrong is thinking that anyone opposing NATO in this case Russia suddenly becomes objectively good.

Well just because there are nazis dudes in an organization does not make it nazi itself. After the collapse of fascism, a lot of fascists kept or acquired important roles, there were nazi cunts in french administration, and i dont think it made the administration automatically nazi.

Since NATO was not iniated by nazis, nor by Germany, and has no nazi goals, i'm not sure if we can say that the line between Nazi Germany is very straight. It exists sure, but it's probably not straight and certainly quite thin.

Wait til 'e hears about NASA. 🫢

When the top of the organisation is a Nazi it sounds pretty Nazi to me.

Combined with the NATO genocides in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Palestine and more, it is obvious NATO is led by "Ubermenschen."

But hey. The truth is very inconvenient.

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 34 points 4 days ago

The truth is complicated not inconvenient. Is NASA a Nazi organization? Are we not going to use rockets because it is Nazi tech?

What about NATO today is Nazi. What was Nazi about NATO then?

You're being obtuse and intentionally a fool. Knock it off.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

NASA hiring a ton of Nazis is not the win you think it is. Yes the West did not abolish Nazism. Churchill was a massive anti semite and white surpremacist. They mostly fought the Nazis because Hitler was about to steal their power. Not because of conflicting ideals.

Try harder to not answer the question. You can't

[-] Waphles@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

The guy who was involved in the plot to assasinate Hitler?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Who vehemetly denied being involved in that plot, was cleared by the German secret service for not being involved and was praised by Hitler for his autobiography?

[-] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 18 points 4 days ago

I mean look nazis are bad but if we look at De-Ba'athification in Iraq things didn’t turn out so well.

As far as I can tell is Heusinger guy was a career military officer, for the Imperial German army, the Weimer rupublic, Nazi Germany, and Post war Germany. So sure we can he should have defected from the Nazis but he wasn’t exactly a brown shirt either.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Heusinger was a top ranking Nazi which served in the atrocities and genocide against the Soviet Union.

Calling this a "career military officer" is extreme Nazi glorification.
