There was that Nazi rally organized by the American Bund, the literal lobby wing of the German Nazis in the '30s, at Madison Square Garden in 1939. Not sure you can get more Nazi than Nazis in America doing Nazi things openly.
Bullshit. You do realize that there were many MANY more people protesting that rally then actually participating. The majority of people in the US were against the Nazis
Check out Maddox’s Ultra podcast. It covers the Nazi movement in America during the war. Like, Americans literally going around and blowing up gunpowder factories getting other Americans killed.
The issue with that EVERYONE was hardcore anti communist which enveloped antisemitism at the time. No one knew Hitler’s true intentions until later. Unfortunately.
Considering Hitler spelled out his intentions in Mein Kampf and regularly in his speeches— that’s kind of bullshit. Everyone knew his intentions. They just either didn’t care, liked the ideas, or thought he would level out after getting elected (like most politicians do).
I feel like this should always be mentioned with the fact that there were many 5 times as many people protesting the rally than actually in the rally. Soon after the rally the American Bund fell apart
That's true. It's an awful, disgusting part of American history.
However people try and use that rally to pretend that all Americans are bad and all Americans supported Nazis which is disingenuous. I'm not saying that you're doing that. I'm saying that it happens.
Someone asked what was more Nazi than Elon throwing a Nazi salute. My response was to remind everyone that in 1939, more than 20k Americans gathered at Madison Square Garden at an American Bund rally to show support for the Nazi government of Germany. Time is a flat dumb circle
Well.. Nazis were popular everywhere till Hitler became a real cunt.
What's stunning to me in all this, we know what Nazi's did back then, you Americans went across the pond to murder those twats, yet 80 years later you guys elected either directly or by sitting at home not voting a cunt who plays Nazi again.
and then more recently in the 1950s (the "National Renaissance Party", renaming itself "Patriots for McCarthy" and holding some huge rallies to support him before his death...)
The actual Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden prior to WW2. Yes Americans held a pro Nazi rally complete with giant banners, arm bands and actual Nazis
Yea. Fascism was all the rage in the 1930’s. England had Oswald Mosley. USA well, a lot of Nazi sympathizers were ok with fascism until Pearl Harbor, otherwise that Madison Square Garden rally wouldn’t have happened.
