It was the Department of War when we fought the Nazis and Imperial Germany, who had a lot more goals in common with Nazis than people realize.
This is a nothingburger and people are embarrassing themselves getting distracted from the Epstein files and all the actual fascism.
The german empire had barely anything in common with the nazis. Conquest/imperialism maybe. Authoritarianism and militarism yes. But the core of nazi idiologie, anti semitism and racism and arrian belief olus this occultism, nope
They did have genocide, racism, and antisemitism though.
Authoritarian is a meaningless term.
There is a difference between the society having it and being encouraged by the government and it actively comitting genocide to persue a ethno state
Is there though? If a society is trying to murder every one of a particular race because it thinks its necessary and justified for superior races to dominate lesser races, I'm not sure minute differences in underlying philosophy are all that important, if existant.
