That seems entirely unrelated to anything that I'm saying.
Maybe, if they were extremely disingenuous, one could make the argument that the Autobahn, which is still in use today, Materially improves people's lives, and that this refutes my point that the nazis didn't advocate for the material interests of the German people. Maybe.
But it was also not necessarily built for that. (War production benefits from internal infrastructure as well)
But that doesn't impact the overall character of what I'm saying.
Look, liberals are wrong to support a genocide abroad, full stop. Liberal (and conservative, of course) politicians should face trial at the Hague for war crimes committed.
You (or here, BadEmpanada) don't need to lie about the Nazis to make that comparison.
The end goal of Nazi Germany was to improve the lives of the in-group at the expense of the out group. In America the spoils of imperialism also don't end up in the hands of the peasants. But the peasants will support it as long as the government will give them some treats in exchange.
You should look up what the inspiration was for Nazi Germany.
You're not informed on anything on the subject but you sure like to berate others as if you are. It's hard to discuss with someone who foundationally doesn't understand nor wants to understand the subject. A waste of time indeed.
