The first concentration camps in nazi Germany opened in 1933

They mostly imprisoned political opponents first.

Hitler only died 12 years later. I recommend doing it about 12 times faster this time around.

The thing is that it took a powerful coalition of countries to actively wage war against him for years for that to happen. I am not seeing anything similar happening here.

This is all on Americans themselves.

Hey, we're working on creating that broad coalition right now! Don't worry, invading Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, Disneyland and MacDonald's Island should help motivate the world! If that doesn't do it, we have plans to bomb China, Australia, Costa Rica, Maine, Disney World, Loompaland, and Imagination Land.

That's imagination island. We want to be accurate in our statements.

Oh man. My kids just corrected me on this. It is imagination land after all. Apologies for my ignorance.

Dude(ette?), with all the shit going on in the real world, it's a minor mistake.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Dude(ette?) with all the shit that's going on in the world it's important to point out when we are wrong. Even when things you think are minor compared to what is happening around you.

How do I defect to McDonald Island?

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

Become one with penguin. And hamberders.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait... It took the rest of the world being against Nazi Germany to stop them. You're not seeing a powerful coalition of countries opposing the US. So... This is all on America? Not sure how you got to that last point.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Nazi Germany didn't have a shitload of nuclear weapons.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I guess that's what happens when you make doomed political choices and threaten annexation while forcing economic warfare on your closest allies.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

But please without dragging the whole world into war with millions killed

[–] match@pawb.social 20 points 10 months ago

Most of them closed before 1935 and then were reopened but worse in 1938ish

True. People tend to forget the settler colonialist aspect of the nazi ideology
