It’s one of those little things that irks me so much. I remember reading something about how the reparations germany had to pay were not at all excessive (especially when compared to other wars at the time).
Someone brought it up, so naturally, I’d like to counter it.
Good answer. The system was falling apart for many reasons, just like today.
A point I find interesting is that not all fascism was so completely reliant on race science and extermination. Nazism really was “Fascism with American/Anglo characteristics”.
I think we do ourselves a huge disservice when we define fascism as racism and genocide at scale. This allows the interests of capital to shift us ever closer to fascism (in the original economic sense) while most people are entirely unaware, as the overtly evil elements we have been taught to associate with Nazi fascism either don’t exist (yet) or are done more quietly and under more acceptable names.

Nazi Germany didn’t only oppress through Race; Nazis also oppressed demographics through Psychiatry.
Aspergers syndrome is a psychiatric
diagnosissublabel (remember, no objective testing is used here or in Autism… or in any psychiatric diagnosis) of Autism created by Hans Asperger, a Nazi collaborator. It was a “high functioning”.“High functioning” autism was given to children if they acted weird but could speak or write. Hans referred children who could speak or do stuff as “high functioning”. Children who didn’t fit this were given “low functioning” autism and sent to Nazi clinics to be murdered.
Yeah, and sexuality as well.
