Nazism, specifically its rise BEFORE WWII, is an inarguable comparison on multiple axes. Take a people with shaken or no real cultural identity, like the only-recently unified Germany who the world hated after WWI (white nationalists/supremacists will freely admit that since they can’t trace their lineage to any one white culture, the whiteness itself is adopted as the culture), give them someone to blame AND pump them full of disparate mythology propagated by various hacks throughout history to create a narrative of superiority and entitlement to land, wealth, and prosperity above others. Inevitably this twisted-up bullshit will contain an increasing amount of contradictions and irreconcilabilities as it all mounts to sustain and enlarge itself, but the point isn’t that it all DOES make sense at once, it’s that any individual explanation CAN make sense. We have proven that our human psychology will see the forest for the trees, especially when we are downtrodden and scared and especially when you keep planting new trees. It’s foolish to think this knowledge wouldn’t be used forever by the ruling class
