The vast majority of these people died before the US even conceptually existed.
Germany didn’t write the holocaust out of their history like Americans did.
To mock the line I keep seeing in this thread full of apologists: Nazi Germany wasn’t quite there yet. They would have been as bad as the US if they had time.
Nazi Germany literally modeled their society off of the United States from Jim Crow apartheid to the frontier genocide.
You’re wrong. It’s not a contest. If they had been allowed to ‘let things that happened a hundred years ago fade away’ like they were planning THEN it would be a contest because they would have succeeded in creating a European America.
The project of Nazi Germany is literally the same project as Israel is literally the same project as America
It is exactly one thing: Settler colonialism and the only difference is the conditions of when and where and who. But that only goes as far as the particulars.
That’s what I said, maybe explain that to Dessalines who started this comparison.
There’s a bit of a difference though between settler colonialist states and Nazi Germany. As much as Nazi Germany also sought to colonise towards their east, they also attempted to genocide “undesirables” at an industrialised pace, murdering even ethnic Germans if they had some kind of disability. Racial and genetic purity was paramount to them, to a far greater degree than the US.
Again, none of this is denying the atrocities committed by any of these states.

I think it’s not unreasonable to think that Nazi Germany was worse than the US. Given time, it wouldn’t have even been a contest, absolutely true.
You’re also very right in criticising the US for not properly owning up to their atrocities. Germany has indeed done much better on that front.
