During the Nazis' ascent to power, some Jewish organizations, such as the
Association of German National Jews and The German Vanguard supported nazism
until being outlawed in late 1935. Motivated by anticommunism, conservative
nationalism, Zionism, and anti-liberalism, these groups had initially believed
that Nazi antisemitism was merely rhetorical hyperbole or a tactic to "stir
up the masses".
The founder of Hindu nationalism, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883-1966), took a
decidedly amoral approach to politics. National sovereignty was his secular
altar. Whether this was arrived at through the politics of class, populism,
race, or religion was irrelevant. It was unity in political action that mattered
and the ends justified the means. Savarkar commended Hitler for unapologetically
representing the cultural and racial solidarity which had ostensibly prompted
the country’s 1870-1 unification. If Jewish culture was imagined as
undermining this, then for Savarkar, German antisemitism was simply an outcome
of natural politics.
And as for the rest.. you can't help some people.

Hey pulse, quick question ... how did it end up turning out for those groups
that supported Hitlers insanity?
Just here to remind you that it's not 1939 anymore and the blacks, legal
immigrants and even gay populations who support Trump not only are openly
accepted but genuinely have nothing to fear from a 2nd Trump presidency, just
like they didn't the 1st time around.
It's only those wanting to vilify the concept of putting America 1st in our own
country that continue to spew the illogical similarities between Trumps policies
and those of Hitler.
And, he's already had 4yrs in office to have done all the horrible acts they
accuse him of being capable of yet surprisingly none of them happened then, nor
are they going to if he's re-elected.
Seems odd to keep pushing Kamalas campaign forward fueled by nothing short of
fear tactics, outright lies and constant disinformation. Anyone thinking that
hot steaming pile of deception is suddenly gonna do a 180 if she gets into
office is simply deluded

Oh, I don't care about any of that.
The point was being made "if Trump is so bad, how come blacks, jews and
hindus are supporting him?" and my point was "that doesn't mean a
fucking thing".
Idiots are everywhere.

None of it means a fucking thing.
That's the point.

Look, history is full of people and groups favoring what harms them or opposing
what helps them.
A previous post pointed out there were Jews in favor of the Nazis, not realizing
they were one of Hitler's targets.
There were black people (Uncle Toms) who didn't want slavery to end, mostly
because they were provided for.
And there were
women opposed to women having the right to vote a bit over a
century ago.
The anti-Covid-vaxers of today have eclipsed the anti-polio-vaxers of the
1950s.
My point is: There are exceptions to every rule, and their curious existance
does NOT negate the validity of the issues.
Seemingly each one of those people speaking in his favor expects to be spared
from what Trump has publicly said about their groups... or them personally.
