“Alt-Right aren’t Neo-Nazis because it’s not just about white supremacy”

Nazis weren’t just about white supremacy either. They were about controlling women, return to cultural traditionalism, homophobia (the gay community had reached record heights in Germany, making identification that much easier), and “law and order”.

Everything the alt-right stands for

is the Nazi line.

No really. Berlin in the 1910’s up before they took power. Had a THRIVING gay community. Much like how some think of San Francisco today. Germany was also at the time up front with academic education and research that helped normalize and validate all queer people, including trans people and coining terms that while not really used today was really helpful at the time and did NOT classify anything as any form of illness.

And it was such kind of private research institute in Berlin “Der Institut für Sexualwissenschaft” that was one of the main targets of the mass book burning in 1933 where archives, files and papers were burned on the street and the institute permanently shut down.

And yes this acceptance where there was actually a free and relatively safe and open gay community at that time was blamed on Jewish people by Hitler himself unsurprisingly.

Do not let history fool you into thinking that long ago we had absolutely nothing. It was violently taken from us and pushed us far back and I beg for it to not happen again.

Before the Taliban, women in Afghanistan had college degrees and published international papers.

There are Japanese Americans living now who were tossed illegally into internment camps on American soil.

There is no “it can’t happen here.” There just isn’t. It always can, if we sit back and let it.
