You’re right, we have failed as a people. nothing good will come of white nationalism. (Look what happened last time around.)

It’s shocking to think that such a death-cult ideology can have a renascence in the very European countries that bore the brunt of the destruction caused by that same ideology a mere 70-80 years ago.

Like Trump and many other autocrats, Hitler wasn’t all that popular with the German people at first. But too few resisted, and it resulted in a global conflagration that consumed at least 80 million lives.
