One of the greatest lies we were fed was that the US was ever ideologically opposed to the Nazis. There were lots of Wall St firms/big corps (GM, Standard Oil) at the time that wielded major political influence who were financially linked to and did business w the Nazi regime.
Not to mention all the Nazi-sympathizers among NYC's elite, e.g. Charles Lindbergh. Those in the upper echelons of US finance and nat sec wanted powerful Nazi figures returned to postwar power, to ensure Germany as a strong bulwark against the Soviet Union.
Also let's not forget this fascist coup plotted by Wall St, conveniently swept under the rug of American history

Anyway read The Devil's Chessboard (h/t @Lefty_Jew for the rec!)
Seems also appropriate to point out that the Nazis studied US Jim Crow and immigration laws when forming the blueprint for their own Nuremberg laws (thread here). The Nazis and the US were/are more ideologically aligned than most ppl understand

You can make the claim that those Americans aligning themselves w the Nazis didn’t “love them” and were acting in their business interests. But doing so would involve decoupling racism from capitalism—the latter necessitates unequal differentiation of human value.
