Shoutout to my conservative US history teacher who was the first teacher I’ve ever had that showed us the propaganda. He walked us through it, he explained why it worked, and he warned us about this very thing. He taught us how to spot that language in every piece of media we consumed and I am forever grateful to that man. Bro likely saved hundreds of kids from the alt-right pipeline.
The anti semitism was built upon deep rooted anti semitism already in Europe at the time. Same with anti communist sentiment. It’s why Germany were able to create so many SS divisions of foreigners from across Europe. From French, Norwegian, Latvian, Bosnian Muslims, Ukrainians, even Arabs and Indians. The Nazis then created incentives for genocide. Taking Jewish property, food being stolen from Slavic farmers etc. eventually the need to hide things disappears when enough people are tied to it.
The Nazis could promise liberation for ethnic groups from oppression of the Soviets. Decolonization from the British and French empires. The Nazis didn’t build the foundation for these things the hatred was already there they promised benefits and change which is what many people needed
