Interesting, you are the first one to disagree in this way, most comments have been “there Nazis since ages” I do think the facism over there has been brewing for a long time, but the positive references to actual historical Nazis are something they only stated with the newest trump legislation to become mainstream
What I mean is things like elon with his salute, bovin with his coat and trump with his wishes for generals like the ones who served Hitler.

And now they arrived
Well they are still in the first phase “gleichschaltung”
They are consolidating media, institutions etc. Fight opposition, spread fear through things like ice, set the narrative basis to annexing other countries.
They are not yet in the main phase, where opposition is already silenced, protests not happening at all anymore and full on war with their neighbours is raging.
What we are seeing since 2016 is the groundwork, since trump 2 we see them slowly taking of their imperialistic mask and showing their Nazi face, shooting not “only” foreigners but occasionally also citizens.
Still we are not in the fullblown Nazi phase where they are lining up political opponents against a wall and execute them or where they have dedicated facilities for mass murder of citizens.
That’s what I mean by enter.
So Obama for example is a Nazi in your eyes?
I think the differentiation between imperialist, facist and Nazis sharpens your argument. And the positive alignment with the actual historical Nazis is something which only became main stream with trump.

I dont argue against relations, I think differentiation sharpens your argument.
Sure there are relations between Mussolini and Hitler, both are facists, but only Hitler was a Nazi.
There are also relations between capitalism and facism, still they are not the same thing.
(Same goes for left politics, Marx and Stalin where both communists, but a Marxist is still different from a Stalinist)
Maybe I am nitpicking here, but as a German the difference of facists and Nazis is an important one to make. Every Nazi is a facist, not every facist is a Nazi.
Nazis see themself in the tradition of the NSDAP, facists dont necessarily do.
I dont think the biden or Obama administration where in tradition of Hitler, even if there were facist tendencies long ago. I think trump, Vance etc. Are really acting in tradition of the specific German facists, the NSDAP and Hitler.
Do you know me? From where do you get this info?
I live by the principle of “der hauptfeind steht im eigenen land” (the main enemy is in ones own country) Ergo I put my main focus on politics here.
I demonstrate for peace, try to organize people to get off of american platforms, am in an anti-facist organization.
You expect me to fly to the US and demonstrate there? I dont think they would let me in.
MSG seems to be the even better rock
