CMV: Schools in America don't teach what the Nazis actually believed.

I went to high school in America. We learned about the holocaust, we learned about Kristallnacht, we learned about the night of the long knives, we learned that the Nazis hated Jewish people, we learned that they believed they had been stabbed in the back by as part of their national belief. We never had a deeper lesson on it. We were explicitly not taught the part about the Nazis targeting socialists first and that part was changed in our curriculum. Beyond that we never took a look at the actual speeches, and rhetorical points the Nazis were arguing over in context.

We didn't learn about Nazi expansion in the context of the age of colonialism. It was taught as a unique evil and not something every empire in the world was doing to people they viewed as inferior.

We did not learn about Nazi Scientism and that informing how they systematically killed all people they viewed as a detriment to creating their perfect man.

We did not learn about the Nazis obsession with degeneracy.

We did not learn the full depth of Nazi conspiracism.

We were taught a Saturday Morning cartoon version of "The Nazis were bad because they waged war and hated Jews" that makes doesn't properly dissect the Nazi ideology to expose why it is Anti-Human.

Edit: Changed racial hygiene to scientism for clarity on what I'm talking about.

Edit 2: I'm going to further clarify. I was taught about every single step of the Holocaust. From the treaty of Versaille, to the stab in the back myth. (By the way, your high school doesn't teach you that the reason why that was culturally relevant to German speakers specifically is that it was allusion to Der Ring des Nibelungen, In which the invincible Siegfried was betrayed and stabbed in the back.) I was taught that the Nazis believed in a master race and they viewed Jews, gays, and homosexuals as inferior, and polluting German blood. We even read the protocols of the elder of zion I was taught that they believed that in order to be self-sufficient they needed lebensraum in order to be self sufficient. I even made the comparison to manifest destiny in class.I was taught they they fractured political opponents and got rid of them one-by-one to consolidate power. I was taught about the Nuremberg laws, Nazi blood quantums.

This is specifically what I'm calling out when I say the education that people receive on the Nazis is insufficient.

Anything that has to do with the process, "Reichstag fire/ night of the long knives/ kristallnacht/ baban yar massacre/ racial theories, handing Hitler the chancellorship" Is insufficient.

When I say, "Oh what do you mean, we learned the Nazis believed group X was "degenerate" "This is what I'm talking about as being insufficient. I am talking about "Degeneracy" as a concept.

The core of Nazism is conspiracism/scientism/ and degeneracy. With few exceptions everytime someone in this thread as said, "We learned what the Nazis BELIEVED" they end up tell me what the Nazis DID. Two entirely different things.
