It's time you knew something
(lemmy.world)
I don't get it?
A lot of Nazis fled to Argentina and Venezuela after WWII.
And a lot more Germans and other Europeans moved there earlier than that in the late 1800s. It's not like they pointed to a random place in the globe to flee to when shit hit the fan. They chose a place where a lot of German speakers already lived.
Those nazis sure know how to think ahead
Brazil too. Hence "The Boys From Brazil" NOT being about football like I thought it would be..
Oh no
Kinda ruined the whole date tbh..
I love how they're called "nazipardos" (brown nazis) by locals and just "browns" by the "whiter" nazis.
For anyone curious, Brazilian nazis are concentrated in the state of Santa Catarina, though unfortunately not limited to it.
Oh
Just check out the newest lineup, the vp, an holocaust denier, fought for years for a permit to visit her childhood hero videla.
Do they play RuneScape for a living now?

For those who don't get it: The joke is that the nazis went to Argentina, which isn't even true it's disinformation peddled by nazis to distract you from the fact they actually went to America. The second half is about the ubermench which only edgy (mentally) 14 year olds would find funny.

Eichmann worked for Mercedes in a plant in Buenos Aires.
Rauff lived under his own name in Chile.
Stangl went to Brazil.
South America was an incredibly common destination for Nazis. Yes, so was the US - typically mid-level or so Nazis with connections that would spy for years before being allowed into the US, a reward for service as it were.
But South America was popular for Nazis who fled, the US was popular with Nazis who surrendered and got put to work.
Not that I agree with the decision but that's not the same thing.
Ah yes all those white people with German names in south america, their grand parents definitely moved there for the scenery.
Some of them are descended from Germans who emigrated in the 19th century, often seeking religious freedom (the same phenomenon gave the US the Amish/Mennonites). There were some weird, purely German cult enclaves in South America by the time Nazi war criminals started looking for boltholes.
Is their new president of such a background? Would be fitting.
Nein, nein, nein. Er ist normaler Kerl.
Oh, wer deutsch kann, kann kein schlechter Mensch sein
I don't think so, but he does pattern his look after the period of the "military junta" so same shit in the end
If he uses tiktok, already knows
Turbina.
