American right wingers tend to believe that the last ten years of sociological change constitute a sharp break from American moral and political history. They believe that America always stood for the good, the right, the true, and that only since, perhaps 2002, has America started its descent into communist, anti-American blood lust. A particularly heavy-dosed, red pilled American might think that the trend towards communist transgenderism started in the 1960s and the college “Free Speech Movement”, but history suggests that the leadership of the United States has been on the side of communist totalitarianism since at least as early as WWII.
Christopher Clark’s The Rise and Downfall of Prussia offers some interesting insight into the American approach to Prussia and the Prussian people, following the end of WWII. It should be noted this is not America’s approach to Nazis or to Nazi leadership or to the Nazi military apparatus, but to the entire nation of Prussia, as such, which had existed since at least as early as 1600, and which had been a victim of European military aggression for the better part of four centuries.
Clark writes:
From the intellectual class to the President, the American regime had decided, quite consciously, to promote Communism (“Bolshevism”) as the ruling social movement and political ethos for Europe. Furthermore, there goal was not just to shift Prussian power and authority, but to stamp Prussianism out of existence. Note that the goal was not to stop Nazism or to rid the German ethos of Nazism. Rather, Americans set out after Prussianism, which had been the dominant ethos of a substantial part of the German people for nearly 400 years. The American communists set out using tactics which are not unfamiliar to the American people today. A bombing campaign was unleashed that focused on destroying the historical landmarks of the Prussian people.
The Allies were determined to destroy Prussian self-esteem and demoralize the Prussian people such that not even their victories against what were clearly foreign aggressors could be remembered.
In short, the nation that had built Europe, helped stopped Napoleon, forged itself out of nothing but its own will and determination, was erased from the history books and burned from the consciousness of its own people by the Americans and their Allies. This was done with the full knowledge and total conviction that doing so would surrender Germany and the European people to the Bolsheviks and the Communists. So why did they do this if they were only begrudgingly sided with the Soviet Communists to stop what was a uniquely dangerous threat — Nazism? And, if the threat was Nazism, why did their campaign to neuter Germany focus on all things Prussian, which had been an equal on the international stage of geopolitics for over four centuries?
