Subject: Re: How Do We Resist The Corrupted....
And one citation I can't give is that I have forgotten more about WWII (and the lead-up to it) than most people will ever know. It was a hobby of mine when I was younger. I read about it voraciously. When I had to do book reports, I made them books about the War as much as I could. The wiki is correct, Dr Dope1 is wrong.

I still have a lot of my books. Like the entire Time/Life series about WWII. Prelude to War covers Mussolini, and the rise of fascism, and it's morphing into Nazism (which it considers related, but distinct from fascism because of the Nordic/Aryan mythos around Hitler). I just pulled it out and skimmed the bits about Mussolini in particular.

Super. I didn't like history when I was younger - I was probably ADHD and didn't know it, liked math, B student overall in High School. In the Philippines I joined a FB group on the Phil Am war and found I could enjoy it, but I still only got partway through a book on it. I mostly read articles, looked at photos, and watched debates. And these were real historians, who had copies of the original materials on their computers. They spent two years posting photos and debating the war. I learned a lot and the USA was accused of a lot of things, and we did do some things, but get accused of a lot more.
