American society Quote by Dinesh D'Souza
““As he thought about these problems, Hitler’s attention was turned to America. Hitler didn’t know a lot about America. He had never been to America. And he despised America. “My feelings against Americanism,” he later said in 1942, “are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance.” Why? He claimed, “Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaised and the other half negrified.” Moreover, America is “a country where everything is built on the dollar.” For Hitler, America represented the worst case of unrestricted Jewish capitalism.3””
