    Yes the US was full of anti-semites, just like Europe. Acting like European antisemitism only reached the point of genocide because of the US is thoroughly dishonest and ignorant.

    The Nazis and their predecessors were pushing anti-Jewish grievances for decades before Ford was around. Europe had pogroms and prejudicial laws against Jewish people for centuries before WW2. They didn’t need help from the US.

      How much was Hitler influenced by Ford? It’s not so much that the United States government did it. It’s that the United States system of capitalism creates individuals like Ford and today Elon musk that spread hatred throughout the world and cause issues down the line. Does that make sense?
