His sister is the one who most likely suggested KJU to kill their own uncle 7 years ago to consolidate her position. And now she is the vice director of the Politburo and secret police.

CNN reporting Kim Jong Un in "grave danger" after surgery

I don't think eugenics was ever mentioned and Jim Crow was covered maybe briefly?
You're made to believe that black people have failed because of their own doing. Slavery ended 150 years ago, it's not our fault they haven't gotten themselves out of poverty. That's what we're taught.
Oklahoma doesn't even really teach about Tusla, and most states completely skip over the several hundred racial riots that happened in the US or if they do mention them in passing they always frame it as if both sides are to blame.
I don't remember that being taught in high school, specifically the states that still had eugenics laws and the Immigration Act of 1924 that inspired Hitler. I only learned that as an adult on my own. I suppose it could depend on a school by school basis for every state, city, etc. They tend to summarize in broad strokes or gloss over topics I think because they want to teach youth that America 'does no wrong'. Jim Crow though I vaguely recall, my long-term memory isn't great :\.
Other topics though I sought information on my own to learn more, like the Vietnam War, learning the horrible truths around that or hearing MLK's speech "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence" which inspired me to become increasingly anti-war to this day. And today I'm learning what they meant by continuing to be that way has become a lonely moral stance.
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

What is the latest? That South Korea says they can't corroborate?
Curricula differ by state. As a US History teacher we spend a month on Reonstruction/ Jim Crow and Eugenics is discussed here in NYC.
The context is that Boris Johnson, who is wildly unpopular and incredibly conniving went through covid throes and one dude said "This is like Kim Jong Un dying!"
I guess he's saying Kim Jong-Uhn isn't just a brutal dictator but also a father, and friend to people? A fellow human being so we shouldn't wish for anything bad to happen to him.
I'm assuming that's what they're getting at. I've seen a lot of people on twitter take up similar positions on Kim Jong-Uhn
Is this a convenient time for him to die. Nobody has mastered social distancing like the North Koreans.
I was taught about jim crow as a kid from a few teachers but I grew up in GA and some of the teachers did give revisionist history. I learned about our eugenics and treatment if the disabled through other avenues.
I see the American education system needs an overhaul if you're glossing over such important parts in your history, Naziism is reviled in Germany because of the fact that they teach that shameful part of history at their schools.
But Nazi Eugenics were partially funded by Americans and were helped by American Eugenics researchers like Harry Laughlin.
Naziism did share a lot with American views regarding white supremacists back in the day, remember that even after the breakout of WW2 the US did not want to intervene and there was a lot of sympathy for the Nazis among the racists, it took Pearl Harbor to change some views.

Does he have any uncles left or did he have them all murdered?
E: apparently he does still have a brother who he hasn't murdered yet.
No, didn't learn about that till college and in my interest on history
That's not a hot take. Jim Crow disenfranchisement and our eugenics programs acted as inspiration for and a basis of the Nazis' own measures
So did reporting just completely fuck up or is something else going on. I keep seeing the thread title but news ain't matching.

People seem to forget that the Nazis didn't start off with concentration camps. Nazis leading up to WW2 spent a decade working on their craft, and there was no better teacher of society-accepted racist fuckery than the USA.

there's a ton of reporting and just propaganda surrounding NK. hard to know what's true
I don't see anyone arguing against you in this thread. Only people saying that "Hitler learned it from the USA" is not really relevant to humanizing someone so evil. If the point is that the US has it's share of evil leaders and systems - we know.
You could not be more wrong.
The recent return to open fascism caught people off guard because of our horrible education system. Most people have no idea how relatable and amiable the US was to Hitler until we were forced to join the war. We've had the very same arguments about the same things for decades and generations since WWII and we have to relearn it all over because "it can't happen here" in America, even though it already did.
Hell, Hitler though American's implementation of Jim Crow went too far and was too cruel. I feel like noone can have a halfway clear view of this country without understanding these things.
We don't have or didn't have like universal stuff when I was in school. I went to school in PA so we were taught tons of that but I could see how a school in Texas May not
We have states that teach Creationist driven "Intelligent Design" as a viable, alternate theory to evolution in science classes. We have states that teach that the Civil War was because of the aggressive, oppressive Northern states and government being unfair to the poor South through taxes and tariffs and pretty much anything other than slavery.
The dirty little secret is that Eugenics was seen as scientifically sound up until the mid 20th century, despite being a load of horseshit. A whole bunch of other countries had their own programs - not just the US - and lots of notable historical figures enthusiastically supported these programs.
The truth of the matter is that nothing Hitler did came from the ether. There was oodles of precedent for every atrocity his regime committed. He just took it to the next level. And so the Allied nations after WWII collectively decided to pretend that they had nothing to do with any of this, and their own culture of eugenics was quietly filed away in the annals of history despite having played such an enormous role in unprecedented human genocide and suffering across the globe.
Not sure how this thread ended up being about Hitler, but it's clear he drew inspiration from Jim Crow. However, just because he had inspiration from one aspect of the US doesn't mean his entire ideology was based on the US, as his ideology was also fueled by a long legacy of European anti-semitism, the model of Fascism found in Italy at the time, and a larger eugenics movement that was practiced by a variety of countries.
What do you mean by that? If you're implying Hitler was solely inspired by the US then that's factually false
From the start SK said this wasn't true and CNN has walked it back a bit.
The solely word still implies accountability.
What were they saying?
