Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

Denazification went beyond that. The former nazis never changed their ideals but after they died out so did any possibility of a NSDAP resurgence. No Hitler monuments, nor monuments commemorating former Wehrmacht officers (except for Rommel and Stauffenberg) and complete demonization of the Dritte Reich unlike the romanticization of the Confederacy in the American South

Denazification was always a surface level attempt. Until the Cold War broke out which let it end by both german sides.
Almost all cheated the "denzifaction" like "I never saw/heard/knew anything". "It was a job, I had no clue where the rockets had fallen!" and so on. Yes, they died out in silence. Maybe I simply have no clue about the aftermath of the american civil war. They still celeberated it despite losing it? I mean, we watched birth of a nation. It's pure sneed.

Yeah, I know the former NSDAP members, Wehrmacht and SS officers just pretended they knew nothing and shut their mouths. I was referring to cultural shift. The German boomers were raised in the new system that looked down upon National-socialism and displayed the extent of their crimes. Present-day Germany has rightoids but actual Nazis as completely dead as a movement.
The American South glorified the confederacy for over a century, the Lost Cause myth and all that, the stuff we saw in Birth of a Nation was the kind of cope they actually believed for generations after the war.

Mostly, but the problem is like everywhere: Eetards are romanticizing the past, even smart people do this shit from time to time. We have no full nazi potential, despite the growing (far)right but our politicians are very deaf to the huge migration problems we attend now. And that's where all the "Hitlur dindu nothings" are hijacking it. Its so fricking tiresome

It's truly amazing how many countries have this, where you're never supposed to talk about immigration and it's so important that all of the sane parties have self destructed over it. They would rather lose the election to anybody instead of changing their minds.

In their message its different. Nearly every mainstream party beside greens and leftoids talked about clamping it down. But all the years NONE of them did anything substantial to what they say, even the conservitards. That's why far rightoids gained a ton of traction here.

In America the Republicans always whine about it, but whenever they're in power they mysteriously start talking about walls, like they're talking to r-slurs with a mental age of 8. (Typical Republican voters.)
They will never prosecute anyone employs illegals. Because all of their donors do this. The MAGAtards are the worst about this. "Yeah I'm actually racist and hate brown people, but don't take away the ones doing my lawn and cutting up chicken in meatpacking plants."
Which is hilarious because in 20th century America mowing your lawn was a symbol of you being a normal middle class Christian who kept up appearances. Now the "Christian" South has turned this into a way to show off that people work for you.

So DDRcels believe the โcommies were akshually based and tradโ thing?
How tiresome are the eastlings?

I meant r-slurs but i came off as eastards. Same shit
I don't think east germans are tiresome, have some connections there and drove there from time to time. But its mostly more of a lefty circle.
I think only boomer tier tards want the DDR back, and even there they're probably a minority. Leftoids are smart enough to agree that the DDR was a totalitarian state. Capitalism (and historical Jews) still bad

They should have been given reservations to practice their own tribal culture, like other victims of American Imperialism.

Not if you wanted a somewhat unified nation. Go too far with that you either have to exterminate the population or deal with permanent insurrection and guerrilla warfare/terrorism in that area.

OMG! Dixie Isis

Nah likely just near permanent regional instability and hostility. Robberies, skirmishes, small
scale 
infrastructure damage. You see a bit of this already with Wild West outlaws (many were ex-confederate soldiers)

Probably a much more violent and influential version of the Klan as well.
Is not like the yankees were in love with the darkies

Yankees were very much in love with the darkies at the time. Like literally in "Kingdom Coming".
The danger was this would turn into a really weird race war with blacks supported by Northern whites killing off all the Southerners. You see a taste of this in the trans-Mississippi and the western theater in 1864-1865. Like look up the dialogue between Forrest and Canby when Canby is saying "I didn't tell my black troops to stop taking prisoners, I just totally supported them when they decided to."

I think
there'd be that too I guess 
but it'd be likely more of a sideshow to guerrilla campaigns done by ex-confederates.
