_Sigh_ Would a “nuanced” view of Nazis as a scary example of cultish groupthink be a good lesson for high school students? Sure, if carefully presented. But not like this, you dingus. You wiped out any opportunity to present that idea with your rambling nonsense. ---

I don’t think that Zion in Zionsville is at all related to Judaism. My tiny home town has a “Zion Lutheran Church” (along with two other Lutheran churches (splitter!), the Methodists and the Catholics), and the first person I met who I knew was Jewish was when I started working. Zionist is Jewish, Zion in my experience is very much a conservative/evangelical word. ---

Not unlike the NAZIs, the American neo-conservatives (sometimes referred to here as the “White Wing”) seeks to have a nation full of people who thimk/act like them. Diversity is a double-plus-ungood thing, and people not like us must be severely marginalized until they become like us.
