This follows the Wannsee Conference of high ranking Nazi officials like Adolf Eichmann and Reinhard Heydrich that gathered to discuss the policy and methodology of the genocide to be. Heydrich in particular, was known to be one of the most dangerous and compassionless officers of the Third Reich, earning him titles like "Butcher", "Hangman", and "The Beast". As they debated on things like the Jewish heredity, departmental affairs, and cost basis, it became personally apparent that the SS think tank was significantly similar to a modern corporate board meeting or a congressional committee. Sure, the topic was gassing Israelites, but with the politick and power plays involved, they could just as easily been talking about industry offshoring or social security. How do you label Nazis as subhuman monstrosities when they resemble the advisory board at Enron, a capitol lobby, or a military tribunal? All of them have a common factor: they unequivocally make the most efficient economic decisions based on the ideological standard of the time. To me, that implies that America is developing fascist aspects and that ethics has long been traded away.
