There is a potential Hitler in every Westerner. Just look at how they think of the Ukraine war.

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.. And they won't even admit the knife is there."

-- Malcolm X, 1964

My favorite part about the book is that there's an alt-alt-history novel the characters will sometimes read, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy where instead the Allies win the alt-history version of WW2. In the alt-alt-history, after the Allies win they basically do a positive imperialism where they conquer Africa and China, somehow eliminate poverty, spread the New Deal worldwide, then the US and UK get into a cold war that the UK wins.

I took it to mean that PKD thought even in a liberal's wildest imagination, even when under the direct threat of fascism, they'd write a book about how they almost win and then lose.

I made a similar observation several years ago. For the American tribes still present, The Man in the High Castle is a reality for them.

no but I've watched Harry Potter. Expelliarmus! Crypto Patronym! Terra Nullius!

I agree 100% with this comment

I can’t believe people here support the genocide and imperialism Ukraine is doing to the people in the Donbass just because it isn’t America

Thanks for finally saying it, everything that every country ever does is Imperialism! Context? Who cares! The main thing is that since everyone is doing imperialism, everyone is bad. But "we" are doing it less badly than them, which makes them worse, so lets talk about "them" more than ourselves, I think thats fair!

This is sarcasm.
