i won't deny that Nazi Germany was the worst. I'm not trying to downplay them. just what they did was what Europe has been doing and was currently doing to the rest of the world. Not sure if that counts as the imperial boomerang. but it's similar. Europe spent centuries colonizing and conducting ethnic cleansings and genocides whenever it pleased, until one European nation decided to do that to Europe.
Fascism was definitely a form of the imperial boomerang, when the colonial government abuse and absolute power it held in the colonial perifery was imported into the nation proper.
I have family that escaped Poland who told me all my family that stayed where killed. But we shouldn't let history white wash the rest of Europe either.
