And every liberator, hero, etc. From George Washington, Napoleon, Martin Luther King Jr., to Stalin. Without the youth, your ideas for good or nil won’t last longer than a single generation.
Stalin was a dictator true but why did people follow him? Yes, he used terror but he also used the threat of outside terror. From the return of the Czar( which were NOT freedom loving regime), to the genocide of Nazi Germany. If the Soviet Union had surrendered in 1941 then good luck in defeating hitler...

That's why in the end there's no hope for America even with the ending the show presented, cuz the next generation, the youth of America was already taken by the Nazi ideology, getting out of the Reich would mean civil war since the new officers and soldiers were raised in the Nazi American regime...

Well since Franklin D. Roosevelt was assassinated before he could take office he never gets a chance to implement the New Deal thus the depression lasts in the United States making the country reluctant to aid the Allies. This leads to a Nazi victory in Europe and Africa and Japanese victory in Asia and the Pacific leading to an invasion of the Mainland U.S. by the Nazis and Japanese
You left out the beginning of this scene, that in my opinion makes the whole thing the best of the show. In the begging of this scene, a Hitler Youth is singing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” a song from the musical Cabaret. In Cabaret we see how the Nazis have grown more popular, beyond what the people accepting their presence expected. There one of the main characters asks “Do you think you can still control them?” Here the same thing happens. The children salute on their own and the parents and adults are shocked and unsure what to do. The kids are lost to the state ideology. All they can do is follow. They no longer control them.
It also foreshadows how it is later with the kids. Using Thomas as an example, a saint I suppose, they become even more radicalized and embrace Nazi culture culminating in the night of Jahr Null when they brazenly burn down Libraries, march in the street and beat people up who try to stop them. Himmler just says to Smith "...let them have their fun...you should have been in Berlin for the Kristallnacht John". There were also brief mentions of children betraying their own families for "wrong thinking" Like when Amy wanted to turn in her Sister.

I remember the first time I saw this scene, very few moments in my life have given me eerie chills and this one made the list. When you really look at what is happening here it makes your skin crawl, You have a boy who was so indoctrinated into the Nazi ideology that he willingly threw away his life because he thought that was all he could do, that he had no other future. Had he chosen to live, no one would know his name, if anything he would be seen as a disgrace, a burden on the state, something broken to be forgotten. Because he chose to just give up and die, something we in the real world would find sad and terrible, here this twisted society sees him as a hero. Thomas is being honored for nothing more than ceasing to exist, not dying nobly in battle, not accomplishing something for the betterment of humanity or contributing to its culture, just for asking to be killed because he was sick. John Smith sees it for what it truly is, a senseless waste of a life, something that should be looked upon with horror and outrage, but sees that it is revered by all around him, that because his son was willing to do this, others may do the same. The State has created a world where life itself holds no value, that you either exist to serve the state, or you don't exist at all.
@@gigachud35 No, it isn't. Modern leftist factions have problems, but equating them with this is absurd. Please leave your echo-chamber and stop making unsupported claims.

@@janus3555 I agree, in a way it is beautiful as well. Thomas did not deserve do die so young, so it's nice that they did something to celebrate his life
Before the war, American school children used this salute to pledge allegiance to the flag. They changed it to the current one after. And swastikas were good luck symbols that were used in post cards.
I found it really interesting how they included George Rockwell in the show. In the show, he is a high ranking, Nazi Official whereas in our timeline he is the founder of the American Nazi Party
@@adalwinschildmacher8509 yeah he was real that why he's wearing a Luftwaffe uniform as he was a Pilot in the US air force before being sacked for his ideology where smith wear a officer Schutzstaffel uniform as he was a officer when the war ended even if he's made up
The depiction of Rockwell was solid and I get why they included him as the top man in the North American Reich as viewers will recognize him as an historical figure associated with American Naziism. However, it is highly unlikely Rockwell would have ascended to such a position. In our world, Rockwell's views were pretty standard white supremacist until well after WWII. He didn't even start picking up Nazi ideas until at least the 1950's.
The Reich Marshall play it well but I think the man who played Amon Goeth in the Schindler's list might've played it better after being praised by directors and Jews saying he really played the part so well.
It’s not that terrifying unless you’re a leftist or have the postwar sentiment ingrained into you. There have been far FAR worse things than the nazis. It just took the near-collapse of Christendom in the West to see anything like it.
It’s sad how people can publicize pain and forget about life and the fact it’s about growing, loving, and learning /: once one loses their meaning in life and forget about walking in purpose, that’s when life truly is lost and deceit and hate take control; love and be happy 😃

From a sister honoring her death brother to a crowd of nazis honoring the Reich. Like, It's a touching scene and I can empathise with the nazis because It's a kid showing love to her brother and I felt that sense of pride toward the country too, but I also feel guilty about It because they're nazis and they're celebrating for a really fucked up reason.
In REAL WORLD this is BS. National-Socialism is about helping people not killing them. The worst that would have happened to him was not being able to have children and that no women would want him.
No. He sacrificed his life to keep the Reich racially pure and uphold the ideology. That was the whole point of the clip. And they honored his sacrifice.
Idk for smith's daughter her action was more based out of love. I doubt either of them wanted their brother to die. However in the moment an action can be misinterpreted by the crowd to mean what isn't intended. For smith's daughters it was about their brother. The kids however, I'm not really sure what's going on in there heads perhaps an ?action of respect for a fellow kid?, for the adult, it was all about propoganda. Then it became that which it was not intended quite quickly.
Oh come on RUclips! Just because I listen to heavy metal, like German culture and my favorite anime is Hellsing, you recommend me this? What am I to you, a skinhead?

Like, It's a touching scene and I can empathise with the nazis because It's a kid showing love to her brother and I felt that sense of pride toward the country too, but I also feel guilty about It because they're nazis and they're celebrating for a really fucked up reason.
In REAL WORLD this is BS. National-Socialism is about helping people not killing them.
The worst that would have happened to him was not being able to have children and that no women would want him.
They were raised in a world run by the nazis . What did you expect ? As messed up as it is , for them it's not only seen as normal , but honorable
George Rockwell didn't talk or look like this at all
I feel like John Smith looks closer to Rockwell
Do they really not realize that he died for nothing? There is literally nothing that he achieved with his sacrifice.
Yes of course
No. He sacrificed his life to keep the Reich racially pure and uphold the ideology. That was the whole point of the clip. And they honored his sacrifice.
@@kilimnataniahu4175 But that's bulshit isn't it
@@mysteriev7071 No. From a nazi point of view it is not. And this is a film about the nazi.
@@kilimnataniahu4175 well of course from the nazi viewpoint it's not. But it's bulshit and death in vein nontheless
Imagine if a stranger walked in on this
The 98 Yr old german janitor who has no idea what's going on: do I do it or not do I do it or not verdammt sei...
All the 'strangers' are dead in this world. There are only Nazis here.
The speech is a lot more shouty than I remember.
each generation under a regime or anything thats a country would be more fanatical and respectful
Idk for smith's daughter her action was more based out of love. I doubt either of them wanted their brother to die. However in the moment an action can be misinterpreted by the crowd to mean what isn't intended. For smith's daughters it was about their brother. The kids however, I'm not really sure what's going on in there heads perhaps an ?action of respect for a fellow kid?, for the adult, it was all about propoganda. Then it became that which it was not intended quite quickly.
Oh come on RUclips! Just because I listen to heavy metal, like German culture and my favorite anime is Hellsing, you recommend me this? What am I to you, a skinhead?
Same
That's offensive towards Skinheads tbf, not all Skinheads are Racist shitbags, just as all Metalheads aren't Satanists ._.
Yes
About time RUclips recommended something for me
Beautiful
GLR was well cast in this, good attention to detail
There was a series that lost its way completely.
damn, 2:41 gave me absolute Chivers, great respect
That was some salute
Why doesn’t the camera man want to film the smith family?
Maybe Rating
That’s because he’d have to turn the camera from the Reich Marshall who was giving a speech, which is kinda disrespectful as the speaker, especially one in so much power shall always get the camera attention when they are speaking.
@Metsarebuff 22 And filming an angry, likely very sad, SS general is a terrible idea.
dang the scene where the kids were the first ones to do the heil genuinely caught me off-guard. This is basically what German kids did during WW2 irl
Reminds me of commercials today talking glowingly of assisted suicide.

Such a frightening dystopia.
Dystopia?

In my redux, the United States is a single-party state ruled by the Silver Legion. The KKK, American Nazi Party, etc. were rolled up under the Legion.
Well, then better keep your Mexico flag.
Beautiful.
I agree!
What season and episode is this from the series?
Season 3 episode 1
Having a show where George Lincoln Rockwell is a main character in any capacity is staggering on its own lmao
Echos of the garden scene in Cabaret. Tomorrow belongs to me. 😕
I love John Smith! He is a good Father and I love his Family ❤🌹
He’s a murderous Nazi
@@slightlyistorical1776 thats the other side of smith :/
@@slightlyistorical1776 I mean sure if we want to keep talking about his virtues.
So powerful
Reminds me of Garma Zabi's funeral
Has anyone seen Kyle yet? I'm going to put up posters in my neighbourhood in case anyone has seen Kyle...
So spooky how they lead so hard with that right hand.
It's not really any different form the black power fist
I enjoy watching these clips because I find the premise both frightening and intriguing. But then I look at the comments and see all these neo-nazis and my mood is ruined.
Same, the videos are cinematic and atmospheric gold, just as frightening as appealing, but the comments of those who want to live in such a world frickin' sickens me.
And I'm like, "Ok, have fun being murdered by Smith then!" 🤷🏻♂️😅😂
All I see are Communists in this comment section, too bad there aren't more based Aryans
@@MrSolus-ls6us they're too busy making Ikea chairs and making RUclips content, you know stuff that really contributes to the rest of humanity. Go sack and terrorize decent folk ya roughhouser. That's what you and the rest of your kind are good at. They're now pacified and made docile. Great thing they lost the last war and the reds raped everything.
I would have loved for the show to stay very much focused on the power struggles between and within the Reich and the JPS instead of the alternate world bullshit
I love this
I would've been proud of my son, and even more proud of he could be honoured like that.
Are you serious mate?
@@David_636 Yes, he is
@@David_636 Of course I am. If I were the boy, I would've done the same thing, no hesitation.
Uhhh what if you had the same medical deficiency he had? It's probably easy for you to sacrifice someone who isn't you even if its your own kid cause you're a psycho Ya probs don't have one actually and thank God for that. Hope your bloodline ends if this cancer idea will live on in you or have a change of heart.
@@europeanpatriot8031 your disgusting you would be proud of your child for volunteering to be euthanized just so he's not a "burden on the state". Your sick and something is seriously wrong with your brain if you think that is morally justifiable.
The last season let the show down especially the ending which made no sense
Just like game of thrones
What are they chanting?
"Seig heil" the standard form of greeting and salute within the reich.
What's with the cocked arm during the salute?
I think it's interesting that Erich Raeder, John's aide, was there, too.
Of course I’ve seen Kyle
What are people yelling at the end? What is it mean?
The saddest thing is knowing that this really happened in the history of humanity, in the great reset I hope humanity ceases to exist.

The description is wrong. This isn't a dystopia, it's an utopia.

@@noaht8592 Image fighting and potentially dying to protect the 1940's America, only to have your people become minorities in their own country in the 2010's.
I'll imagine that most Allied soldiers who fought in WWII, waking up today, would like to be put back down in the ground.
@@europeanpatriot8031 you do realise races are completely arbitrary? Irish and Italian and Greek and Spanish and Slavic and French were all once considered ethnic people in America, yet I can guarantee you have multiple of their blood in your bloodstream, and I can guarantee in incoming decades Hispanics will be seen as as white as Irishmen or Italians. And secondly, who tf cares? Heck probably in a century we might even see middle easterners or east Asians considered white. Like people are starving on the streets and yet you are concerned about your neighbours skin colour?
If you were transported to this world for some reason and had the same condition as Thomas, would you end yourself for fuhrer and nation, you should say yes considering your name. Unless you're only of the talk the talk kind and a coward.
Gamer moment
What they chanted in Europe during the 1940 s
How my funeral better be
I don't see Kyle anywhere so why are they telling us to see him?
Say hi boiiis I'm from south germany
the painting and organization of this probably costed more than if he had to pay the medical bills🥴
Where is Kyle???
What a scene
That scene where his sister and the rest of the hitler youth nazi saluted to the picture of thomas just made me fucking cry. They believe that what he did was a good thing, and the moral option. They're being indoctrinated at such a young age, it's legitimately fucking disgusting. For all the show's flaws, the one thing it always excels at is making your fucking skin crawl.
What if we are the indoctrined ones ? Why it's always the others being indoctrinated ?
@mrsupremegascon are you seriously considering the possibility that the nazis are right? You're on deep water if that's your conclusion bucko
Anybody seen Richie? Anybody know why Richie did Bobby Lupo?
Did the MC say 'Blinken..'?!
Being named after Adraham Lincoln and becoming the arc colbrator
The real smith would have said raised his hand there, so much for the overall narrative.
what episode is this?

3:02 - LOL put on captions and it'll translate into.. "seek help".
Surprised he reached that position with a name like Lincoln
