Whilst I do partly agree with your comment from a very existentialist viewpoint[1]. This has to be the worst comment I've seen on HN.
[1] Yes, there would be a big difference to living under Nazi control or not. Whether we would know, or care, is another matter. Homosexuality and Judaism would surely be non-existent, but would that bother us if everything around us is 'Nazi' and the very idea of Judaism or Homosexuality didn't exist? Much like most peoples attitudes towards witchcraft. We are all a product of our society.

Kind sir, we appear to have run out of Nazi extermination camps. However, I invite you to book a one-way trip to North Korea. I hear their concentration camps are wonderful this time of the year.

And how did NK end up being that crazy? USA.

"As a result, almost every substantial building in North Korea was destroyed."

How do destroyed buildings lead to such craziness?

It's not just "destroyed buildings", like in a few military bases here and there. Read again.

I guess taking on that quote was a pot-shot. And, yes, the US have a role to play in North Korea. After all the Kims, at least initially, built their reputation in Korea on fighting the Americans.

Have you ever been to Tokyo? Craziness everywhere!
You are implying that there was a good vs evil paradigm with WWII which is completely a USA fallacy.
Both sides were being funded by the central banking cartel. Do you actually think there would be any difference if you were living under Nazi control or not?
Look at all the astroturfing of the phrase "6 million Jews" in WWI before Hitler even came in to power.
