Incredibly, German nazis found some of the US laws to be too extreme:
Moyers: Bilbo said, βOne drop of Negro blood placed in the veins of the purest Caucasian destroys the inventive genius of his mind and palsies his creative faculty.β Is it true that the Nazis thought the one-drop rule too extreme?
Whitman: They did indeed. They never proposed anything nearly as extreme as the one-drop rule. In fact the standard, the most far-reaching Nazi definitions of who counted as a Jew, matched the least far-reaching ones to be found in the American states.
Wait till you find out what nazi Germany was modelled on.

The notion of dictatorship in a sense of a single person running things is deeply unserious. As Anna Louise Strong puts it in This Soviet World:

The whole notion of dismissing information because it's from a state media source is so bonkers. You don't have to accept their framing, and you can go look up other sources to get different perspectives on a particular piece of news. The reality is that any outlet will have its own biases and leanings. That doesn't mean the news it reports should be discarded out of hand. I read mainstream western media every day, yet I hardly agree with any of their opinions.
bye lib

I recall watching an interview with Jacques Baud, who was a colonel in Swiss intelligence, and he pointed out that Russian propaganda works in support of material reality where western propaganda tries to invent a whole alternate reality.
