How nationalistic do you have to be to believe there aren't Russian or Chinese tech forums?
America had an amazing run 1950-2000, comparable or even superior to the miraculous breakthroughs which happened in Germany from 1900-1945, that didn't make Germany above reproach, in fact it confused the moral with the technical, which you are doing right now.
Fascist.
