Low effort repost aside.

That hasnt changed if it had it wouldn't be used as a stick to beat people with.

Problem is the definition of nazi has changed due to said stick beating

It did. White supremacy is alive and well in the US. Yes it always existed, but these days Nazis sympathisers can show their allegiance in public. That wasn't the case 20-30 years ago.

I used to think it was better when people are open about ego they are, and it may be; but since campaign cycle of 2015, it seems very much worse.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alive yes.

Well? Fuck no lol. What is your definition of well? You specified the US. What policy,government institutions, organisations,condone white surpremacy? The closest thing you have that promotes white supremacy is critical race theory an idea that white people are inherently superior thus the need to uplift other races. A pretty awful thing to be sure but that is being met with widespread condemnation and active suppression. So another loss for WS.

As for showing their allegiance uh yeah thats always been a thing. You can go back ever further then 30 years when America had an actual nazi party. They didnt get very far cause ya know nazi's

You're proving the point. You're falling for the far right propaganda.

You probably don't even know what critical race theory consists of at all, do you?

Right, I was like “what? Maybe this person doesn’t know what crt is, or misinterpreted what’s s/he’s reading?”

Couldnt resist.

But as for serious answer. The reality of premise posed by the post doesnt exist. People still consider Nazis to be bad. It just in this day and age the label nazi has become watered down and redundant. As for Actual nazi's which the closest we have to are currently North Korean,Chinese and russian governments.

So going by the premise the person thinks nazi's are a problem when chsnces are what he thinks are nazi's arent actual nazi's but people they dont like for reasons that arent nazi related but feels strongly about theu feel the need to make the comparison to poach the anger and concern reserved for that label and place it on their source of hate

Yeah, you're right, White Supremacy, alignment with authoritarian states, open disdain for the law, forcible sterilization of 'inferiors', rhetoric of paranoia and sadistic violence, and literal coup attempts aren't enough, I have to be choking on Zyklon B personally before I can call out Nazis. Very fine people, on both sides.

Being forced by skinheads be a skinhead is no excuse for being a nazi.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're being forced to be a thing then you arent really that thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you are forced to become a nazi, and you become a nazi, then you are a nazi bitch.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why the distinction? Yes if you choose to be a nazi then you're a nazi.

Looking at your drivel on this thread, what mush exists In your noggin?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Clearly the non toxic kind. You should try it sometime or at least take care of your hate boner as for some reason the concept of not being an absoloutist seems to upset you absolutely
