Ehhhhhhhhhh. It's more the picture of Charlie Kirk.
To put this in the context in which I imagine the Right would see it, they don't believe Kirk was a Nazi, that's a slur the Left uses. If someone had a picture of a drag Queen getting shot and had "Pedophile lives don't matter" (common meme on the Right is the lgbtq community are pedophiles etc) on the Left, we'd probably say they want to kill us, even though (hopefully!) none of us identify as pedophiles.
THANK YOU!
Y...You're welcome?
This is the sort of rational and well balanced take that would get you perma'd on reddit.
While this is true, he was an open white supremacist, so, mild nuance.
Still nuance, but mild.
I would take exception to the pedophile accusation too though. Libs of tik tok is a Jewish woman. You'd think she'd want to say, "Im not a nazi either."
Hatred of jews isn't what makes someone a Nazi. That was always more of a Christian thing in Europe. Cult infighting. It's unfortunate that education on the rise of the third reich is so focused on the killing of the jews. Maybe we wouldn't be in this situation today if people actually knew what a Nazi/Fascist is.
Prepending the tweet with "I'm not a Nazi but..." wouldn't make it much better.
Yeah, I guess your right. She may have actually started writing something like that and realized it.
Its not that they dont believe they are NAZIs. They havent fully accepted it yet.
They will or change the meaning of the word NAZI to disqualify themselves.
Just remember, human ingenuity is incredible. Except, its not always used for good.
If it was about Charlie Kirk, just use a picture of Chile Kirk. Why would they chose the one that says "Nazi Lives Don't Matter"? They're either inattentive or they want to enforce the connection.
He wasn't a Nazi, but he was a fascist agitator. All Nazis are fascists, not all fascists are Nazis.
The Nazis were very much into public works projects and pretending to be socialist, both of which are anathema to contemporary American fascists.
I think you're missing the main parts of being a Nazi that people dont like about Nazis.
This is correct but ultimately not that important. By that logic you would only be a Nazi if you disown the Jews and give their stuff to the Germans. Disowning being the supposed socialist thing here.
It did not go to the state, it went to some rich fucks, whose grandchildren are still rich fucks today.
The socialism in NSDAP is always overplayed by Americans. This might be due to MCarthiesm.
Thank you for making this comment. There are enough moments where right-wingers legitimately do out themselves as fascists that we don't need to be elevating these silly gotchas.
I'm not sure anyone would accept the pedophile label or rush to defend pedophiles. She obviously didn't object to the title of Nazis and she rushed to defend them as "us".
