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.

From what I've read about the Nazis I don't think they were very religious. Makes sense too, if you are a fascist regime you want your leader to be the top dog, not some guy in the sky. Hitler, their fuhrer was their god.

But yeah I wouldn't really define them by their antisemitism. The jews were just the minority they picked to demonise. I think fascism is defined by:

  • Creating a cult-like society where the narrative is strictly regulated and any deviation heavily punished
  • Setting their society apart from others ("us vs them") and demonising minorities (in their case the jews but they were not the only ones, LGBTQ and people with mental health issues and physical disabilities too!)
  • Extreme nationalism, exceptionalism and glorification of country and its leader
  • Military imperialism (fed by the above point of nationalism, to give the soldiers a cause to fight for) and self-enrichment of its leaders

But this is how I see it, I kinda wonder now what the official definition is.

From what I studied, the majority were indeed conservative Christians.

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.

I will never not think of the Not Racist Butt anytime I see or hear someone say "I'm not a Nazi but..."
