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.
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:
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.
