    I’m not excusing behavior, far from it, but I’m not sure our modern problem children can be described with an 80 year old German political party. Far right, white supremest extremism is a now problem. These losers don’t care if you call them a Nazi, it just means you “fell for it bro/got owned lib.”

    Call them what they are, not what they want to be.

      Put it this way, if the forced labour camps were to start up tomorrow. Do you think this chud would be for or against them?

      I’m not going to split hairs over what kind of fascist / fascism enabler he is. He did the salute, he boosts Nazis. Close enough.

      I’m confused - wasn’t far right, ‘aryan’ supremacy extremism a then problem too? Specifically 80 years ago in Germany?

      I think the label “Nazi” is used not because it is the most accurate possible term, but because it communicates very efficiently.
