useragent13What can we do to prevent nazism?
norskeIf there was an easy answer, it would already be done.
The only thing I can say is treat everyone with as much empathy and kindness as you can. There is plenty of anger and shouting to go around and you don’t win people to your side by shaming or insulting.
Those people are still just people and we have much more in common than we have differences. We all want to provide for the people we care about and want to feel safe and stable. They are just fed a non-stop diet of lies and propaganda pushing them to be how they are.
The world has enough vitriol. It could use a lot more kindness.
It’s not my job to treat nazis with empathy and kindness. If you are a nazi then you deserve to be shut off from society until you decide to be more tolerant
This is like saying that women should treat incels with kindness (insinuating, in bad faith, that the incel problem is their fault) - IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE OTHER PEOPLE’S THERAPISTS
Have you read Night by Elie Wiesel?
You literally just asked if there’s anything you can do that will help. You’re right it’s not your job to help, but you did volunteer for it.

Nazis don’t deserve any kindness or tolerance for their philosophy because the basic tenets of nazism are extermination of others. You can’t let that take root in any society or everyone will eventually suffer.
