They’re not really much debate going on in this community. 95% of all posts are just “lol republican dumb Nazis” and every comment that’s not agreeing is downvotes to hell.

If Republicans ever quit doin’ nazi shit, people will quit pointin’ it out.

There’s already too many places where disingenuous support for nazi shit is welcome: reddit, facebook, threads, bluesky, truth social, 4chan, twitter, youtube comments, and far too many more.

Not everywhere has to be, and I hope the mods won’t be swayed by the constant insufferable whining of people who won’t shut up about how unhappy they are that everywhere isn’t stormfront.

If people stop moving the goalposts on what “litteral Nazi shit” is, you’d find that most Republicans aren’t literal nazis. Are there some? Yes. Do they make up a significant amount? Not eve close.

I’d say cheering when someone suggests eradicating a vulnerable minority is nazi shit. I’d say marching with nazis is nazi shit. I’d say carrying a nazi flag is nazi shit.

Welcoming nazis into your party? That’s nazi shit.

I’d say cheering when someone suggests eradicating a vulnerable minority is nazi shit.

Where is this happening? Firstly who is suggesting it, and secondly who is cheering it?

Michael Knowles advanced “eradicating” trans people at CPAC. And the people there cheered.

That’s taken completely out of context and you know it.

It’s not calling for trans people to be eradicated, it’s calling for the current trans ideologies where if you’re a girl who likes trucks you must be trans and therefore must be rushed on to puberty blockers and get your breast removed.

No one is calling for trans people to be eradicated as in “killed”. That’s what Nazis did - they literally killed people by the millions.

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”. If we wait for them to explicitly express trans-genocide, it will be too late.

No one is suggesting or calling for a genocide. It’s not happening. It’s not going to happen.
I call a spade a spade ♠️. Ask a trans person what they think Knowles meant. You won’t. Because you know what they’d say. And you don’t care , because you assert your ignorance as truth.
How Nazi propaganda dehumanized Jews to facilitate the Holocaust

A new study of speeches, pamphlets and articles from the period shows how German fascism denied Jewish people humanity to fuel hate and justify genocide.

ask a crazy person what something normal means and you get a crazy response

Yes, that’s true.

If you’re splitting hairs about what “eradicate” means, it says a lot about what you’re happy to defend.

And why.
