I'm gonna channel John brown with every nazi I see

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

I've seen people unironically insist John Brown was a Nazi. I believe "posting John Brown memes" was one of the arguments for banning a swath of leftist subs on Reddit, back in '16.

A man who gave his life to free slaves is no nazi. The fact that it's controversial to say slaves should be free is what made me radicalized

A man who gave his life to free slaves is no nazi.

Ah, but he condoned violence. And every liberal knows that resisting the benevolent enslavement of the superior white race is just as bad as firing artillery rounds at a federal base off the coast of South Carolina.

The fact that it’s controversial to say slaves should be free is what made me radicalized

You're allowed to say slaves should be free. Everyone has the right to free speech, after all.

You're just not allowed to do anything to free the slaves. Or condone those that do. Or mention the names of those that condone those that do. Or suggest in any way that violence is an appropriate response to a problem.

Unless, we're talking about violence aimed at a National Enemy, of course. Then you're an evil double agent of a foreign government if you don't clap enthusiastically at our next Great Patriotic War abroad.

Good to sort any pedantic or bad faith arguments out now. Pedantry didn't win the day to stave off WWII and that shit caught on quick. Let's get ahead of that this time.

I was taught when I was young that you don't call something that isn't really genocide genocide, someone that isn't a nazi a nazi, etc. because it dilutes the meaning of the word. I do think that Israel is committing a genocide, and I do think that Musk is a neo-nazi; I'm not diluting these terms to say this.

One day Nazis are going to find out again that people love killing Nazis more than Nazis love killing their undesirables.

[-] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

You gotta use all caps to really show how much we LOVE killing Nazis.

I don't really like this, because Nazis were the german national "socialists", why the fuck would some american dipshits be nazis, they are fascists, we should use the correct word.

Nazis were the german national “socialists”, why the fuck would some american dipshits be nazis, they are fascists, we should use the correct word.

To borrow from a certain Austrian politican from 1923

"Why," I asked Hitler, "do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party programme is the very antithesis of that commonly accredited to socialism?"

"Socialism," he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, pugnaciously, "is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.

"Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic.

"We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national. We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the state on the basis of race solidarity. To us state and race are one."

Besides, "The Fascist Party" was an organization originally founded by Benito Mussolini, having fallen out with the Italian Communist Party and formed his own reactionary splinter group. Fascism, as a reactionary response to the simultaneous popular appeal of socialism and the hostility it engenders from monarchism, is a synthesis of the two.

Fascism promises the red meat of social action that populists crave, while cultivating patronage with the aristocracy by deflecting criticism onto minorities. It is a "higher" form of political triangulation. Sort of the methamphetamine of politics, in so far as it juices the body politic to an enthusiastic euphoria of communal action that inevitably leads to self-destruction.

It is, in effect, all the worst aspects of socialism compounded upon itself. Rather than calling it "National Socialism" I would simply refer to it as "Socialism Done Badly".

Of course it's a .world account stepping up to defend Nazis.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 2 hours ago

The Nazis weren't Nazis, so we shouldn't call them Nazis either by that logic.

If some dipshit pops out to say "they aren't German nationalists!" you've found a Nazi.

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 hours ago

Neo-nazis. Shortened to Nazi. I think we understand what it means given the context.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 50 points 10 hours ago

Nazis, plural. Where there's one Nazi, there's guaranteed multiple more hiding nearby.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 21 points 8 hours ago

Like roaches, except more skeevy.

Sane weird breeding fetish though

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

At this point, they may not even be hiding

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 59 points 10 hours ago

ah, the before times.

Now they're the guys with their arms in the air. pretty hard to miss.

[-] cogman@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

No no, you see they are being "ironic"! Don't you understand their alpha brained comedy? /s
