    Nazis are a type of narcissist (racial narcissist). Capitalism and advertising reward narcissism of all types because it means they are insecure and wanting more in life. Narcissists then flop between types of narcissism until they can get the supply they want. Like George Santos being a drag queen then homophobic congressman - it was about narcissistic supply the whole time for him.

      Nazis and disabled people are enemies. Disabled people aren’t oppressing themselves. Most Nazis are neurotypical and fully abled.

      If you hate disabled people, you’re not an antifascist, you’re a Nazi.

        I didn’t say they had NPD first off. I said narcissist.

        Second, I also don’t think we should medicalize narcissists anyway. The only reason they get medicalized is to force incarceration or treatment. However, there’s no cure for narcissism. No medication for it. No treatment at all. Why? Well, because it’s just a belief system. Literally. What medicine are you going to give a Nazi or white supremacist to stop them from believing that? Nothing. You can’t give them anything. It’s not a disease.

        And we know this because look at who gets diagnosed and imprisoned - lower level narcissists who threaten bigger ones. Lower level narcissists who can’t pay or bully their way out of consequences. Donald Trump and Elon Musk aren’t being imprisoned despite enormous amounts of damage done by them to others, yet that homeless dude sleeping in a tent is medicalized for calling himself Tent King.

        Last, King Nazi himself was disabled (Hitler), so idk why you’re acting like all disabled people are saints. We aren’t. I’ve met disabled pedophiles. Fuck, look at Stephen Hawking and what he did with Epstein. Yes, obviously Nazis hate disabled people, but many disabled people hate disabled people too.

    I hate to be negative, but people have shown a propensity to dislike anyone not like them for thousands of years. Plain and simple. I think this situation can improve, but I doubt seriously, it will ever go away completely.

    Considering the Nazi’s were inspired by the US in many ways and the US continued promoting their racist opinions on immigrants, doing coups, and installing far right dictators around the world im more surprised the resurgence isnt bigger.

    look at the genocide being funded and armed by the US in Palestine. Israel is invading and preparing for war with like 4? Countries already? Arguing they can rape people they detain and the US threatens the International Criminal Court after they deemed Netanyahu is a war criminal.

    The US leads the world culture in a big way, the US is promoting an authoritarian who admires Hitler and the opposition to him continues sending bombs to a war criminal and threatens people who want to stop him.

      Hitler called the genocide of native Americans ‘the first great cleansing’ and used it as a framework for ‘his second’. To think that Hitler looked up to the United States really starts to change you as an American. Especially in our current context.

        He was also inspired by how racist the US was and how they had demonized and segregated Black peoples as second class citizens while still having a great public perception as a country on the world stage

        Nazis also used Zyklon B in gas chambers inspired by the US using it in Mexicans crossing the border to have to work

      So when do we get to where we stop considering them human?

      I wanna go to a theme park where they have trapped Nazis that we practice throwing knives at, or practice killing multiple with one grenade toss or something.

        We’re better than they are. We don’t dehumanize people. We can still execute them, but we acknowledge that humanity is capable of awful shit and always strive to be better.

    There have always been susceptible idiots.

    Nazi’s are just a byproduct of an eroding standard of living. When things are good and getting better, there just isn’t the fertile ground for that kind of ideology, even among the idiots.

    When standard of living is on the decline? Anyone who gives a simple answer and a simple solution gets the attention of idiots.

      It reminds me of and I don’t know where I read it at but there was this guy who was trying to sell his pet rock in Africa. And told the buyer it keeps lions away. The buyer asked how does it work. The seller simply told him you do not see any lions do you and the buyer bought it.

        So just to add some factual context here. Your Dad fought actual nazis. The people we call nazis are not actually (nor will they be) that powerful. The world thanks men like your father for their success. The losers we call nazis today also go by many names, christians, christian nationalists, evangelicals, KKK, racists, bigots, white supremacists, dictators, etc. But the one name that actually describes who and what they are is Fascists.

    Racism, discrimination, xenophobia, patriotism, nationalism, they will always exist. The question is how each society will handle them.

    It’s because the word has entirely different meaning now than it did back then. The vast majority of people would struggle to name even one literal nazi that’s still alive today. Instead we incorrectly use that term to describe people we don’t like such as Trump and Elon.

      The meaning is exactly the same. The problem is that people are not aware of what the political motivations were for the Nazis. The Nazis were known for their blatant anti-semitism, but you need to look at the bigger picture about why there are comparisons between the Nazis, Trump and Elon. Most of the comparisons are quite accurate and the term “Nazi” is more than just a dirty word.

      Mildly to your point, people use the word “Nazi” when they should actually be using the terms fascist or nationalist.

      What’s funny, is some members of the GOP are labeling themselves as nationalists when they have no idea what it actually means. (Trump and one of the Karen’s have notably done that.)

    Because a specific group of populists ‘lost’, but populism still works and will continue to work wherever there is people in dire situations.

    The more dire your situation is, the more you need a solution. And then someone telling you “it’s the fault of those other people”, that just offers up a real straightforward supposed solution.

    Even if it’s pretty clear that it cannot possibly actually solve the real problem, the prospect of a mild improvement will have many going along and ignoring morals.

      it’s the fault of those other people

      This is what is tho… There people who are directly at fault. The issue who is who fascist blame and how they won’t ever name their daddies is part of the problem… When in reality owner class pushing this shit are the ones causing the dire circumstances for the working class to begin with.

      It is a clever tactic and has proven very effective at manipulating men with fragile egos.

      Funny enough, fake news will never call out anything that would endanger economic interests of the owner class. Why would anyone take these clowns seriously?

      Fascism also thrives on fear. It’s not a coincidence that far-right populism grew massively during the pan.
