    There should be zero tolerance for Nazis.

    But if a profiteer trades media with a nazi it doesn’t make him one. It makes him an asshole, but a Nazi is something far worse and by watering that down and normalizing it you’re doing great harm to society.

      I somewhat agree, because their opinion can be changed by whatever is most profitable. However, that view also makes it impossible to identify Nazis. It’s hard to say Disney wasn’t a Nazi and only did things against that because it was profitable, or he was anti-nazi and only did things for them because it was profitable. If “just following orders” makes you a Nazi, then just following the profits does too.

        I think if a nazi is living secretly in hiding all is well but since we live in a world where people tell us who they are it becomes incredibly easy to identify Nazis.

          Just gonna point out that that’s a Crusader cross, I think it’s the cross of Jerusalem specifically but I’m only really familiar with like three Crusader orders so it could be one of the more obscure ones I’m just not recognizing. I only say this since I keep seeing folks calling it the iron cross which is an entirely different symbol and would be less of a red flag since at least the iron cross has connections to the German Empire, Modern Germany, and American Biker gangs.

            I made a recreation of a local bust of Kaiser Wilhelm (one of the good ones, brought peace to Europe (the non-ominous way)) that happened to include an actual iron cross medal. I was concerned about modern interpretations and so I did research on it, and the anti-defamation league tells me that it is not a hate symbol. Good enough for me.

      I would argue it does. By assisting a Nazi in any way, you have actively chosen not to hinder them, and are thus furthering their cause. That makes you a fucking honorary Nazi at the very least.

      It’s not about watering anything down, it’s about keeping those pieces of shit as radioactive as possible. Their ideology should be completely isolated and driven to literal extinction.

        Lol, not hindering equals assisting, okay

        Why are you assisting in the Israeli genocide?

        Is anything you own made in China? Is any of the fuel you’ve used in the past couple of years supplied by SA or Russia? If so, aren’t you actively promoting multiple genocides?

          not hindering equals assisting

          I said absolutely no such thing. I said assisting a Nazi is choosing not to hinder them.

          And you know absolutely nothing about my habits, what I do, or what I buy so fuck off with that bad faith nonsense and stop defending Nazis.
