I'm not defending these people, but are they really Nazis? Or just angry, uneducated and disenfranchised white people?
- Latty 9y agoWhy not both? Most people vulnerable enough to eat up the Nazi ideology are probably in a bad place. Case in point, post-WW1 Germany.
- MichaelGG 9y agoNo they are not Nazis anymore than I'm a Freemason because I say I am and hang some of their symbols up. Even less so, because Freemasons as a group are still active, the NSDAP is defunct. It's just that saying "literal fucking nazis" sounds so much more dramatic than "Neo Nazis" or " fucktards pretending to be nazis".
- rjsw 9y agoA publication that chooses the name The DailyStormer clearly wants people to think that it is by and for Nazis. We executed the publisher of the newspaper whose name it echoes [1] after the Nuremberg trials. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_St%C3%BCrmer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_St%C3%BCrmer
- abritinthebay 9y agoWhy not both? If you support modern nazi talking points, causes, rhetoric, actions, or regularly give them money (via page views, donation, or merch) then you're almost certainly a nazi. Doesn't matter if someone is white, poor, rich, disenfranchised, privileged, whatever. Note - I am not making a distinction between historical nazism and neo-nazis because we're talking about the present day not WW2. Modern Nazi's are the Daily Stormer and their ilk.
