Well he's clearly just trying to make a point. But I'd say it's a legitimate one. I should be able to study and admire Nazi or Mongol military tactics without automatically being branded a Nazi or Mongol sympathizer.
- favorited 9y agoPeople have been studying WWII for 70 years without "automatically being branded" Nazi sympathizers. I'm not sure why you think that happens.
- peterhadlaw 9y agoThe auto-Nazi phenomenon is a more recent one; not even a year old. It's honestly disheartening seeing people reduce the meaning of these words to nil; they have grave, horrendous origins. People that are using them so meaninglessly are disrespecting the millions of people that have died in the vein of those words.
- yahna 9y agoRidiculous, people have been anti-nazi forever. The Nazis being louder and more out in the open than before is new.
- api 9y agoSure, but if you study and admire Nazi military tactics while also penning manifestoes defending racial hygiene laws people are going to wonder.
- pen2l 9y agoThis is one of those things where you decide you are an adult and take some precaution, be sensitive and be nice and be wary of the optics of what you say. But if someone else says such a thing, interpret what they say in the most charitable way possible and move on. Really, move on guys. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill, just move on. Yes indeed I know you are not a Nazi sympathizer and I'm moving on.
- fred_is_fred 9y agoWouldn't you be studying WW2 era German military tactics rather than Nazi tactics? I'm genuinely curious, but I didn't think that Hitler invented Blitzkrieg.
