any normal person that's not a nazi I suppose. In my mind being associated with Thiel should be seen as a serious stain on someone's reputation, here people band it around as a badge of honor. Needless to say, I'm not impressed.

The feeling is mutual towards you two and the dull apparatchiks that inhabit HN. The right fought against the Nazis and the Communists including Germany. What antifa leaves out of its messaging where they pretend to be the one true faction that was anti-Nazi - is that the reactionary right in Germany was one of the few holdouts against the Nazis - but this history doesn't fit into the Liberal story time any more than the Left's story time so it doesn't get mentioned.

  Well, if history was made of opinions this would fit, but as the grandson of an actual partisan fighter doing actual fighting against actual nazis the only thing I can do with your comment is giggle.

    As the Wiki states - that Prussian monarchists, nobility, Roman Catholics were enemies of the Nazis is a fact. It doesn't fit into the ideals of Washington or Moscow during the 20th century - but it is still true. Family relations don't matter - but if you're playing that card then I'm related to William Donovan. If you're reading this dang - you owe me a beer.

      the stuff you read on books, I learned at the dinner table, and have a lot more context than you'll ever have. You're picking the wrong fight, trying to protect monsters because they made savy investments in the past. Not worth it man.

  Have no idea how “right” fits with investing in a president who is clearly an idiot. Moreover, Hillary would probably be quite right too if you took it from the perspective of European right anyway.

    I don't support either person or party. Europe isn't more left wing than the United States. This is just a popular myth Americans tell themselves. It's just more - of everything because of a longer history. There's nothing happening in America that didn't have an earlier cycle in Europe. You'll evolve the same policy solutions to the same social problems by convergence.
