There were multiple photos of a man wearing a shirt that said "6MWE" which stands for "Six Million Wasn't Enough", a direct reference to the holocaust. Are you saying you don't believe that sentiment is in line with Nazis? Or do you not believe that this shirt was on display there? https://www.jta.org/2021/01/11/united-states/a-photo-of-an-anti-semitic-shirt-went-viral-after-the-capitol-siege-heres-what-the-people-sharing-it-got-wrong-and-why-it-matters https://www.jta.org/2021/01/11/united-states/a-photo-of-an-a... Edit: And this is one example, if you are truly in the dark about these symbols and what not being on display more examples can be provided but I really would like to know if you've seen this and what you think.

>There were multiple photos of a man wearing a shirt that said "6MWE" which stands for "Six Million Wasn't Enough" Fact check: Unsubstantiated How do you know that? I ask, because when I search that term on google, I get two things. Mostly unrelated hits on 6mwe crystal structure, and a small number of news articles explaining this term's meaning because of that guy in his shirt. Even if I search 4chan /pol/ archives, the hive of scum and villainy, there are fewer than three pages of hits and the earliest reference to 6mwe is 17 Dec 2020, https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/text/6mwe/page/3/ https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/text/6mwe/page/3/ It seems unlikely that anyone standing with that guy would have known what his shirt meant or would share that view. It seems far more likely that this guy is a plant, who is there for the specific purpose of generating those news articles about "evil" Trump supporters. If you have a better source regarding origin and proof of widespread knowledge of that term, feel free to leave that in the comments. Otherwise, let's consider this one debunked.

I don't believe we can really discuss things if you believe that people are false flagging in the midst of "normal" Trump supporters that invaded the US Capitol to somehow make them look worse. Additionally, Trump and his supporters have continually failed to eject the worst elements of the group so I fail to see why you believe that these supporters would suddenly draw a line here.

  It seems to me, from reading this comment, that there are literal "Nazis" on Y Combinator's Hacker News.

> Are you saying you don't believe that sentiment is in line > with Nazis? If that is a photo from the capitol protests, sure, the sentiment is in line with that of the Nazis on the topic of Jewish people. But I might expect many Palestinians to share the same ideas, but they are not by definition Nazis, despite overlapping ideas about Jewish people. That shirt is black and yellow, the colors for the 'Proud Boys' [1]. Whilst the group is described as 'far-right', I don't believe they support Nazis. I believe the leader is of mixed ethnicity.
