The problem with nazis is not their proclivity to murder. It’s their radical upheaval of social norms to dangerous selfish ideals. And in that sense I don’t see much of a difference between the larpers.
- prepend 3y agoI think the main problem with Nazis is the Holocaust. If Nazis hadn’t murdered 20M+ people, they would be way lower on my level of caring. The social norms changes were bad because they led to gas chambers, not because they just had dangerous selfish ideals. There’s lots of groups pushing dangerous selfish ideals (eg, Instagram influencers and culture of affluence worship) but Nazis are bad because of their history of kicking in my door and taking my family away to death camps.
- fauxpause_ 3y agoThe holocaust is a symptom of fascism that is enabled by nazis, as a second order effect of nazis. It’s very unwise to think that a given group is not threatening because they are authoritarian enjoyers but maybe not eager for genocide. The OG nazis were not either. But they gave way for an asshole who was and then let him do what he wanted. The recluses posting horrible shit seem like top candidates to join such a movement in OG Nazi Germany imo.
