Nazism never went away. The Prescott Bushes and Joe McCarthies were always there, pulling the strings of the Nixons and the Reagans.

They were in your schools, in your hospitals, in your commerce. You just never saw them because they were at the upper echelons, rubbing their grubby hands together in satisfaction while looking down on you like a spider watching its prey get inextricably tangled in its web.

In other words, yeah it was on purpose. My theory is that it was their plan all along to make a resurgence now, when the last of the WWII vets and people who remember that era are either dead or in assisted living homes.

Even people who were kids during Nixon are retiring now. The new norm has shifted gradually, decade by decade, and now almost no person still working in the US is old enough to remember the FDR economy.

They played the long game, dude. This is their culminating event.

I think it's because what defeated them was violence and "violence is bad". Because the problem of nazism definitely could've been solved diplomatically... >.>

It's reddit. It's run by nazis, for nazis.

I appreciated reddit very very narrowly, and entirely because every time I had a problem, the internet search result for said problem would be a reddit post with the solution. . Which isnt even true anymore, between people having scrambled posts before deleting accounts, and just the passage of time, and due to the friendly, helpful people disappearing.

beyond that interaction with reddit, it was a festering shitpile of hatred, bigotry, and pedophilia, and it continues to amaze me how it maintained such a popular position.

Both of those perfectly reasonable opinions unfortunately still fall under reddit's site wide umbrella bannable offenses of "inciting harm or violence." 🫤 I know because I'm here for the same reasons.

I got permanently banned from Reddit for saying that Child predators should be killed.

I mean, they made admin (or supermod, can't be arsed to remember) a known child-predator enabler and issued bans on anyone complaining; that should have been a sign of where they were going...

i got nuked from reddit because of Emil Nolde of all people. Someone posted his painting on r/museum and i made a comment about the demented irony of his life - he was hardcore nazi but he ended up in Entartete Kunst exhibition - so somehow mods thought that's condoning nazis and breaking the community rules - boom boom boom and here we are.

"I was willing to excuse him when he was hauling my neighbours; both citizen' and not away in unmarked vans to be put in concentration camps and subsequently deported without due process but I draw the line at paying more for gas and groceries."

I mean I grew up with that being told my grandparents were from another time and that's why I couldn't bring black friends around when he was there.

Sounds like someone doesnt know their Nyet's from their Nein's.

Like red to green, or getting darker? And if it's the latter, why don't they do that? And if it's the former, why would you want that?
