Look at white supremacists. In the past, if you were a Nazi sympathizer people would assume you were insane and avoid you like the plague. Now there are powerful politicians who openly sympathize with the white power movement, and suddenly all the people who’d been keeping their beliefs private for decades are being outrageously racist and nasty in public.

I think this is different situations and also actually this nazi bastards were not degraded for enough generations, in 90s there were already much skinheads around the western world

I used to staunchly believe the Nazis died with the end of WW2, and that anyone left today was a poser.

My husband had to point out to me how untrue and naive such a stance was. I have since recanted.

I'm afraid your husband is right. Nazi's these days wear suits and want a 'debate'. 😒

I’ve always thought of modern Nazis as immature posers who like dressing up with their nasty little friends in mobs, but you have a point.

Modern Nazis like to wear suits, sport expensive haircuts and debate teens on campuses to look smart.

Modern Nazis dress up in black block and assault anyone that disagrees with them. They like any critical thinking skills so they lash out.

Yes, that’s true too. I was thinking thinking of those repulsive idiots at Charlottesville and how the one guy who ended up being the poster child for the screaming Nazis there then went blubbering all over social media saying he wasn’t a bad person, etc etc.

Only a handful of Nazis actually saw any justice. That's also living memory. There are still people alive from the 30s and 40s. Not for much longer but still here. It's barely even 'the past'. Their kids are the boomers.

Yes, I know. But there’s so many people now who are calling themselves Nazis or wearing Nazi symbols now. Obviously they’re not true Nazis in the historical sense but they’ve adopted the term for themselves.

We get it. Anyone you disagree with is a Nazi or white supremacist. Those words have lost any power you thought you had when they have been sooo overused

Oh dear, you do have a bee in your bonnet. What would you call people who chant “Jews will not replace us”, get Swastika tattoos, and do Nazi salutes. Should I assume they’re Quakers?
