LoL. Why does it matter?
This ‘wait, are they the good Nazis?’ is exactly how we got here. There are no good Nazis, period.
They’re trying to determine if you’re labelling Ukraine as Nazis, which your reaction confirms, was a good thing to determine
Exactly. There are Nazis they support. But I didn’t just decide to call them that- they call themselves that. Which is why Congress had to lift the ban on arming Nazis in order to send them arms.
If your reaction to criticism of Nazis is ‘wait- which Nazis?,’ you’re a Nazi supporter.
The undeniable urge for liberals to find middle ground with fascists is exactly why things have been allowed to get this bad.
It might be that you’re asking to see if someone is misusing the term. If you want to ignore that possibility, you probably don’t give much of a shit about nazis, but rather want to demonize a group for other reasons.
Go ahead, tell me I support nazis again. I do not care. I don’t, said nothing like that, and am making a valid point. Make whatever choices you need to in order to protect yourself.
edit: gonna guess their only priority here is to stand with Russia and against Ukraine.
You sure you don’t support Nazis? Because you eagerly jumped to their defense right here in the comments. I didn’t accuse you of supporting them- you are right here supporting them.
If someone calls themselves a Nazi, and you support them, you are by definition a Nazi supporter.
You sure you have a fucking shred of evidence I did any of that shit? Are you sure you can read?
No one here called themself a nazi.
edit: actually just blocking you, don’t worry about it
Edit2: what this guy really is saying “you need to actually know if someone is a Nazi before killing them? That makes you a Nazi!!!”. Fucking braindead
Demanding proof, and blocking when you fear I might provide it. Classic.
How is it y’all can identify Musk is a Nazi from his salute, but not notice the Ukrainian far-right openly declaring themselves Nazis? Mind boggling how Red & Blue MAGA can continue to excuse fascism like this.

The last leader of the Russian space agency was a white supremacist, who went to nazi rallies in Russia. The guy who name the Wagner mercenary group had both an SS and nazi eagle tattoo. By defending Russia, when they clearly have no issue with nazis in their ranks, it makes you a nazi supporter.
Except I never defended Russia, because I oppose them, too. Maybe if you didn’t treat this like team sports, you wouldn’t feel so compelled to pick which fascists you’ll support.
Nazi lives don’t matter, no matter where they live.
Correction to that second edit: I’m saying that if someone tells you they are a Nazi, believe them and act accordingly.
But I’ll add this: if someone defends Nazis, they are also a Nazi.
Liberals are too damn comfortable allying with far-right extremist groups. The ends do not justify the means.
The tankie “you’re a nazi” insult has nearly as much weight as the zionist “you’re antisemitic”.
How does it make me a tankie to point out someone wearing Nazi patches on their uniform? Why is it that I’m the problem for pointing out they shouldn’t erect monuments of Nazis? If I say ‘we should re-instate the ban on arming Nazis,’ why do you get upset?
What’s funny is liberals are upset at conservatives gaslighting Musk’s open Nazism, after a decade of defending their own favorite Nazis. Red & Blue MAGA really are two versions of the same problem.
