I think we can safely shit on Nazis as a whole, though.

Modern nazis? Yes. They can all go fuck themselves.

Historical nazis? Like the ones from the 1920s-1945? Maybe. I'm unclear how many of them knew what being nazis actually meant. Like, the average nazi soldier in some 1942 battle. Does he know about jews dying? Does he know the things the nazis stand for? I'm not saying yes or no, because I legit don't know. I find it hard to believe that millions of soldiers all knew, and still went along with it.

Now the SS? Oh, those assholes KNEW! They were far enough up the ladder that they knew exactly what was going on. They were the ones enforcing it.

Same as the nazis who ran the camps.

I read about this one guy who was basically the warden of one of those camps. Directly responsible for literally millions of dead jews in 4 years. They put him on trial at the Nuremburg trials, and he says he did nothing wrong. So they asked him if they threw him in that same oven, would that be wrong? He said no. Sooooo......that's what they did. One of the last things he said was that it was ironic that the one who was to throw the switch on his death was Jewish.

That's not irony. That's payback.

Fuck off with that nazi apologist bullshit. The whole nazi party ideology was based on hating minorities and blaming them for Germany's economic and social ills. Who fucking cares about the details, the whole party was hate filled rage bait just like modern Republicans.

I don't want to say 'Itodaso' but the guy went from "Not all men" to Nazi apologist in ONE post. These guys are all over Lemmy and it's super depressing.

I am not OP, but I might have been subconsciously being an apologist somewhere. How can I improve myself in this regard?

If you say something you think is normal, but get downvoted to hell with a bunch of angry replies, then seriously consider their perspective instead of arguing with each one.

Seek out places where you think they've been making good points.
