The thing that NOBODY seems to understand, or maybe not willing to admit is, you CANNOT group people together.

It's the whole reason racism logically makes no sense. At all.

"Oh, all those dirty (insert race here) are good for nothin! They're all assholes!"

And sure, regardless of what race you inserted there, there's going to be some assholes. There's also going to be some amazing people that you're unfairly judging.

And it's not just races. It's anything. Races, genders, religions, countries, social groups, book clubs, whatever.

If you think all people of one group think the same on everything, you're just factually wrong. And if you use that incorrect fact to judge that group, now you're just an asshole.

I've found that people th]?6ink judging people is bad, and wrong. I don't think so. I think some people are just terrible at judging people, and miss the point of judging people. You're supposed to judge them as an individual. Not as (insert group here).

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.

No, all Nazis are horrible. Full stop, no addendums, no caveats.

To be a Nazi is to have an ideology that is abhorrent and to be shunned. It is a choice, unlike all the other examples in you initial comment.

Nazi=bad.
