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.
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.
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.
If you want to educate the person above, don’t start with “fuck off”. Just explain to them why they are wrong and corroborate with historical bits as you please. The fuck off is completely unnecessary and counter-productive

Like the ‘innocent German farmer soldiers’ who had no idea what was happening? This is how that starts, dude, seriously, this isn’t even a clever attempt at a wedge issue. It’s as in-your-face as it could be.
Does it feel good getting off to demonizing people who don’t know better
What is he, a goddamn four year old? Who the fuck doesn’t know Nazi’s are bad are you fucking kidding me here? Nobody is ‘getting off’ on anything, this person called out a Nazi apologist. There’s no clean wehrmacht, it was a Nazi lie by higher ups to save their own fucking skin.
From 16 Days in Berlin: (I can’t be assed to find the original attribution, go do it yourself if you care to.)
“We have to win this war… if the others win the war, and they do to us only a fraction of what we have done in the occupied territories, there won’t be a single German left in a few weeks.”
There now I’ve done the thing where the lefty finds the answers for you.
Fuck fascism, fuck Nazi’s, fight them everywhere you see them, give them no ground, no quarter. Defend each other because even the centrists will side with them, just like last time.
18 year old draftees into the Vietnam war sprayed everything with agent orange and caused generations of suffering for innocent people. Many of them also suffered from the after effects and American companies refused to ackniwledge their part in it. Arguably the average American company is far worse than the Nazis were. If you work at Facebook for example, you assisted in multiple genocides. If you know a facebook user, they obviously don’t care.
Ok, well I guess you support the complete facist takeover of the U.S. government which was funded by American corporations. You support climate change, the millions of immigrants being rounded up and placed in for profit detainment camps. The millions who will die in Ukraine, the likelyhood of a second American Civil war, and the likelyhood of WWIII With the United States assisting in the Invasion of Europe.
Oh wait, more than one thing can be bad at the same time, fuck off.
Why are you saying all this to me? This should’ve been in your response to the other guy. Hell even just linking the myth of the clean Wehrmacht article would’ve been a lot more productive than calling them a Nazi apologist right out the gate.
Because I’m going to make goddamn sure you understand what you’re doing so the next time you think we should talk nice to the people defending a group that designed and implemented genocide of more than one people group as a fucking core ideology you’ll pause and maybe reflect on if this is the best time to be super cordial with some guy about to launch into ‘I’m just saying maybe the numbers are exaggerated.’
My grandmother wasn’t thrown in a camp by fucking elite waffen SS guards it was random fucking Wehrmacht child rapists who were taught that Deutschland über alles.
Sigh can you calm down there for a second? I realize that they were parroting clean Wehrmacht propaganda that is, in fact, completely false. However, nothing in their reply made it seem like they have any Nazi sympathies, and instead simply believed propaganda they’d come across or made a not illogical assumption that simply turned out to be false. If you consider that to be an unforgivable sin rather than a misconception that can be corrected then enjoy your ideologically pure trip to fascistland I guess. Otherwise maybe try educating them so they at least don’t spread the same propaganda elsewhere where someone might actually believe it. If then they turn out to be a bad faith actors or dig their heels you can comdemn their Nazi apologia all you want.
When it comes to Nazi stuff? No, absolutely not. Fascists run the US right now, and I am rightly worried about what that means. We have actual Fascists running the country with nukes, with an army they spend more on than most of the world combined. Fascists are always stopped by picking a fight they can’t win, and if these apologists and ‘well were they really that bad’ or whatever it is this time buy them sympathy, they buy them time to creep into each office, each group of people. Suddenly you have Jews for Hitler and they go ‘see? If we were really bad, would these people defend us?’
So no I’m not going to calm down, I’m going to very specifically point out we know exactly where this goes. This is the paradox of tolerance right here; we fight it everywhere. Not just when they say the genocide things, when they do any dog whistles, any of the talking points, we shut that shit down.
and instead simply believed propaganda they’d come across
This is the same fucking stuff from the Nazi’s. And we didn’t beat it last time with softly worded retorts and appeasement, we did it when we stood up and fought back, we figuratively gathered all the bullied groups at school against the school bullies and pummelled them so badly they couldn’t hurt us again. Because Fascists pick on the smallest target, because they need the money, the distraction, an External Enemy to focus people on. And it starts here, in the pubs, in the break rooms, in the internet forums, on message boards, that they build their support base.
So call this paranoid or that it’s me being emotional, I don’t care, because all I have to do is point at the past and I’m proven right.

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

I’d assumed you actually were ‘done’ but no, I see you still getting bodied in this very thread by other people.
Keep up the good work :)
What does bodied mean ?
Does it feel good getting off to demonizing people who don’t know better while accomplishing absolutely nothing of value?

That guy isn’t doing anything. You realize he’s not the one that was trying to defend nazis right?
Not that I even thing the original guy necessarily was either, but whatever. He was still wrong imho.
He’s trying to be nice to a guy defending Nazis. Still bad.
Exactly
You don’t get to say shit.

Posters have limited energy for polite niceties to people they disagree with. Not one joule of that energy goes to kindness towards Nazi apologists.
Stop being an apologist for nazi apologists.
I told them why they are wrong and if anger keeps them from learning then they weren’t going to learn anyway.
Fuck off
Fuck off
Fuck off
Fuck off
Fuck off.
And fuck the mod or automod who is crying about me being a big ol meanie to Nazi apologists.
😂 one more time for the people in the back ?
Fuck off
oh and the people in the front ?! almost forgot
