Nazis aren’t people who say some anti-semitic stuff sometimes. Nazis hurt and kill people.
Agreed. Wasn’t trying to say otherwise. But I’d think recovering nazis are frequently “people who say some anti-semitic stuff sometimes.” I’ve known people who have deconverted from both mainstream religions and cults who have needed support in the transition out, and those folks were “kindof brainwashed but working on it.” And I don’t think nazi groups are entirely dissimilar from cults.
I don’t remember which episode specifically, but I remember Ian Danskin (“Innuendo Studios” on YouTube and creator of “The Alt-Right Playbook” series) making some points about how it’s good to have spaces meant for people who are “kindof a nazi, but working on it.” (He also said those spaces need to be kept well away from safe spaces for marginalized groups, which of course makes sense.)

Sure, or racist stuff. But antisemitism, racism and sexism are unfortunately not just limited to nazis, there are plenty of other people who say anti semitic, racist, homophobic and sexist stuff.
And I don’t like it when people call all racists nazis because in my view, a Nazi is a specific and extreme version of racist. And of course all forms of racism are bad, but some are way way worse than others.
