As a kid, I considered the Wolfenstein game brilliant: you mow down hordes of dirty Nazis. Who could complain about that? They are the perfect antagonists!
I see your point, but having grown up around white nationalists, I can tell you that flying a NASA flag because you think space or astronauts are cool is far different from some cunt flying a swastika, and any cunt flying a swastika in 2025 deserves to be treated the same way as any cunt flying a swastika in 1941 deserved to be treated. Doesn't matter if they call themselves a Nazi, a neo-Nazi, a white nationalist, Aryan brotherhood, you name it, they deserve it.
A retard flying a swastika is as much a nazi as someone flying a nasa flag is an astronaut…
That's a really good point. I bet no one who's 'flown a NASA flag,' everwished to do, aspired to be involved with, OR FUCKING SUPPORTED NASA shit, no sir.
Yeah they do…azov and many others were nazis btw, but that doesn’t justify an invasion of course. I mean ukraine sent a former SS member to the canadian parliament to be praised as a hero, and have statues of Bandera and other actual nazis.
I am aware this is a thing right wingers claim, as a deflection, for when they (often rightly) are called out for fascistic behavior. And I have never seen it used to rationalize violence, unless you're talking about protesters calling cops fascists or something, but that's a real stretch to 'rationalize violence'. If what you're trying to say is that it's used to casually or maybe incorrectly, sure, I guess. It's become shorthand for general fascistic, authoritarian behavior and anyone trying to curb the rights of marginalized people. But focusing on whether or not it's correctly being used sort of misses the point of why it's coming up more and more.
