You mean Nazis who want to do government sanctioned Nazi shit? No surprise there
Calling U.S. soldiers "Nazis" proves that you don't really know what Nazis are. Please look up history and real Nazis. You do realize that our soldiers fought Nazis in WWII, right?
I know that's probably your fav insult, followed by fascist, and then bootlicker. Please try to be more original.
I didn't call a soldier a nazi, I said that Nazis wanted to play soldier and do Nazi shit. The reality is that recruitment is up, and part of that is going to be white fascist leaning boys who want to have a gun and be told to use it.
I have family in every branch of the military, and have heard the stories from them directly of meeting up with far too many of these kinds of people.
I also had family who fought the nazis, we visited his grave this past memorial day at a national cemetery.
I know exactly what I said, and what kind of people are currently in power in the USA.
You don't know that at all, so it's not reality. It's you projecting, because you don't like the military. And if you have family who fought real nazis then you should know better than to be so lose with the word.
The statistical inclusion of fascists in the mention of voluntary military recruits absolutely is reality, having spoken with the family I have who are currently serving, who are seeing and speaking with the new recruits coming in to the armed forces. It's a topic of discussion at family functions. You trying to discredit my point of view by attacking my motivation is a poor but recognized debate tactic. My personal view of the military is not a factor in my original statement anyway. Do try to stay on the point, even of you fail to properly read and understand the statement. I have great respect for the people who serve the country through inclusion in the armed forces, and their willingness to put themselves in the way of harm to provide a better life for the people that are not.
As for your second argument, the word nazi is not some slur I'm using against a group I don't like, it's a very real state of political view that absolutely survives and arguably thrives in many places in the U.S. I may not use the term 'Neo-Nazi' to discriminate between past and present, but that doesn’t lessen the justification for the application of that label to those who espouse the same beliefs as historical Nazism. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, being loose in my use of the word Nazi. I am refusing to allow apologists to discourage the use of a term that rightfully brings to mind the full impact of the beliefs held by those to whom the term Nazi applies to. I was taught by my grandfather what a Nazi is and why men of character cannot accept such views to become enshrined in the hearts or heads of those around him.
Yes, you are. This conversation is over because of it. Disengage.
Because it doesn't fit, and you are just following Lemmy-Think and use the word without knowing what it means. But hey, you keep talking like an edgy 20-year old with no real grasp of history. I don't know you, or have to deal with you in real life. So you do you, guy.
