My favourite part about online Nazis is how they claim the evilness is blown out of proportion because "not that many Jews died", but then they simultaneously openly hate Jews.

For anyone bored enough to debate Nazis online, keep your eyes peeled for this trend. It's a very consistent one.

Yeah, it's weird. It's like "No, we didn't do that. But we totally would've."

That didn't happen

And if it did, it wasn't that bad

And if it was, that's not a big deal

And if it was, that's not my fault

And if it was... Actually, fuck it, we have Congress people now, we'll do it again.

It’s the classic denial. They say the Holocaust didn’t happen but that they wish it had. They know they’re lying, it’s just a way to not be too repulsive for the people that might be willing to join them

Saying that you would've done the Holocaust is really, really repulsive, though.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah but that part is quiet. They say that they don’t believe it happened then put their feelers out with some antisemitic statements if it doesn’t get pushback. Their goal seems to be to cross the line a little bit

They’ll also claim to be objective and critical while simultaneously holding some of the most subjective and personal thoughts imaginable.

"It never happened but they deserved it". It's a classic rhetoric of people who deny or white wash genocides.

If some nazis are really using this argument then that's funny. 1 innocent person dying bc of nazi ideology is still injustifiable.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

"Nazis arent that bad only a few died

Sure I want to finish the job what's your point?"

[–] ruination@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

It doesn't make sense too, like it's bad enough even if just one died.
