Look at all this silly outcry finding nazis in the mere use of dual sig runes.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-ss-flag-photo Clearly nothing suspect or even remotely questionable about things like that. |

What did Prince Harry mean when he war a Nazi uniform to a costume party? Aren't we glad calmer heads prevailed and decided to ask rather than assume? Despite having family with ties to Germany and even some who supposedly supported the Nazis in WW2, his actions and words on there own do not seem to suggest an endorsement of Nazism and certainly not the inclination to carry out murderous acts.

What does does it mean when someone opens up a Nazi-themed restaurant?

Well now I know that just because someone is covered with nazi themed tattoos someone would have to be crazy to think he might be a racist.
It is like suggesting the KKK is racist. They are quite clear that they are not a racist organization and so merely having KKK imagery is not racist either. https://www.newsweek.com/kkk-north-c...ux-klan-765473 So we are clear that just because someone is covered with nazi and KKK symbols that in no way makes them a racist, and only a bigot would ever think that. |

In the future I'll strive to remember that you support genocide.
Clearly you haven't been paying attention, but we're calling political violence very bad, then the Nazis were definitely a terrible evil, yes? That's if you could keep a single thought in your head. |

My uncles fought against the Nazis. I am happy to continue a family tradition.

To me it is pretty simple, after thinking more about it.
If you want to egg some one go for your life. Just don't moan if you get punched in the face for doing it. Everything is good. Everyone happy Sent from my SM-J500Y using Tapatalk |

That wasn't vigilante violence. That was a war against an expansive, oppressive, genocidal regime.
You might notice a slight difference, there. The point of all this is that violence begets violence, so you shouldn't use it lightly, lest you find yourself in a world where street violence is justified and widespread, and the reason for that is that you're just as likely to be a target. |

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the Germans (expert on Nazis one would assume) have a de-radicalization program which doesn't even focus on the radical ideas themselves. They focus on finding work and career goals for radical individuals because it is there belief that the underlying socio-economic issues are what drives people to radicalization. Hitler and his Nazis seemed to seize on socio-economic issues of the day (WW1 reparations, the Great Depression, etc) and created a convenient boogie man, as a way to draw support and for others to just look the other way.

All this violence seemed to put an end to Nazi violence - at least for a while. Did you notice a slight difference between egging a Nazi and the bombing of Dresden in WW II? Did any Nazis get eggshells in their eyes? |

At least according to this interview with Thomas Mücke from Violence Prevention Network, Radikale zurück ins Leben führen (Migros-Magazin), they seem to start with a focus on the re-radicalization before they help them (Neo Nazis as well as former ISIS warriors) get and education and a job. |

Were the good, peaceful online Nazis egging (sorry!) him on or not?! Did they advise him not to do a thing like that?
