I got perma IP banned after commenting on a post about how nazis want X minority eradicated: "Well, maybe nazis should be eradicated"
Did I take it too far? Perhaps. Do I regret it? Not in the slightest
Perhaps? How did we come to live in a world where people question themselves about whether we should eradicate Nazis.
There was a time not long ago when the only thing the entire world agreed on was that Nazis should be eradicated.
They never stopped after the war, they hunted down Nazis in their 90s hiding all over the world to bring them to justice.
Half the games I grew up playing involved shooting Nazis.
It probably has a lot to with actual nazis being dead and anyone called a nazi today having basically nothing in common with the group that was the nazis.
Nothing aside from the ideology, symbols, behaviors, and derogatory & dogwhistle terms, of course.

...but of course people have explained to me that "Nazis are fine, as long as they fight for us"... ๐
