That’s actually my birth year. I’m also a democrat. I don’t have any dna ties to countries that had facism. You’re taking out your anger on the wrong person.
Sure. And yet what you said is the exact same dogwhistle we've all heard so many times, directly from neo-nazis, in order to downplay the actions and ideology of another neo-nazi.
Doncha know Hitler wasn't a Nazi since he had brown eyes?
Checkmate.
No. He had pale blue eyes.

This guy actually has a picture of Hitler so close at hand, he can post it within the same minute as the comment he's responding to.
No. It’s an online link. You can find it through Google. I don’t like Hitler. I think he was a poor leader and very anti-Semitic. I have no dna ties to his native home of Austria, nor do I have any dna ties to Nazi’s, or Germany. I realize people want to make me the villain for stating historical facts, but it doesn’t suddenly change my nationality, or dna. It also doesn’t change my ideology to align with facists.
The only people who judge others for their DNA and nationality ARE nazis. You are the ONLY one who keeps bringing that irrelevant trash to the discussion. You repeatedly parrot nazi talking points. You instantly try to correct the tiniest fact about Hitler. And you keep an 88 in your username.
If only. Unfortunately essentially every government enforces who can easily live in the plots of land they control based on DNA.
Wow, you sure know a lot about the genetics of Nazis.
I’m not related to any Nazis. I’m mostly Scottish, British, and Irish by blood. The last bit of my dna is a mix of Norwegian and Icelandic, or so ancestry.com. Sorry to derail your hate train there.
Nobody asked, and nobody cares.
And yeah, I fuckin' HATE Nazis. And I'm proud of that.
You sound very emotional. You have a lot of hate, and you’re expressing that. Perhaps you live in an area where you deal with hate groups and it’s causing you to have some unresolved anger towards them. If your current environment is causing you that much anger, you should probably look to relocate. I don’t encounter any white supremacists around me. I live in an area where people are mostly Latino. If your area isn’t causing you to experience all this hate, you should probably seek therapy to talk about it with someone.
That is clearly not true.
I actually worked at a job site in California where I was the only one who would stand for the flag salute. I asked others around me why they wouldn’t stand. They told me they would only stand for the flag of Mexico. I live around supremacists, but they aren’t white supremacists.
Yep, you're definitely a nazi.
I have no dna ties to Germany and most Germans I have met are not even my blood type. I’m not a Nazi and I don’t make Nazi babies. It just isn’t in my blood.
Exactly, precisely what a nazi would say.
I don’t think so, dude. My family fought against the Nazis in WW2. You’re being so disrespectful to everything my family, and other American families have sacrificed by serving for America.
Well, I hope you’re not in support of Palestine in the Gaza conflict then. One word against Israel, and you’ll have people calling you a Nazi.
Prioritizing tone policing over fascism policing is a bold move, mods.
Rules don't exist if they're only enforced on those we disagree with.
Wait, why was there a flag at your job site that you needed to stand and salute? That doesn't add up. Maybe we work in different Californias.
Blood relations have no bearing on the character of a person. It is completely irrelevant. Nobody is attacking you for that.
Nazis on the other hand, DO believe that blood relation matters, and you keep protesting that you're not related to any. The problem is that you keep promoting their ideology.
We don't care about your ancestry. Good, normal, healthy people don't care about your blood.
I’m not promoting their ideology. I think you owe me an apology for accusing me of that.
You owe the world an apology for promoting nazi ideology.
Nobody cares about the color of Hitlers eyes. Why do you?
Zombiepirate brought it up.
And why did you care at all to correct them?
I think misinformation should be corrected.
And why did you have that little nugget so close to the top of your mind?
I paid attention in history class. It goes along with correcting other misconceptions. For example, Nazi’s never shaved their heads, like many people might lead you to believe. The Jewish people and prisoners of war were forced to shave their heads in concentration camps. Also, Hitler was not German. Hitler was Austrian, and many of his Nazi’s were of Norse descent, having blond hair and blue eyes. Many people have also speculated that Hitler was part Jewish himself, on his father’s side; harboring a deep resentment towards his own father. I don’t know if that last part was ever proven through dna, but it would be interesting to investigate.
I know a lot about World War 2 because my grandfathers served in the Army and Navy. My grandmother was also a nurse for the Navy during the war. My family didn’t like Hitler.
Nobody gives a shit. Fuck off.
I’ve had so much hate directed towards me with regard to Nazis. I’m not even German. Both sides of my family fought in WW2 against the Germans, and I applied for the army in 2020. Please stop trying to associate me to Nazis.
Then maybe stop using their talking points & rhetoric and denying that Nazis are Nazis if you don't want to be associated with them.
I’m not. I’m just saying that it hurts my feelings to have this guy be called white. There are so many mixed race white supremacists out there, and they make white people look bad. Why are we calling this guy white?
Fuck all the way off.
No. I think this guy needs counseling. I think he is mixed race and having some kind of identity crisis because of it. He obviously aligned himself with a white supremacy group because he feels the need to label himself as white to everyone around him. He should take a 23 and Me, or ancestry dna test. Maybe it will help him discover the rest of his family tree and help him find a healthy social environment that is supportive of his entire racial background.
Fuck all the way off.
