Yes. A lot of nazis came out of 4chan and all the South Park Libertarian "ha ha, I am just making jokes" stupidity. Gamergate and then The Alt-Right are perfect examples of that. It is all jokes about The Jews and gas chambers while also hearing about how The Blacks and The Mexicans are taking jobs. This is neo-nazi 101 and has been their open playbook for over fifty years.
Again, this is not that. This is not "oh, ha ha, that frog doesn't make you a nazi. It just means you have the same sense of humor". These are direct references to nazi ideology
Both are incredibly dangerous and a great way of normalizing bigotry. One of them is "secret handshakes" in public. The other is getting on a podium and sieg heiling.
So no, it is not "all the same shit" and people like you who are clearly pissy about folk getting mad at you spamming pepe are just normalizing nazis. So kindly fuck off with that "if we acknowledge when people are acting like nazis we turn them into bogeymen. It is much better to ignore it and hope they go away" bullshit.
If it walks like a nazi and quacks like a nazi then you tell it to fuck off and play in traffic. And if it wasn't a nazi? They apologize and stop quacking.
Again, this is what you're not getting, when you tell a nazi to fuck off and they apologize and stop quacking, that just means they've stopped quacking at you, it doesn't mean they've stopped being a Hitler Humper, you're just being naive or clinging to some misbelief that people aren't easily susceptible to this shit, and that the amount of racist and nihilistic people is much higher to than you realize.
So... because people do bad stuff we shouldn't tell them to fuck off for doing bad stuff?
And one of the best ways to prevent people from being in fluenced? Ostracize the bastards. Basically from WW2 up until the late 90s, Nazis were the designated bad guy. Neonazis were the bad guys in the Very Special Episodes of boy meets world and the like. And that made it clear "Nazis are bad. Don't be a fucking Nazi"
But between South Park normalizing "its funny to make fun of the Jews" and the strong push back against having the designated stabbing bags? It reached the point that people lost their god damned mind over the devs at Machine Games saying "fuck Nazis" at the Keighleys a few years back.
And that leads to stupidity where people no longer view them as subhuman to the point of only being worthy of scorn.
So yeah. I am gonna keep telling Nazis to go fuck themselves with strong implications that the world would be a better place if they weren't in it. And I am going to stop responding to you until you explain why you are so adamant about protecting them from ridicule and scorn... even though it is increasingly clear why.
Are you misreading everything on purpose?
Sea Lioning is a thing, but I'm not sure if they are doing that, probably just doesn't want to admit the Nazi problem is bigger than they think it is.
