You know, for supposedly not being Nazis, MAGA Nazis seem to sure keep doing a lot of Nazi salutes.

I give it a week tops before Donald Trump, as President of the United States flashes a seig heil.

I am 47 years old. I have seen more Nazi salutes in the last 30 days than I have ever seen before in my entire lifetime. This isn't an accident. It isn't mental illness. And it sure as shit isn't funny. This is intentional. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement.

They will claim to be offended by you calling them what they are, while secretly enjoying it.

They will use it to claim you are being hysterical and overreacting, fooling people who can't seem to recognize danger when it's in front of them.

They have no shame, no soul, no empathy. And they think they've won, which is why they aren't at all afraid to show their true colors now.

Same. The feelings of a Nazi are irrelevant.

My only worry is how confident they are about flaunting it. I know they're all pretty stupid - you have to be stupid in many respects to be a Nazi in the first place - but the confidence is worrying. I do hope their wake up call is nasty.

@mike805 @realtegan I deny the existence of a "dogwhistle Nazi salute". If there is any, single, one action a person could do to show they're a Nazi, that action is a Nazi salute. You don't do it by accident. The people who are telling you you can, are Nazis. They're gaslighting you.

"@mike805 @realtegan Niego la existencia de un "saludo nazi con silbidos para perros". Si hay una sola acción que una persona podría hacer para demostrar que es nazi, esa acción es el saludo nazi. No lo haces por accidente. Las personas que te dicen que puedes hacerlo son nazis. Te están engañando."

Universities with higher education, beeing eloquent, Who sound honest and appear to have integrity AND come along with a lot of money and network Those are the leader of the goats. In reality they don‘t fucking care.

My grandfathers (one who died) and father who fought in the war against the Nazis are turning over in their grave along with the millions of innocents who were murdered by fascists. What happened to never again?

I think the problem is that most people assume that when you use terms like Nazi or racist, it's an empty insult like calling someone an idiot. People also tend to assume that the terms are always an exaggeration, because nobody could ever be as bad as the "worst person ever".

So it makes it impossible to call out these behaviours. Unfortunately, my experience has been that people need to get hurt first to take a threat seriously. It's why people didn't act until after the holocaust.

I don't think that, I'm just saying what most people (Americans especially) think when they hear it. What I think is that this is a result of poor education, and a gradual loss of living memory regarding the holocaust.

People are beginning to forget, and Donald Trump is the consequence of that.

Underestimating the threat posed by Naziism is what results in more Nazis. These people either do not know what happened during the holocaust, or they don't understand the correlation between what they are doing and the horrors of genocide.

Forgetting means people can romanticize the Nazis, because they become something fictional or hypothetical. 20% of young Americans think the holocaust was a myth.

That is 1 in 5 of all young people in the US. They don't know what they're supporting.

I don't think any but a very, very small minority of people who actually knows what it is like would actually support it. That is why it became so anathema once images of genocide became widespread and firsthand accounts from victims became widely accessible thanks to modern media technologies.

It's just something their grandparents and their parents told them about, stripped of all the ugliness to make it seem appealing. It's their only frame of reference.

Nowadays, 'racism' is being used not just to point out discrimination based on race but also on things like wealth and religion (even by scientists 🥴). The word is even used to describe situations without discrimination at all, mainly by people who aim to hold on to some false sort of victimhood.
Luckily so far, the ones calling out fascists for what they are have been spot on. It is clear to most of us that evil people are not just a thing of the past.

You're being very patient with someone who seems to care so little about language that she might as well have a hamster dance on her keyboard to reply. Unless her use of language is a tactic...
Further down the thread, you can see @𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight" doesn't want to understand what someone rightfully says about sharing the images in her post either. Everybody who understands the workings of language in its broadest sense (the combination of all our symbols of all sorts) knows that spreading a symbol helps to normalise its meaning.
Thank you for caring about language as much as you do! Thank you for noting and clarifying the different meanings between different words! Please, instead of wasting your time, spend it sharing your knowledge with people who want to learn.
