      I sincerely doubt he is related to any Nazis at all. He doesn’t look German, Austrian, or Norwegian. Nothing about this man looks like he would be placed into the same groups as Neo Nazis. I think this poor fool needs to spit into a 23 and Me tube

        Oh, you think that ideology is transmitted genetically?

        How very fascist of you. Yeah, I see that 88.

          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.

                  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.

                    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.

              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?

        He was certainly marching with Nazis.

        That puts him squarely in that camp. IDGAF about his genetics; I care about his ideology, DragonTangram88.

            That is not the entire definition of “Nazi”. You have lots to learn.

            https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Nazi

            a: one who espouses the beliefs and policies of the German Nazis : FASCIST

            b: one who is likened to a German Nazi : a harshly domineering, dictatorial, or intolerant person

            So, yes, Jews can be Nazis. It’s an ideology.

        Thank you, DragonTangram88, very cool.

        Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler. The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.

          I was born in 1988. You’re seeing an association where there is none. Nazi’s wouldn’t like my blood type. I’m O-. They also wouldn’t like my faith; I’m Catholic. I can’t change the year I was born. You can change how hurtful you are being towards me.

            Yeah ok. That’s possible but if you’ve been on the internet for a second, you’ve already seen this shit and would avoid it.

            Or you don’t care if you look a little like a Nazi supporter. Which is fine for most white people since their privilege can protect them.

            But then you come in here defending Nazi’s so fuck off with that noise.
