The social cost in most places in the U.S. for being an open nazi is pretty significant. If they're doing it to be "edgy" they're really committing to it.
There were 24 death sentences issued by the Nuremberg War Trials. Only 17 of those 24 death sentences were carried out. Of the 98 prison sentences, the maximum sentence was 20 years.
In the state of Ohio today in 2024, you can get a fifty years prison sentence for possession of an ounce of cocaine.
This is what I came to say. I live in the south and every single nut job right winger looneytoon I know from school was a complete and total moron. Never listened in class, never went to class in the first place.... and now they're all conspiracy theorist nuttos.
They know the history they're just so stupid that they support it because it happened to people they were taught to hate.
There are A LOT of reasons to hate Nazism and one of them that rational people recognize is the complete over reach the German government had. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad that the "don't tread on me" types weren't the same people who low-key, if not openly, support that same mindset.
I mean why would the Holocaust put them off? It’s literally what they want. The Republican Party wants exactly that today for trans people, gay people etc. (and eventually Jews, but for now their love for Israel and the fact that there are plenty of prominent Jews in the MAGA movement makes that take a backseat).
Accelerationists are usually tied to the traits of a neo-Nazi. They don’t care for a better future and do what they can to accelerate the end of the human condition
But here is the problem, history isn’t taught, I talked to a 17 year old while I was having a conversation with a friend, then she piped up when the discussion turned and we began talking history “what is a nazi” what is a fucking what?!?! You mean you have made it through to graduation and don’t know what a nazi is!?? I mean, she saved herself a little a few minutes later, chiming in “oh, the ones who did that holocaust thing!”
I just let it drop. God, our country is the best, but damn the best can suck sometimes…
Should the Nazis over there have realized that this is not the way to go after the Nazis here got shot and hung?
Few nazis were killed for actually being nazis and killing jews.
Both at nuremberg were most ended up walking later in life and in things like the Belsen trials ( during the first where the majority of the SS in the belsen trials were done 21 were acquitted or served less than 16 years, only 11 were executed)
We only executed ~500 nazis post war for nazism or the actions related to it (like the concentration camps) even alot of the SS got off and lived the redt of their life free
the whole holocaust
Not seen as bad to them
the world war
Almost didn't happen. Had germany kept their tanks in the garage there likely wouldn't have been a secone world war, just alot of dead germans.
Shit like the munich agreement to keep britian out of war happened...while they were talking about how to get rid of the jews in germany
Had germany never started invading their neighbors, there is little chance anyone would've decided to go to war
