I think their "Nazi phase" is still visible in their Twitter history so people are referencing their old Nazi tweets. Clearly they're not embarrassed about it enough if they haven't deleted them or their account.
There was a time where "former nazis" who talked about their experience in the nazi rabbit hole and how they escaped it and used to rake in a lot of views, around the time breadtubers presented themselves as a necessary force pushing against the dominant white supremacist narrative that had taken hold in youtube after gamergate. They were popular and lovingly embraced because they reinforced this fake narrative that made breadtubers so popular in the first place, even nowadays if you press enough, some people will justify Vaush's shitty takes by stating that "he converts a lot of people" even though the beliefs of these former nazis go thoroughly unexamined and we don't even have a way to quantify that. I assume this is partly the reason why this person chooses to wear that tag of former nazi with some pride, in fact, they became relatively popular BECAUSE they identify as such, ironically enough.
why would anyone admit to being a ("former") Nazi? such an L.
in this case it looks like they were doing so as apologia for nazis

Converts can be a good propaganda tool and self crit is important. Just… not in this case lol
