    It is really sad how white people are so forgiving of nazis if they are on the same team in some cause. Because anyone that is not a blue-eyed blonde person is seen as an infrahuman and a potential target for those scumbags, and most of the planet doesn't look like that. It is very telling how white liberals in the imperial core have normalized white supremacy so much that is invisible to them.

      Communists are held responsible for every time a person trips over their own shoelaces under an authoritarian 1984 communist regime.

      But if you’re Nazi, they will spend every second and every resource possible to comb through every detail of your life and ancestry before coming to a conclusion of whether you’re good or bad. That, or if they’re lazy, they’ll just assume you’re innocent until proven guilty (the proof is ignored)

      Then they do a surprised wojak face whenever an African or South American leader says “hold on let’s hear Russia out.” Russia has a bunch of Nazis too, but the west can’t even put in the illusion of caring about nazism and white supremacy.

        Case in point, there was a skifield in NZ named after a Nazi. After he died, his obituary said that he won an Iron Cross in the "German Army" which prompted some people to ask questions and go digging.

        Turns out the dude had joined the Waffen SS as a volunteer back when the Waffen SS was an elite formation that had strong ideological requirements for joining. So rightfully outraged, people started asking the skifield operator to rename the field.

        This lead to the operator putting out an absolutely insane statement saying that just because this guy had been in the fucking SS, doesn't mean he personally did any war crimes.

        If you've clicked the link and read the article, you'll already be laughing in disbelief because this dead Nazi mother fucked served the whole war in Das Reich, one of the most infamously war-crimey units even within the SS.

        But yeah, back to your point. A communist gets tarred with all the culpability of people dying in an unpreventable naturally caused famine, but Nazis can have nice things named after them unless it can be shown that they personally shot a baby. Disgusting.

          Dude showed off his swastika-bedazzled medallions, openly praised Hitler (including on a TV doc), and referred to the SS as heroes. So super sketchy from way before his death.

          Anyway, let's see how the locals responded:

          The name “Huber Hut” won’t be coming down, Barrett says, adding a couple of choice words for emphasis.

          people complain that Huber has been the victim of “a hit job” by the media

          “in the end, what he did for this area, is, more than anything, a lot more than what’s happened [in the war].”

          “It’s all those Jews complaining, is it?”

            That's only cool and based if it's apartheid in Palestine :so-true:

          I'm not adding anything but Holy fuck Das Reich was one of the worst. If not for Dirlewanger they'd probably be considered the worst bag of nazis aside from specific guys like Heydrich

        Reminds me of that Lithuanian (?) woman that found out her grandpa was a nazi war criminal and wrote an article like "he was a horrible anti-semite but in contrast he also fought bravely against the soviets, people do be multi-faceted like that" (there is actually no contrast between those two things :stuff:)

      infrahuman

      is this a new one? subhuman seems like the more typical choice when describing nazi rhetoric.

        I think this implies they might be human or "aryan" but only conditionally. Like how Irish people are white now but weren't always and could lose that status.

          Same deal used to apply to :anti-italian-action:

          Germans for all that nazi shit about aryans used to be called "swarthy" and considered less than white by :ukkk:

            Kinda depended on the kind of German. Northern Germans could fit in, southern Germans couldn't. Mostly based on religion or class.

          hmm i see. that's a useful term then. kind of wraps up the fascist use of historical subjugation to justify contemporary subjugation. and the reaction that can inspire.
