Nazi Sympathizers In The Community
What are your thoughts, over the years I have found that there are many Nazi Sympathizers In The Community or who have passed through the Community. They may not support them directly, but they do not denounce the ideology or political stances either.
These people have the freedom to express their ideas. And I have the freedom to call them on it. And I have the freedom to call it what it is, ignorance. If you meet a Nazi sympathizer, do yourself and them a favor, call them on their beliefs. Most of the time they don't even know why they believe the way they do. With a few well placed questions, its easy to expose the ignorance for what it really is.
I guess I haven't seen this in the community. I have certainly seen those that do not think that there should be a Israel, at least not where it is today. Can I understand why Nazism actually occurred? Actually, the castration that was performed on Germany after WWI really set a seed for this movement. The other driver, I believe, was the revolution in Russia. Following the revolution, there were many rebels yelling about the socialist/communistic good that could come from revolutions.
Nazism today has become a moniker for a racism, genocide, tyranny, antisemitism, aggression and pretty much all that is bad not to mention its poster boy. As a whole, I cannot find Nazism tolerable. However, if you break its ideology down, then there are things like nationalism and a strong military that I do not find bad. That being said, I would not consider my self a sympathsizer.

The timing of this and what has been said since leads me to believe that this had me in mind.
If I am a Nazi, that would make me the only pro-Israeli, anti-fascism, pro-freedom Nazi in existence. I've been called a Nazi before and I'll probably be called one again. Normally I get called a Nazi if I'm in uniform (more frequently with the US one than the German one sadly) or I prove someone wrong in class. Although I don't appreciate the accusation, there is no point getting worked up over it as nothing is accomplished or gained from it.
I've got to wonder if it is Nazi week or something? When I logged in there was nearly a solid line of swastikas on the recent posts page.
