So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…

L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.

    Is it though? Or are we just calling more and more things nazi that in reality aren’t? I can only speak for myself but in my case that word has entirely lost its meaning. It’s basically calling someone stupid.

        I love people saying we’re just calling more things nazi when a major USA party has been actively using the American nazi party logos, slogans and ideas for years.

        And the person who posted it is far more likely to be an edgy teenager than a literal nazi. My question still stands.

          Quite a few of the original nazis were those too, or started that way. Groups like that are known for recruiting the youth.

          Open your fuckin eyes, dude. It’s blatant and not hidden anymore. If you don’t see it, that’s because you’re choosing not to.

            I see the huge demand for nazies but I literally never encounter them anywhere. People are calling Elon Musk a nazi for example so pardon my scepticism when I hear claims that it’s on a rise.

              No, they are calling Elmo antisemite for agreeing to a post claiming all Jews hate whites.

              Antisemites aren’t Nazis, but they are close.

              Trump on the other hand is literally out there calling for dictatorship and throwing all his enemies into prison, while blaming migrants for everything.

              You can ignore the world around you, but the rest of us see the connections.

              Anyway, the only good Nazi is a dead one, this includes the people who only do so to be edgy.

          Nazi jokes aren’t funny. They’re dangerous. Teenagers who make those jokes deserve to be treated as a danger.

      Found the Nazi. You’re welcome to interpret whether this is meant literally or if I’m using your definition.

        if 5 people are sitting together, and 4 of them proudly proclaim to be nazis, and the 5th person doesn’t leave - there are 5 nazis sitting together
