Why do people still give a fuck about these two?

Ah ok, I'm glad we didn't get into Holocaust denial shit. But yeah I agree completely.

It's just that holding up Nazis as an ultimate evil does not mean leftists evade the evil label at all-- don't allow yourself to accept the idea that Nazism is the opposite of communism, because thats what leftists want you to believe, and they argue in bad faith.

Accepting that narrative plays into their hands because we start to say things like "Nazis weren't that bad" or "we must judge their actions in context" which downplay Nazis as an ultimate evil in order to say communism is bad. Then they get ammunition to call us actual Nazis, which would be warranted in that case.

Anyone worth talking to knows Nazism isn't related to the right wing in America, and no one needs to play the "who is the worse evil empire" olympics. The "narrative" we should be following should not be reactionary like leftists are; just look at the reality and we come to the conclusion that Stalin and Hitler were both evil, for the simple reason they orchestrated genocide. Downplaying Nazism is not only counterproductive, but it makes us lose faster.

There is a high demand where I'm from, but I'm not surprised at all... what do you expect from city liberals?

Just because they fought a war against communism means nothing. In my eyes, death camps and genocide = evil, even if you were killing commies along the way.

There's witnesses still alive today, the buildings are literally physically still there in Germany, you can actually see for yourself... there's thousands of primary accounts from all sides and untampered pictures and videos... its not hard to find if you look, and frankly, I don't feel like looking at those pictures any more than I had to in school. Death camps aren't even all of it, if you went to school in America I know they burned it all into your brain too, its actually quite hard to overstate how evil it was. Don't let your hatred of communists turn into Nazi apologism, and take a long look at the narrative/agenda you're choosing to accept brother

I'm not attacking you bud, I think we're nearly in agreement. I was saying there's physical proof of the death camps in Germany, which should put them in the evil category just as it does with Soviet gulags and Chinese camps in Xinjiang. It's just weird to see any positive connotation with the word Nazi in America after we kicked their ass within living memory.

Academia, especially in the history/social sciences, is so far detached from reality its hard to believe

What, we can't say Nazis were evil because some lefties agree with us? Sure the left calls everything Nazis these days, but we are talking about the real Nazis we beat in WW2. The death camps are still there you know, Germany takes it very seriously if you've ever been there

I go to the most liberal university on planet earth- the only negative things about Biden I hear is that he's not far-left ENOUGH.

For all the left's hype about renewables, it says a lot that they ditched nuclear.

Even if all of what you say is true, we can obviously put commies and nazis both firmly in the evil camp. Patriots fought and died in wars against both. Nazis don't deserve rose colored glasses

most college students are hyper liberals in my experience. either because they really are interested in politics, or they want to be seen as woke/fit in.
