    Interesting, just to check, do you know from where the term Nazi (National Socialist) came from?

      They are the ones doing iron cross and swastika tattoos and giving heil hitler salutes. What to call them?

        I would call them socialist with hard sense for nationalism. It’s kind of extreme left, something like Woke movement this days.

          Well I doubt they are very interested in the socialist or even the nationalist part of the movement. They just drool over the brief period of time when Nazi germany was extremely powerful and they somehow have the delirious notion that the exclusive by invitation VIP Aryan club also includes red neck Americans whose only contribution to their society is walking around in public spaces with automatic rifles.

      From the same intellectual honesty that “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” comes from.

      “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.”

      — Jean-Paul Sartre
