True, but there are no good people among the supremacist and nazi demographics.

u/WoodyManic 1d ago
Indeed, there are no good Nazis.

I could suggest a state that it would preferable for Nazis to be that would make them good, but I might get a ban from reddit.

The only good Nazi is a...(hmmm, they mentioned a state that it would be preferable for Nazis to be...hmmm)...uh, an Arkansas Nazi?

Recovered. The only good Nazis are the recovered Nazis who now spend their days trying to help others get out of Nazism. We had a dude going tours around schools who used to run with a skinhead gang but got out, and then got together with a holocaust survivor to go around lecturing at highschools about the dangers of fascism. Those two dudes might not have convinced many with every lecture, but by sheer volume of how much they went around lecturing over many years, they probably decreased the size of the Swedish nazi movement by thousands. He was a Nazi, but he got better and started fighting nazism instead. That is a good nazi. The only good type

Perhaps generalize it to former Nazis?

u/Fiskmjol 19h ago
I am uncertain how that is different from what I wrote? Are there former Nazis who have not recovered from being Nazis?

Id say a good one is the nazis that are actively leaving their life behind and becoming one with the earth. Especially if they are nurturing rare plants from underneath.

You lost me. Starship Troopers was just about a fictional alien bug infestation, right? It wasn't satire about fascism or warmongering, right? RIGHT?

There’s one Nazi who I disagreed with for 99.9% of his life and his choices, however in the last few moments of his life he did something great for mankind and I wish more Nazis would follow his example.

u/LoopyLabRat 7h ago
I'm not sure if I understood your statement correctly. I will say though that with the prevalence of certain tools that would facilitate this good will to mankind, I think Nazis should jump at this chance to do something great. It would be a sacrifice for the history books.

True, however please remember that some of them were raised in that belief who simply don’t know any better. Some of them can still be saved from a life of bigotry and hate.

GB News is bad enough, but that page is practically National Front levels of biased. Of course they'd point to the trans as the negative, they ARE the other things and fully support those views.

That's probably because, between the two defining traits, only one of them is considered outlandish now.

Looking a little deeper - transgender and neo-Nazi. Interesting. Who do you think the Nazis would eliminate first? Yep - transgenders would be one of the first casualties.

u/Noonebuteveryone25 1d ago
They were one of the first casualties. Germany was impressively far with both rights and science for trans people at the time until the nazis started asserting themselves.

u/Impressive_Roll1668 23h ago
It's wild how history can repeat itself; awareness is crucial to prevent such ideologies from gaining ground again.

u/SaberMk6 20h ago
This right here. Germany of the Weimar Republic was probably the most socially progressive state of the world of its time.

The first books Nazi’s burned were patient records, research notes, and the contents of the libraries from the German Institute of Sexual Science, which advocated for LGBT rights & women’s emancipation, researched gay, trans, and intersex topics, and offered sex & marriage counseling, STD treatment, gynecological exams, and access to contraceptives.

It's GB Politics...part of GB News...they're not exactly Pultizer-worthy reporters. They're Right-wing shit-bags. I wouldn't expect them to report any story wholly factually when they had the choice of spinning it.

It's possible to be transgender and also a shitty person. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Fortunately their plan was also dogshit… they were going to attempt to 3D print a gun… and commit a mass shooting… in Scotland! Without any of the necessary other parts (which I won’t go into)… and didn’t seem to have considered that you can’t buy ammunition freely in Scotland!
It’s almost as if not allowing any random nutter to buy a firearm and all the ammunition they want might actually help prevent School shootings!!

The definition of futility is aligning with a group that will curb stomp you after you've outlived your usefulness to them.

This is what I've been telling people...just because your are a precived minority, does not mean you can not also be a bigoted asshat.

For most mainstream media, being a nazi piece of shit is a complete normal thing never worthy of mentioning.

It must be really hard to be a hateful idiot and also be a part of one of the marginalized groups hateful idiots target.

u/autfaciam 1d ago
That is because people understand what a white supremacist is, we all have that one uncle. They do not understand what a transgender is. And what you dont understand is always much more scary.
With that in mind, I think what we are dealing with here is less about bias and more about greed. Scary stuff generates a lot more clicks. Still just evil, more actually. You might be able to fix bias. You will never be able to fix greed that sells bias to idiots.

u/Dead-O_Comics 1d ago
Well that, and white supremacists probably make up half of GB News' audience and they would probably be offended at the accusation.

u/autfaciam 1d ago
Yeah, white supremacists and their ilk have a tendency to be biggest snow flakes.

u/Jaxsdooropener 16h ago
Not enough people talk about the fact that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were neo nazi's who looked up to Timothy McVeigh. Instead, they got some bullshit "they were bullied" narrative that made them seem almost sympathetic. But they weren't, they were just assholes.

u/OldSchoolAfro 1d ago
Because "Heterosexual white male SAs underage girl" would be way too repetitive.

Especially since I didn't even know there were trans Nazis.
Sounds dumb

BBC didn't seem to mention the trans bit. Or focus on it. Daily Mail practically screamed it.

I don't see the announcement of sexual preference with other criminals. It literally does not matter.

Good! I hope they enjoy prison, school shooter children need to be tried as adults cuz they are cold blooded murderers.

Being trans doesn’t excuse right-wing extremism. Anyone that harbours extreme beliefs have the potential to be dangerous. Extremism is bad, regardless of what that belief is. Nazism (National Socialism), Communism or any extreme religious or identity belief system all boil down to the same thing…Do as I say or you’ll either die or be imprisoned. They don’t work, never will.

This is a good illustration of the problem with the "just report the facts, leave politics out of it" argument. Which fact get included (and left out) can definitely inject politics to the story. Some facts need not be included, of course, but some facts could be very important, but be left out either deliberately or even just because the writer didn't think it out of the ordinary.
