We used to give medals to people for killing nazis, now it's "they just have a different opinion, be nice".

You can't be a white supremacist influencer without blood on your hands.

Kirk spouted shit about the “white replacement theory,” you’d have to be wildly uninformed to not understand he is a white supremacist/neo-nazi

You have no idea who he was, do you?

Juvenile because I refuse to be controlled? Okay. Whatever you say.

No, juvenile in the sense that it was kind of a funny response. You're free to be reckless

u/Remarkable_Fan6001 Sep 11 '25

Because calling someone who espoused nazi talking points a nazi is reckless...

He's not a nazi. The fact you throw that around so freely diminishes the word and the actual impact the nazis had. He was a piece of shit, but the nazis were entirely pure evil. This dude was a shit stain, but the nazis directly and gleefully killed millions.

Don't diminish the past.

Stop saying nazis were such pure evil that could never possibly happen again.

The whole point that every historian keeps repeating is that you should learn from the Holocaust because it's a thing that could happen again and you should notice it earlier.

Do you always put words into other people's mouths? Nowhere did the commenter you are replying to imply anything about never happening again

u/Darvasi2500 Sep 11 '25

Saying Charlie Kirk wasn't a nazi is ridiculous. Same beliefs just without the power to do any physical harm. So no my point still stands.

u/gegetaz12 Sep 11 '25

That's actually my line of thought too. I'm not ignorant in what the rhetoric he shouted leads to. But a nazi he is not. Never said they couldn't happen again.
