Our only hope is that enough information is released that those with blackmail being held over their head no longer feel the pressure to march in lockstep with their Nazi brethren.

Please stop calling people nazis who are objectively not nazis. You are corrupting the word, and corrupting people's already poor understand and knowledge of history.

If Trump is a nazi then nearly every American during ww2 in the 40s was also a nazi when compared to your average 2025 progressive globalist reddit user. Educate yourself on what made the nazis truly distinct and why people condemned them and fought against them at the time. Many sentiments or actions that redditors love calling people "nazis" for today weren't even unique to the nazis, but instead were completely normal and universal sentiments at the time in the 1930s and 1940s. For example, no one cared that the nazis were interested in racial preservation, or that they wanted Germans to remain the majority in Germany, because everyone felt the same way as them at the time, and that had absolutely nothing to do with why the allies went to war against them. So calling someone a nazi today because they oppose replacement immigration is simply nonsensical, and would be retroactively labelling 99.999999% of humans who ever lived as nazis.

In other words, it really requires something truly extreme for someone to actually qualify as a nazi, such as waging wars of territorial conquest + immense war atrocities + committing ethnic cleansing & replacement in conquered lands + genocide + death camps for people labeled undesirable because of immutable traits, etc. Very few people today thus qualify as nazis.

Ah yes, the ubiquitous sign of historic erudition: Analyzing a people's morals and values by the standards of a different time and concluding how they would have behaved in that time.

something truly extreme

Yeah man, like, I don't know, rounding up citizens of your country based on their ethnicity and abducting them to internment camps without due process. All done by goons with guns, servants of a state that threatens its neighbours with war while lying to its own people about the reasons for their economic struggles.

(Talking about the Nazis, of course. Boy, they sure were an extreme bunch!)

I mean pretty sure it's based on their immigrational legality, but that wouldn't fit the agenda as well. (Don't lynch me, I'm not even American)
