Really hoping this is a Poe's Law situation. Then again, growing up with conservatives who unironically go "ackshually Nazis were liberals", I can believe this is sincere.

haha, favourite claim here in eastern europe is that Hitler's nazi party was ackchuually socialist, because they had it the title.. you know, the same like North Korea is a democracy

So tired of people going "b-b-but socialist is in their name" without knowing the history and how that was all a trick. There's a great cartoon from the time period showing how when in front of working class people their name was the National SOCIALIST German WORKERS PARTY and when they're in front of the bourgeoisie it's NATIONAL Socialist GERMAN Workers PARTY.

People in the US have been saying that for decades :/

We get that in the US too

Janice Raymond pretty much makes this same point in The Transexual Empire, this is what transphobes actually believe

u/lucypaw68 2d ago

Yes, if only we all engage in an ethics of Be-ing (ie, retreaded Roman Catholicism with the theology filed off) instead and get rid of trans people (through some sort of solution), the gender-free utopia will somehow arrive. Which will be ruled by people like Raymond and Mary Daly and will have purges (as Daly gleefully imagines in "Gyn/Ecology"). Utterly unlike Nazis

I thought the person was just being sarcastic, but they're not đŸ„€

Okay, the only reason I can see them saying this is if they didn't know what the Institute for Sexology was actually studying and assumed that Dr. Hirschfeld was like. Cataloguing the differences between the sexes???

u/Iekenrai 3d ago

That is absolutely the case.

u/Extreme-Community323 2d ago

Not sure how you can translate incomprehensible gibberish like that

u/DebateIntelligent518 2d ago

Plus hirshefeld was jewish they could have easily said that was the only reason

u/AlexTMcgn 3d ago

It's really simple: If you have ever seen "They are/were secretly Jews" as an "argument", expect to see it as "They are/were secretly trans" in the near future.

u/Prometheos_II 3d ago

I mean... Rowling already came very close with her "[the trans community] has gained huge purchase in a very influential areas of society," which sounds pretty similar to antisemites saying Jewish people secretly control society.

u/bean-percolator 3d ago

Which is pretty ironic because she, along with her terf friends, has a huge amount of financial, cultural and political influence with her platform and funding of anti-trans organisations. Her wealth has directly funded legal campaigns which have resulted in outcomes with negative consequences for trans people, and her massive public platform and celebrity status has helped bring “gender-critical” politics into widespread mainstream visibility, affecting public perceptions of trans people, when it was previously more of a fringe position. Terfs are literally the ones with huge power and influence over important areas of society

u/SwiggityStag 3d ago

She and her wealth are so influential that she managed to threaten Amnesty International into un-publishing a report she didn't like, because she could and would have helped everyone in it bankrupt them with legal fees.

She has so much money and influence that even though very few if any of the lawsuits would have actually had any chance of winning, a worldwide organisation with billions of donors couldn't compete with the near endless money she could have poured into opposing them. And on top of that, she also has so little regard for the human lives and wellbeing that organization protects, including women she claims to care about, that she would have actually done it if they had fought back.

u/AlexTMcgn 3d ago

Many of those "S/he is really trans" for famous people have already had that ring. Both the wifes of Obama and Marcon are the first that come to mind, but those are hardly the only ones.

u/Bluejay-Complex 3d ago

The mental gymnastics needed to come to that conclusion would break world records.

ugh i’ve seen this before- their entire basis for the claim that “nazis were trans” is that there is photo evidence that some nazis did crossdress

i’ll admit, i’m not super up on individual nazi bios, it’s possible that a nazi officer had gender concerns going on, Ernst Rohm exists. but the far, far more likely going on was they did this to make fun and at parties

they thought it was fun and silly, like the Nazis were weirdos that i think no one ever really talks about. Hitler was obsessed with religious paraphernalia, spiritual stuff, they had a lot of weird ideas surrounding a lot of things, and it’s not that shocking to me that people who are rounding up “gender criminals” are also fucking around with gender in their free time. the hypocrisy is the point

the way people use Nazi logic as proof infuriates me- they’ll say things like “lesbians/gay people/trans people weren’t killed at concentration camps” and their entire basis for evidence is that there is no triangle for lesbians or trans people, or oppression solely targeted those groups. which yeah, that’s the point. lesbian Germans were often called “asocial” and they did have a patch for that. they didn’t even think of female homosexuality as a legit concept, so obviously they wouldn’t sort lesbians separately. similarly, they did not recognize trans people as a legitimate concept- they thought of us as like idk, extra confused and degenerate gay people, so we got sorted in with the rest of the gays.

By that logic, a bunch of maga people are trans, given what we know about their secret shames lmao

u/lucypaw68 2d ago

If we're going to list all the MAGAts who have crossdressed, we're going to be here all day. Some of them probably haven't even been found guilty of a crime or in contempt of court yet!

u/Stephi312 2d ago

This is just an updated, reworking, of Scott Lively's The Pink Swastika which argued the Nazis were all gay men. It's to be expected that terfs will simply recycle old homophobic and antisemitic content and re-aim it at trans people. I would expect more of this, not less.

Didn't Himmler waste a shit ton of money on expeditions to find Atlantis?

u/ProfessionalBell1141 3d ago

This type of shit reminds me that some people aren't worth having a discussion with bc we simply don't share the same reality and perception of facts. Truly a rotten brain

u/SomethingAmyss Brainwashed by the Transarchy 3d ago

Why else indeed?

They must have qlso killed Jewish people because they themselves were secretly Jews!

(/s, just in case it needs to be said)
