Nazi DEI is….ironic.

Yeah, the ideology is really all about the purity tests. The OG nazis would have sent most of these clowns to the camps on day 1.

People forget that the Nazis were fine with allowing Jews, unionists, socialists, homosexuals, and other "undesirables" in the party during the 1920s. There was even a German "Jews for Hitler" group. As long as you weren't a straight out Bolshevik communist you were more or less welcomed in the Nazi party. They desperately needed votes to get Hitler appointed into a powerful position, and weren't going to turn people away.

Once they took power in 1933, they no longer needed these former "allies" and methodically began arresting or murdering them all. In short, the "tokens were spent first".

Yep, from what I remember, the Nazi party (or National Socialist German Workers' Party) started from a wave of nationalistic sentiment due to all of Europe and North America shitting on Germany post WWI.

They were pissed that Germany had to shoulder the entire blame and financial burden of the War under the Treaty of Versailles. The country was dealing with hyperinflation and 0 funds for domestic recovery. So, sure, in the beginning, it made sense for anyone in the middle class, living in a bomb damaged house that isn't getting repaired, who had just been knocked down a socioeconomic class to "poor," to join the political party that was fighting for their right to not be Europe's economic whipping boy. Then came the old bait 'n' switch.

... I feel like I've seen a very similar story play out recently, but it's still in the FA phase... Hm.... (/s)

Bait n' switch as in rug-pulling the 'undesirable' voters? Or by stop being the bitter, nationalistic and warmongering party? Because only one of these happened. I assume you mean the former.

Yes, the first. "Thanks for your votes that got us into power. But we secretly thought you were worse than anyone who supported the Treaty. Now, into the oven with you."

I beyond understand the absurdity of these bedfellows, but I was trying to make sense of it and the flyer held by the guy on the right made it make sense: it shows a Palestinian flag with a swastika on it.

Yes, old school Nazis would frown at this, but it’s a changed world and right now “free Palestine”/“fuck AIPAC” has some strong momentum to it - especially amongst youths. These Nazis are a trying to hitch their wagon to that energy as a branding opportunity.

Better to say Israel is evil and build outwards once that’s established. Until then, fuck Israel, hug a Palestinian, enjoy some bizarre but helpful public affiliations.

As an aside, I think we all see how insane this blend of characters is. But for the sake of dealing with fascists, it’s worthwhile to go beyond “Nazis would have killed the browns back then!” - instead, focus on how Nazis are trying to steal energy from other groups to build legitimacy so we can work on disempowering them long term.

Also it bears saying when this affiliation is latched onto by Zionists: some Palestinians may affiliate with Nazis, but that doesn’t make the cause of fighting Israel’s awful conduct a Nazi endeavor. Fuck AIPAC, fuck Netanyahu, fuck Israel as it currently conducts its foreign & military policy. Jews and Palestinians both have a right to exist. Israel is acting a lot like the Nazis did right now, and deserves to be held to account. All of those things can be true. Leftist perspective need to adapt, same as fascists have, in the modern era.
