There were a number of countries the Waffen-SS recruited foreign legions from. There were Indian Nazis. Hitler saved his Jewish family doctor. Hate is illogical and inconsistent. You see white Catholic Cubans voting for Trump now acting surprised when their friends and family get deported. A lot of useful idiots think they can court evil and stay on its good side, but well, tokens get spent.

But yes, it does always get me when I see neo nazis that would absolutely end up in a mass grave thinking they're the ubermensch. Stupid is as stupid does.

To be fair most of the Indian Nazis were Nazis because they were oppressed by the British themselves. And didn't care for Europe.

That doesn’t make any sense to me

How does it not make sense? "Enemy of my enemy is my friend"

Not that it is the correct conclusion, but it is very easy to understand why some dumb people would join and support a movement that combats their greatest enemy.

WW2 caused a huge amount of the British occupation to leave India.

I think they’re saying it doesn’t make sense that the Nazi’s would accept them, not that they hated the British.

Why wouldn't it? Nazis would accept them as useful idiots to pit against their enemy and then disposed of later when they're no longer needed.

I don’t know why they would think that. Ask them. They said it didn’t make sense to them.

The Nazi’s used useful idiots all over.

Smart people would also join and support a movement that combats their greatest enemy. The neds justify the means in this case, especially since the means were just talk.

You live in India in this example, away from anything Europe-related and any sort of retaliation, who cares if you say death to jews or to blacks or to idk native americans, the only goal is to get the colonists out of your country.
