I downscaled it this time.

    I assume you mean AfD

    “The literal Nazis don’t want literal Nazism”

    You sure about that

        Nazism isn’t necessarily antisemitic, but totalitarian, race based fascism. Hitler didn’t hate just the Jews, they were just the most convenient and plentiful enemy available in Germany at that time (we didn’t have many black slaves in the country for example, plus the Jews were a tried and tested enemy due to widespread antisemitic tendencies in the christian population).

        He also didn’t care for most other races and ethnic groups and wanted them either to serve as a subservient class to the aryans (some eastern europeans for example), deport and “contain” them in their countries of origin (iirc most asian peoples) or, as with the jews, exterminate them by various means such as forced labor.

          No, Hitler specifically hated Jews. Just because he had unfavorable opinions about other “races,” his main goal was to eliminate the Jews. Let’s not rewrite history here.

            I agree, let us not do that, let us not pretend he was only after jews. Many other marginalized groups or “inferior” ethnicities were sent to the same death camps.
