    If Hitler came back to see this group of mixed race young gay men chanting his name he would immediately kill himself a second time

    I’d not dive into Hitler’s headspace to confirm this, but in my opinion that is a completely misguided take. Almost in a territory of anti-gay people with internalized homophobia or something.

    No, like, stop. Don’t even indulge in what Hitler would do to this guys, because it makes this imaginary Hitler somehow valid. Don’t point on how they are unfit in a fucking Nazi Germany.

    Instead, I propose you another route. How they are now unfit in the current times as failures as persons. How their current ambitions are not fit with the better world that may be built without them.

    Don’t come down to call them f-word race traitors. Call them grifters and liars, and stay at that. I don’t feel like going into nazi ideology to find their incompatibility to it is the right course.

      Yeah. Also fascists are notoriously hypocritical. Their leaders in particular don’t actually believe their own propaganda, they will approve and condemn whatever is conducive to their politics and propaganda. Why would we take their horrid worldview more seriously than they do.
