Agreed, for the most part. I'm never going to be impartial and seek understanding with a racist Nazi. They will have to understand my fist.

That's fun to say, but where they balk is they think you draw too big of a circle around groups to label them "nazis."

So to them, you may as well think anyone who likes guns is a nazi.

Well they should stop actingike nazis if theyre gonna be so fragile about it. No amount of you explaining their mindset will make that mindset okay

What if the angle would be that you understand the underlying needs and feelings that are being expressed as support for Nazism?

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

What if you showed us evidence for that actually working in any meaningful sense, in order to stop people enabling fascists?
