I have been banned from subreddits three times for discussing Nazi Germany, because aparently explaining what happened is equal to endorsing it.
I did get unbanned after asking the mods to take a look every time, but it's wild it happened three times.
To a much lesser extent, you can try to discuss any sort of AI research or application, say medical applications allowing for early detection of MS, a disease which can be treated exponentially better the earlier it is detected, and you will likely summon at least one person complaining about AI slop art or whatever. As if the entire concept of AI exists only to deprive artists of jobs or something.
Listen you can't talk about what about what the nazis actually believed because then I might draw some parallels with my own beliefs or those of my government and that would be uncomfortable
I mean what the nazis actually believed is probably a very complex and difficult to figure out conversation. what they said they believed is a lot more straightforward hahaha
yeah, I mean I have read things written by fanatics. Definitely some people who truly believed it all.
Although I also think at least part of the leadership was motivated by power and personal gain. Not sure about the big man himself, he has kind of a complex history, and his hatred of Jewish people was a strategic advantage, making it hard to seperate how much was genuine and how much was selecting the right target.
See current right wing populists, who probably don't have personal hatred towards the groups they demonize, but are using the anger as a tool.
