Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes

Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now

Anyone else noticing the same or just me?

There's not exactly nuance when you're dealing with a world that is growing far right, and has only hatred to show.

Maybe the radical is the Nazi, not the need to stamp out Nazism?

The creed everyone should have is: the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Humanity has fought against fascism 85 years ago, and some people are thinking the same things as fascists now.

Comrade. Do not deny, defend, or depose the past.

The same is happening now as in the quote, just add queers and Muslims to it. I see your perspective, but what you are saying effectively comes over as, "oh no! a poor Nazi getting threatened!", when the better action would be to stop and think:

Is it better that tolerance is intolerant against intolerance? Or should tolerance mean allowing hatred to destroy that very tolerance?
