    These are the same people who say “the Confederacy was Democrats!” Because they have no way of looking past the absolute surface level.

      They bite on even historical / antiquated propaganda and marketing. The socialism in “national socialism” was a marketing device to say “we care about workers too you guys!!!”. Nazis cared about the workers and respected socialism about as much as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” cares about democracy, people, a republic, or even Korea.

      🤦 It’s the world’s biggest suckers falling for it again and again.

      Don’t say that, they 100% can and are just being disengenuous.

        Maybe, but if you’re dumb enough to believe that the Confederacy or the Nazis were the good guys you’re dumb enough to believe anything.

          Intelegence has nothing to do with it, they are simply evil people who don’t care about others.
