    Using historical factoids to shield modern Nazi states from criticism is probably the most intellectually bankrupt thing you can do. Fuck off Nazi.

      Using historical factoids to shield modern Nazi states

      How and who exactly am I defending?

      Just because you are engaged with colonialism or genocide, as Israel is currently doing, does not mean they are “modern Nazi states”.

      The Nazi did not invent these things, and generalizing every form of colonialism to equate to Nazism does nothing but excuse the hundreds of years of European imperialism that came before them, and the decades of imperialism that came after.
