No thanks, replacing one imperialist for another won’t help the world.

‘Openly courting fascism’ is a bit of an understatement, tbh. Elon Musk did a sieg heil and Trump wants to deport minorities. Can’t get clearer than that.

The Zapatists, of course. Or if we go by past ones, the Makhnovshchina movement!

A mass movement to have liberation from authoritarianism AND capitalism? Count me in!

Yeah, this is my stance as well. There are also better high-end alternatives nowadays, like an electric BMW.

Just hopping in to say you’re based for doing so. Thank you, very cool.

How ironic.

“A nazi thinks people suck!!! So if I’m behaving NORMALLY, then I’m the problem!” Is essentially what you say.

Who then is the problem? If you can’t see that for yourself, I suggest you remove your profile from Lemmy.

Aah, thank you! Interesting, didn’t know that that was a thing.

Maybe you should shut up instead of thinking someone is an asshole for disliking a nazi? What the fuck are you on?

The brother chose that path a long fucking time ago when he turned to nazidom.

The brother is responsible for tearing apart himself from family, not vice versa.

The bigger man has standards and doesn’t meet a fascist.

Family is family but I wouldn’t wish to go to a fascist’s marriage, ever.

The one who is petty, would be the Nazi, for refusing to be normal. If you look bad because the Nazi calls you petty, then so be it. We are people, we are civil, and we have standards.

Lmao “not a good way to make a point” – it’s an excellent one, precisely because it’s so impactful.

Your argument is like “no we should wait, pray, and do fucking nothing” after a school shooting happened.

If it siegs, heils, and screams discrimination, it’s a Nazi. No ifs, buts, or copes.

That guy certainly isn’t a run of the mill liberal/conservative if he tries to cop out his way out of that.

Also, Jewish advocacy groups worldwide aren’t exactly a good one to consult – as they often have been shown not to be independent, but work together with Israel’s government, which has a habit of ethnically cleansing Palestinians, like the current genocide in Palestine. The victims are turning into oppressors there, and that saddens me – ideally, Israeli, Jews, Muslims, Palestinians, agnosts and all alike should be able to live together in harmony.

That said, concerning Nazi aspects: assuming all other conditions are satisfied, you don’t even need to hate only Jews to be a Nazi. You can hate Palestinians and be a Nazi. Or queers. The original Nazis did that too. We were put up in concentration camps for being queer. And Musk hates those.

And your answer is, “Noooo, I don’t think he was sieg heiling”?! Come on.

You cannot be a good person until you actively work for the liberation of people, instead of voting against their rights. And reactionaries (that’s what I call ““conservatives””) do the opposite: they want us to go back to the Middle Ages.

With due respect, but your opinion should be reconsidered immediately.

I haven’t heard of 2S before, but what you say is right. Keep being supportive, protect their privacy, and ensure that people who are marginalising them, get the right consequences.

Maybe the Nazi needs to listen instead of vice versa.

Comrade, what you’re proposing is conversationally moving the goalposts. Nazis are pushing society apart, not us. We simply remained normal.

Moving the goalposts… Nazis WANT to move those. They are allies of capitalists, because Nazis favour a very top-down economic structure, where large coorporations work with the government to maximise profit. In that regard. Nazis often think that if they bootlick coorporations and dictators enough, they can acquire all the wealth and power – which they don’t.

If someone needs to reconcile, it’s the Nazis by denazifying entirely. Not the normal people. THEN we can fight capitalism together as united forces.

The emotionally unstable one is the Nazi :3

Wanting to have people die/suffer for being Jewish, Palestinian, queer, or whatever, that IS emotional instability. Normal people don’t want others to die. :3

Realise that you’re choosing to listen to Nazis rather than not interact with them, or not to listen to them.

Sure, someone is family. But as someone for whom family is important – even I would have my borders. If that family member were to constantly make horrid remarks – would you then really want to spend that energy having a dinner with them? The OP already has tried to talk several times and express how it bothers them. But the Nazi ignores that and doesn’t change their behaviour.

Then it’s clear: for your mental health, it’s better not to talk with them anymore. Some people, however extreme, are reconcillable. But those where you reach out multiple times, and they don’t wish to listen - there it’s a waste of time.

Nazis are way more of an echo chamber than normal people are, and the only answer to that is to close the door behind, with a note: “will talk with you only, once you change your behaviour”.

OP has tried to reach out multiple times to address their concerns, but all reactions from the family member boil down to not wanting to listen to these concerns. Is the OP then creating an echo chamber, or is the Nazi creating that for himself? Take your time to reflect on what your decision entails.
