      User calls for far-right content to be removed whilst using far-right terminology. The cognitive dissonance must be excruciating.

        It’s bizarre to see isn’t it? Trying to insult people by accusing them or being… you.

        But they can’t see it. The entire depth of thought seems to be “Nazis are bad and I am good therefore I can’t be a Nazi”.

        It doesn’t matter that their list of undesirables is virtually identical, or that their violent solutions are virtually identical, or that the guy standing next to them has a SS tattoo.

        They don’t want to be a Nazi, so as far as they’re concerned, they’re not.

        I’ve never seen the word before, but calling Ukraine’s president – who is Jewish – a “nazi” was a staple of Putin’s propaganda to support his war of imperial re-conquest.
