literal nazis

WWII was 80 years ago, are there any literal Nazis alive?

Or is this one of the 'I don't know what literal means and also I'll decide who is a Nazi and deserves death' kind of thing?

    Yes, I know what Nazis are.

    It was a rhetorical question, not a ChatGPT prompt for information.

    If you don't know there are real Nazi followers and fascism out there right now, not 80 years ago, but right now, I do not think you know what Nazis are. I also do not think you know what a "rhetorical question" is.

    I also do not think you know what a “rhetorical question” is.

    Well, let me demonstrate:

    You know what I think better than I do?

    You know, the image in the OP is not an aspirational goal, right?

    I think you're ignorant to the reality around you. I think OPs image is a strawman made by a centrist that also does not understand the reality of the situation.

    Literal Nazis exist today, yes. Insisting that they don't is doing them a favor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism

    Or is this one of the 'I don't know what Nazi means' kind of things? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism

    Is that your alt? If not then you have no idea what they meant.

    There are many people on social media who's kneejerk reaction is to label things "nazi" (see the OP's image), or to imply that someone is doing favors for nazis, when they perceive that they're being disagreed with. It's kind of the topic of this whole post.

    My response is a rhetorical question, not a request for information and their reply would show if they are that kind of reactionary person.

    I didn't reply to you and I didn't mistake the reply box for a search engine, so linking me Wikipedia pages and suggesting that I'm doing favors for nazis means that you both missed the point and are the kind of reactionary outrage junkie that's depicted in the OP.

    I linked them for you because you don't know what a Nazi is, because you said literal Nazis aren't alive today.

    You linked them because your reading comprehension is worse than your impulse control and thought you could score some quick social media high fives from the other Internet mouthbreathers.

    Here's a Wikipedia article, maybe it'll help you understand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_seeking

    Nope, just making sure you understand that literal Nazis do, in fact, exist today. If you weren't posting rhetorical questions that implied you didn't believe they don't, then I wouldn't have shared links with you to help you understand they do.

    Zionists are ambitious, trying to genocide so hard that people forget about the Nazis.

    Netanyahu doesn't really have the punchiness of "Hitler", so they need to work on that part. His gun probably tastes the same, so there's that.
