Thank you. In our entire dialogue, this is the first actual argument for why nazis were not socialist. I am at work now, so, I will respond to the actual argument later, but I just wanted to thank you for trying to provide one rather than simply stick with "because I said so"
@mihamarkic @Leroy @malwaretech
Well, when one of you finally comes forth with an actual argument for why the National Socialists were not "real" socialists, maybe we can then discuss what about their ideology puts them on the right.
@Leroy @mihamarkic @malwaretech
No, they never havve been. The left simply wants to demonize the right, so the refer to them as nazis. However, the nazis ideology was closer to the left than to the right.
@Leroy @mihamarkic @malwaretech
In actuality, in the US, nazis are more often conflated with the right, probably for the very same reasons that you mention here.
@Leroy @malwaretech
Again, you saying it does not make it true. If the National Socialists were not "real" socialists, then it should be very simple to say, the tenets of socialism are ....., the nazis believed ......., they failed at socialism because ......
You have not done that. You keep saying that they are not socialists, but you have done absolutely nothing to expalin why.
@Leroy @malwaretech
This is not an explanation of how they were not socialist. This is you simply stating that they were not. I am still waiting for my explanation.
@troglodyt @Leroy @malwaretech
Having now read the entire section titled Why we are socialists? You have dobe nothing to convince me that they were not socialist.
Let me help you, a good argument would look like, the tenets of socialism are ....., but the nazis believe ..... and they fail at socialism because ....
@Leroy @malwaretech
Sure, explain to me how the National Socialists weren't "real" socialists.
@malwaretech
Really? I hadn't heard of any anti-semitic or socialist posts from him. What exactly did he say that was nazi related?

What @target is doing is far worse than anything Bud Light did. They are selling chest binders & "tuck-friendly" bathing suits for children.
Target is calling our bluff. But just like any other company, they need our business. We did it with Bud Light. Now it's Target's turn.

I'll never notice. DuckDuckGo works great for me.
One issue that I have had with my #librem5 since day one has been the wireless hotspot. Off and on, I try to take the time to troubleshoot the issue. Today, I had some time and I am on call which is when I need it most so I started looking at it. It worked first time without issue!!!
The only problem is, was it fixed by an update since the last time I looked at it, or did I fix it last time and not know it.
If I fixed it, I don't know what I did because it's been a couple of weeks.

@trhlofficial Pluto...Never forget
@realcaseyrollins
I don't think that it is actually a fork, but I like the way #Purism set up their Mastodon server.
They completely disabled DM's, they instead set up a matrix server so that all DM's can be encrypted.
They also disabled the server and federated columns so that you only see posts from people that you follow. That way, easily offended individuals do not have to be subjected to posts from people they do not like.
@realcaseyrollins
I think that he is looking at Matt Walsh doing the same thing and talking to Elon who wants twitter to move that direction.

Alex Jones ads on Tucker’s new Twitter show would make the left explode 🤣

These frauds are so used to their echo chambers that they just freesociate whatever they want, intellectual rigor be damned. Why wouldn't they? It's what's always worked since they're in echo chambers that doesn't demand anything but loyalty.
Forget about claims not supported by sourced evidence there aren't even claims made -- just conclusions that it's assumed everyone will agree with because everyone else is in the same echo chamber and agrees as a matter of cult affiliation.
The idea that the Republicans have become super radical just doesn't stand up to scrutiny, particularly when compared to the Democrats, destroying the core conclusion of these people. Since it's an unsupported conclusion, destroying the conclusion destroys the unsupported conclusions that are built around the core conclusion.
In 1992, the Republican view on abortion is that it was morally wrong and should be banned. In 2023, the Republican view on abortion is that it is morally wrong and should be banned. In 1992, the Republican view on gay marriage is that the constitution should be amended to ensure it was banned. In 2023, the Republican view on gay marriage is that it is settled law and shouldn't be banned. In 1992, the Republican view on borders was that they should be secured. In 2023, the Republican view on borders is that they should be secured. In 1992, the Republican view on taxes is that they should be cut across the board. In 2023, the Republican view is that they should be cut across the board. In 1992, the Republican view on reparations for slavery is that it's an absurd idea and the past should stay in the past. In 2023, the Republican view is that the past should stay in the past. In 1992, the Republican view on crime is that it's bad. In 2023, the Republican view on crime is that it's bad.
Meanwhile, in 1992 the Democrat view on abortion is "safe, legal, and rare" while the Democrat view in 2023 is that abortion to the moment of birth is acceptable and should abortion should be celebrated. In 1992, the Democrat view on gay marriage is that while the constitution shouldn't be amended it shouldn't be legal (And in 1996 Bill Clinton signed a "Defense Of Marriage Act" into law defining marriage as between one man and one woman) and that was the stance until Obama came out as in favor of gay marriage in 2012. Today, the Democrat view on gay marriage is that if you keep gay porn out of school libraries or think schools shouldn't be bringing kids to drag shows you're a hateful bigot. In 1992, the Democrats generally agreed that the borders should be secured. In 2023, the stance is to abolish ICE and give illegal immigrants the right to vote. In 1992, the Democrats view on reparations for slavery was that it was an absurd idea. In 2023, the Democrat view is that there should be serious consideration given to the idea of reparations. In 1992, the Democrat view on crime was that it's bad. In 2023, the Democrat view on crime is that maybe it isn't so bad after all -- many Democrat jurisdictions are effctively legalizing crime on a statutory level, and many DAs are refusing to prosecute crimes.
Does this mean the Republicans are great? Nope. Maybe their viewpoints are wrong -- and in a lot of ways they are. But it does mean that they really haven't changed their views all that much over decades and decades besides becoming more moderate, while especially in the past years the Democrats have gone loco.
A great party probably wouldn't look like either one, but this is what the Americans have, and unfortunately it's what the rest of us end up inheriting since they're the biggest bull in this china shop.
