75 years ago the allied forces performed an invasion of france to rid the world of tyranny. It is really depressing to think that the same enemy that the allies took out, live in our country, whether they are hosting youtube shows, doing torch rallies, or holding signs in military burials. Will the world ever be rid of this human trash? I don't even know. In Puerto rico we really dont have a Nazi problem, but it does seem like its getting worse in the USA and other western countries. What a terrible shame. It's made playing as a german/axis soldier/pilot in World War 2 games really difficult. Nobody wants to be associated with that, of course.
I just had to share this with everyone here. It's been on my mind today, and no i'm not drunk. I just think we really are heading the wrong way, and most people don't seem to mind it. They're ok with racism, homophobia, etc. The american dream got turned into a nightmare.
 
I saw an interview with someone that fought on the day and he was saying how war is awful and should be avoided at all costs. It's a shame that the current political leaders haven't learned that yet.
 
It is unfortunate that many countries' government is still supporting war, and participating in war, and refugees are mistreated when they try to enter countries which are not having a war. I saw an online videos of refugees being locked up in America.

oof really i guess it's an weird idea that government made.
 
World War 2 was a very long time ago and most of those who were involved in it are gone now. The horrors of then are something the modern era has no idea of. The terms are left, but the understanding of the real world implications is not here. So I think we need to be extremely careful here because there are essentially 2 types of modern day "nazi".

There is a group who throw around the term "nazi" and "facist" way too frequently. In many cases those that do use those terms often exemplify the very traits they claim to be against. (In a striking bit of ironic dissonance between what they say and do.)
These people use the terms to describe people who merely disagree with them. They project the terms onto others to act like moral superiors and hide what they're doing. (Accuse others of doing what they're doing so people don't notice it.)
What it's doing is diluting the terms to mean very little.

And then there is a group who get called neo-nazis. (There are people who call the alt-right nazis... but I'm not 100% convinced that's the right label. I'd have to look more into that before I could say anything.)
That said I don't think we have much to worry about from the neo-nazi groups. They are small and not particularly powerful or influential. Very few would want to be associated with a group that calls itself anything nazi related. This isn't to dismiss them entirely, but I don't think we really need to worry about them as much as people claim (at least not yet anyway).
However I do think that they could potentially gain more power/influence/popularity if the other group is not dealt with. This is because the other group could drive people to join them. Like "you're already calling me a nazi, and have decided that's all I am... maybe I should just join them" type thing.

I think we have far more to fear from the other group... The ones who call everyone else nazis. Their behaviour is far worse. They act out claiming to fight facism by being facists. They shut down speech they disagree with. They attack people and their homes based on a difference of opinion (ex- what they did to Tucker Carlson and Janet Bloomfield). They find what they do funny (it's a big joke to them). They hide their faces and run like cowards.
They infiltrate every organization and push policy to suit them. (Policies that allow them to silence others, claim hate speech or harassment. They push for hiring based on what's between your legs or the colour of your skin over skill/talent or what you can bring to the table.)
