I miss the days when everyone agreed what a horrible thing Hitler was and the whole world learned from it & went a few decades resolutely never wishing to repeat any of his philosophies & atrocities.
Not OP, but if you are asking if I miss the day that everyone I interacted with either believed or pretended to believe that Hitler was a horrific thing and a blight on humanity, then yes, yes I miss that. The fact that having an alternative opinion on Hitler is now socially acceptable is fucking horrible.
Yes. Most people who use words to convey meaning, rather than as a weapon in some never-ending online battle of the wits, would instinctively understand this person was not implying they interviewed all of humanity.
Nah you’re fine, especially because you learned. Way too many people don’t account for biases like this. You’ll also see me around lemmy pointing out how, given enough people, shit is bound to happen. For example https://lemmy.today/comment/27425299
Bro stormfront was launched in 1996, and they were active in usenet prior to that. nazis have always been on the internet to meet, distribute propaganda, and recruit and they and fascists have always had a notable presence in tech nerds
No, the right (most of it) still believes that Hitler was bad, they just refuse to accept that Hitler believed almost the exact same things they believe
In The Blues Brothers from 1980, John Belushi says “I hate Illinois nazis” and runs them into the river. There wasn’t anybody … anybody … back then who didn’t find that shit funny and well-deserved.

By “everyone” you mean “people you interacted with to the extent to what they said to you.”

Take from that what you will.
Oh I understood it. Maybe I could have phrased it better but neo-nazis have always existed. They were just older and not on the Internet.
Fair enough. Sorry for the shitty reply.
