There is substantially more nuance to all this than is being communicated here. There is a false binary. They are absolutely Nazis by action. They don't believe in it; they believe in the paycheck and the power. That doesn't make it excusable. It does make it something else tho.

And as someone who literally relies on this understanding to survive, these things matter. They may not matter to you but they matter to me, the work I do, and the activism I am part of.

Does it really matter when the effects are the same? An SS officer who's merely an opportunist is still an SS officer, even if he doesn't really subscribe to Nazi ideology. If anything the ideologues for hire are more dangerous than the brownshirts on the street.

Oh definitely not. No platform for hate speech. But look, no one is following every nazi around shouting them out of every grocery store. Or interrupting every dinner. We have to be smart.
