Nazi's Vs Jews...

[DanaC]

Honestly, probably most 'nazis' aren't 'evil'. Misguided, misanthropic, bigoted and wrong...sure. But no, I don't think most of them are evil.

As a creed, I think nazism comes pretty close to my own personal definition of evil.

I also don't believe Jews are 'God's people'. Then again, I wouldn't, since I don't believe in God. But it's important, i think, regardless of what faith one does or does not subscribe to, not to oversimplify the matter. Nazis and Jews are not the antithesis of each other. It is not as simple as one being evil and the other godly.

And yes. I hate nazis/fascists. They are the enemy (to me). Opposition to neo-nazism in the UK was the foundation of my political education/awakening.

I am glad that you have stepped away from that way of thinking, if that was where you found yourself. But don't step away because Jews are 'Godly', or special. They're not. Step away because the tenets of nazism are fundamentally wrong, inhuman, dangerous to individuals and society in general. Step away because there is no justification for the denial of another ethnicity's basic humanity. Step away because cruelty and hate are insidious and injure those who make a practice of such things, as much as they injure the victims of them.

JBK, when were you considering the Nazi way of thinking anyway?

Do you see that, if that statement is true, people would be equally dubious about your now faithful adherence to all that is "good" and "not evil"?

It's not so much that I was "thinking like a nazi" it's that I was leaning tor-ward the white power attitude. I was a kid when I "thought" like that and now the older I get the bigger of an arse hole I feel like.

It's a retrospective nightmare.
