I am curious about the reason why they were banned.

    This is what I think apologists just can’t figure out.

    So much of the transmission of nazism isn’t outright. It’s purposely put behind plausible deniability, it’s done through signalling, it’s done through co-opting, it’s done through bad faith arguments about mod policy and free speech, it’s done through half-jokes that aren’t really jokes, it’s done by ‘just asking honest questions’ that reinforce nazi framing etc.

    And that in and of itself is enough to do the damage they want to do. Those who are rushing to the defense of these trolls are, for lack of a better term, just serving as useful idiots without realizing it.

      Hmm Trump has used the ok sign 41 times in public. If he does it 59 times more we will know for sure that he is a Nazi.
