    They didn’t claim the world was run by Nazis though. They said people with similar or related ideologies exist in the highest levels of every western government. That’s undeniably true.

      No they pretty explicitly implied the world was run by Nazis.

      I said that the West has the nazi problem pretty well under control. People with explicit That’s the ideology are very rare and very much taboo and very much considered bad people.

      This guy comes out and says “no you have leaders who are Nazis, you don’t have the problem under control”

      **Even today people with similar ethno-nationalist, settler-colonialist, and fascist ideology **

      And don’t removed about the use of the “similar” weasel word. A Nazi is a Nazi. Ethno nationalist fascism is Nazism by another name and this schmuck thinks the West is still lead by them.

        Explicitly imply is an oxymoron. You can’t accuse someone of making a claim they didn’t make.

        I think I see where you’re confused though. Nazism is not the only ethno-nationalist or fascist ideology. Settler colonialism is also not equivalent to fascism or Nazism. These things are related though and people who subscribe to similar ideologies will likely be more sympathetic to Nazism. Thus they’re less likely to take neo-Nazis seriously leading to an actual Nazi problem. However, that doesn’t make them Nazis themselves.
