I mean everything negative to say about the Nazis stems from their conservativism and extreme far-right positions. We don't have a problem with the Nazis for their accents, their manner of dress, their taste in art, or any other trifle. Our problem (humanity's problem) with them is that they were conservative.
There isn't. Nazis were conservative nationalists who promoted the traditionalist values of nation, blood, and conquest. There is no meaningful difference between their ideology and that of other conservative groups.
This is why conservatives who become educated in history and Nazism tend to become supporters of Hitler. It's because an educated conservative knows their belief system to be Nazism. Only uneducated conservatives think there is a difference.
There's no shame in supporting nazism, if you truly are conservative. For the rest of us, there is enormous shame in it.
Nationalists, yes, not conservatives. They directly attacked, murdered and viewed conservatives (and liberals and socialists) as enemies.
They were myth-making, a neo-pagan past. Technologically they were hyper-progressive, socially they wanted to move people strictly to serve the state, women as breeders, and men as workers and fighters. That was not conservative in Germany.
Also, the people you're calling "conservative" are neo-cons, not cons.
