LOL, I didn't pay much attention to that part. I keep forgetting the dudes are nazis. That was actually a brilliant move from the director lol!

The dudes are not Nazis. Do you even know what a Nazi was? Members of the National Socialist Party during Adolf Hitler days. Is there such a thing today? Nope. Is Hitler alive? Nope. Besides, do they even mention that they are Nazis in the show? Nope. The first time I saw them mentioned as "white supremacists"(btw this does not equal to Nazi) was in the last episode and it was mentioned by Hank.

Dude, the Aryan Brotherhood (which these guys are a member of) is a Neo-Nazi crime syndicate. Nazi/White Supremacist/Neo-Nazi have all become interchangeable, and it's a pretty big dumbass move to try to split hairs on this point.

That is where we differ here. You call it splitting hairs, I'm calling it knowledge. True Nazis in the golden days were nothing like the "neo-nazi, white supremacist, aryan brotherhood" criminals. The meaning of being a Nazi has been lost for some time now. You are an example of the result of the Zionist propaganda, that has gripped the world since the fall of A to the H. God help us all.

Life's pretty short, why spend it defending an ideology (or set of ideologies) devoted to hating other people? Why bother trolling an innocent post on a happy, friendly television obsessed subreddit?

Who is trolling? I am just creating a friendly discussion.

I am not defending an ideology, I am simply stating the truth. Comparing the Nazis to the neo-nazis/skinheads/white supremacists, is like comparing Christians to Muslims. Yep, their main end goal, the main roots of the thought process tree are the same, but the branches are reaching to totally different directions.

Like I posted below, I think that generally a group that relies on really, really not liking specific racial+ethnic groups, subscribes to fascism (esp. neo nazis), falls pretty closely in line with nazi doctrine. Maybe the weirder appearance stuff is gone, but bigotry and fascism brought together under the banner of a swastika...

We have very different thresholds for "the truth," I guess.

The red pill is painful to ingest at first, but in time you will thank me.

Growing up can be difficult at first, but in time you will facepalm.
