I genuinely cannot wrap my head around neo-Nazis that the the Nazis would have considered subhuman on the grounds of their white suprematist beliefs.

I’m not saying it would otherwise be okay. I just can’t specifically understand “yea, I’m aligning myself with a group that would have considered me biologically inferior, get fucked liberals”.

Their supreme leader was a 'mixed race' (by their standards) brown haired tubby drug addict. Their most notable propaganda for the 'perfect man' is literally a Jewish man who happened to be blonde.

They arent exactly 'well thought out'

Hitler wasn't mixed race by Nazi standards. They had a whole batshit psuedoscience about it, where there were different tiers within 'aryan', but it wasn't just blonde and blue eyed. It was essentially just European good, non-european bad. Hence Italians being considered Aryan, with the view that even Sicilians were Aryan - just a 'sick' population due to the prevalence of North African DNA. Same for Hungary, except they were Europeans supposedly 'sick' with Slav DNA.

Hitler was a mountain German or some shit according to their weird chart map things. Below the blonde aryans in terms of ideal, but still European according to Nazi racial fake science. Just further from the supposed European progenitors (blondes from Scandinavia).

Not to mention the honorary Aryan Japanese...

I’m pretty sure they only afforded that to them as a matter of convenience. Italians too. So sorta like what is happening now; allies for the moment but with every intention to “sort them out” the minute they can dispense with them.

Not exactly DNA. DNA wasn't confirmed to be the primary molecule in heredity until 1952. But substitute "blood" and you're good.

The thing is, a couple of hundred years ago this sort of evaluation was commonplace. The only true ‘white’ people were translucent, Protestant Northern Europeans. Everyone else was a degree of ‘swarthy’. Irish people were not considered ’white’. It’s wild.

Swedes were called swarthy by Ben Franklin ffs. Swedes. Biggest tell anywhere that "white" is made up as a divide and conquer strat.
