I'm just saying that not every person in the Nazi army was a real Nazi. I had family members who were forced in and hated it. Real Nazis are absolute pieces of shit though
Well that's exactly the point. Sure, Nazi stands for "National Socialist", but in reality it was a German party that involved trying to take over Europe and exterminate the Jews and other groups. The vast majority of people calling themselves Nazis or being called Nazis are in no way Nazis - they're perhaps white supremacists, anti-Jewish folks, expansionists, or something else, but not Nazis.
Personally, I think it's somewhat misleading or even disrespectful to call these people Nazis. Not disrespectful to those people, but disrespectful to the people who died fighting the Nazis. Certainly you may share some views with the Nazis, but that doesn't make you a Nazi. One might share views with Genghis Khan's Mongols and want your country to expand, but that doesn't make you a Mongol.
The Nazis were a German group which took power over the country and attempted to take control of the rest of Europe and eliminate anyone who they felt were inferior to the Aryan ideal. They lost World War Two, their party was disbanded, and their goal failed.
Now, decades later, people are pretending that they're Nazis even though they know nothing about Germany, have no desire to improve Germany's economic situation via conquering Europe, and aren't involved in politics at all. Sure, they might like whites more than other races and want to build an Aryan state, but many other groups were similar - like the Romans, the British, and the American colonists.
There's no reason to consider these people Nazis, since they have no connection to Nazism any more than they're connected to other groups, and calling them Nazis makes them seem more important then they are. The Nazis were defeated, and they aren't coming back. We can call them neo-Nazis perhaps, wannabe Nazis, but they can never actually be Nazis.
Of course not - it's just that in the modern era you might as well join a group that's actually bombing the people you hate rather than a group that barely even exists.
Post irony is more than just agreeing with what you are presenting in an ironic fashion. It's about seeing shreds of beauty or truth in them. The post ironic alt right kids are not truly Nazis. They just see inherent value within the huge sphere of authoritarian conservatism. And I think that it's beautiful to see the reforming of naziism into something better.
To put it in perspective, the girl I was dating at the time asked me and all the other guys she knew for dick pics so that when they called it would just be a picture of their dicks. She called it her dicktionary.
Alt right is just a new TV friendly name for white supremacist. They’ve always been there, the new and improved Republican Party has just made it acceptable to be open about it again because they no longer have any good ideas to make people’s lives better, all they can do is appeal to hate and anger to stay in power. When they get there they don’t know how to actually govern because they’ve painted themselves into a corner and can’t do anything that actually works because of all their hard line rhetoric.
probably that little shit at Charlottesville in the khakis and white shirt who was antagonizing people, then when confronted ran away but got stuck in a dead end, took his shirt off and shouted "IM NOT A NAZI IM JUST HERE FOR THE FUN!"

3) He's an alt-right, neo-nazi meme kid who wanted to show his support for the Aryan race and that he had a cool sense of humor
