No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I grew up watching WW2 movies and the Nazis were never shown as being anything other than Bad Guys. I would love to know how anyone grows up here in the U.S. and doesn't know that.
This was taken in Madison Square Garden in 1939.
Henry Ford was given the Grand Cross of The German Eagle by Hitler.
Americans were far more Nazi than history books might have you believe.
Hell, Hitler called America’s genocide of the natives “the first great cleansing”. It was the model.
for starters they dont even know they are Nazis
lol calm down John, yes they are
As a Jewish person (I assume you are not with a name like McMurray), no it hasn't. The people being called Nazis on America's ~~very fine people~~ right have made no secret of their extreme antisemitism and would have no problem throwing me in a camp.

I think there are enough similarities for people to properly connect the two.
Yeah it devalues the horror of genocide calling a person critical of mass immigration the same fucking thing.
Trump supporters aren’t only critical of mass immigration. Go look at the second paragraph of the Nazism Wikipedia page. You’ll find those beliefs overlap quite a few times with American conservatives.
Quit being dense for no reason.
Hitler had ideas that overlap with Buddhism, PETA and myriad other groups, that is completely irrelevant.
To see Nazis being presented as the good guys just turn on the DNC stream.
