Comment on Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here?

Lebensraum is a relatively infamous policy, and one which neo-Nazis like the NSN explicitly invoke.

Sorry. While I readily acknowledge that I don’t hang out in those circles, nor really scrutinise their rhetoric, I have honestly never heard that phrase before. In English or German. This does paint the comment in a brighter light, and I probably would have been more inclined to remove it had I been familiar with the term.

That’s good to see, but as of right now the Nazi’s explicit mask-off comment is still up, and they are still not prevented from commenting further in the future.

Fwiw, I didn’t learn the phrase from online discourse about neonazis, I learnt it from education about WWII in its original comment. Until reading other comments in this thread I was not even aware that it was popular among neonazis as a dogwhistle. So we both learnt something unfortunate here today.

Yep, exactly, and that’s why I say it’s more useful when a report is more specific - most people are lucky enough that they aren’t exposed to online neo-Nazism enough to know their rhetoric, euphemisms, codes and symbols (beyond the swastika).
