Out of curiosity, let’s say a man needs a place for sleep, and for get one, he decides to help out a nazi, for example by fixing their long distance radio, would you call this person a nazi,@xkforce@lemmy.world ?
Comment on Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content

If there are 10 nazis at a table and youre sitting among them, there are 11 nazis sitting at that table.

Why couldn’t the man go to a homeless shelter, or a church, or a bus stop, or a park bench, or literally anywhere other than a Nazi’s house? Also, what does a Nazi need a long distance radio for? Maybe by fixing it and not asking questions he’s helping them coordinate with other fascists to hurt and kill people. Is that worth a place to sleep for a night? Is it worth a few bucks if you’re not homeless but actually a wealthy business owner who can do as they please?

Why couldn’t the man go to a homeless shelter, or a church, or a bus stop, or a park bench, or literally anywhere other than a Nazi’s house? No homeless shelter, church, or a bus stop, park bench wasn’t a possibility, as there was german patrols watching the town. Also, what does a Nazi need a long distance radio for? For hear the news from Germany. Long distance radio was quite popular in the 40s. You could hear radios from the other side of a continent with those. Is that worth a place to sleep for a night? If it prevents you to get arrested by the Nazis, and questioned, I would say yes.
The man I mention in my post is this guy As he was visiting the french riviera gathering intels for the british intelligence, he got in the situation I described in my previous post.

Did you bring him up because you believe Hamish MacKenzie is doing some kind of anti-Nazi spy operations nobody else knows about? Because the contexts here are so different that they’re only tangentially related.

The very occasional exception to the saying doesn’t make the saying less applicable in this particular situation.
xkforce@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A lot of people died rather than help them so yes I would judge the shit out of someone that helps them knowing full well what they are.

The person I mention in my previous post, is this man. As he was along the french riviera, looking for intels, he ended in this situation, that there was no vacancy in hotels, and he finally got a hotel room, by fixing the long distance radio. How do you judge the shit out of him, by curiosity ?

Nazis don’t deserve help. They fundamentally are antisocial in their ideology. By helping them, you aid a Nazi. Why would you willingly help a Nazi?

Who the fuck feels safe sleeping among Nazis? That’s a good way to get robbed.

Hearing some one out and not changing your viewpoint after the conversation, doesn’t make you one of them. 🙄

Thing is, we’ve heard out the nazis before. We don’t need to do that anymore.

Exactly. It’s the paradox of tolerance.

There are some things not worth listening to. Not all opinions are created equal.

Zero tolerance for nazis. Zero.

Agreed. However, providing a platform for hate speech is no different than condoning it.
xkforce@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My viewpoint is that I dont have any obligation to “hear out” a nazi. And neither does anyone else. GTFO with this “even nazis should be given a fair shake” shit.

But if upu hear them out and decide to allow them to promote their views on your website is passive endorsement.
Or, to follow the metaphor: if you hear them out over entrees and you’re still sitting there during dessert, then you’re probably one of them.

No, but thinking a Nazi has valuable information to offer is sus.

Big difference between having a conversation and having a media company distributing propaganda.
