subverted_per@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@lemmy.ml•I actually find this talking point so braindead that, to this day, I still have a hard time believing that people genuinely believe it.English8·2 years agoI feel like you’re being deliberately obtuse. You’re right in that by itself trying to define the nazi party of the past in terms of present day left/right ideology is reductivist, and unproductive in discourse. But you’re ignoring two important facts in the present day right/left dynamic. First that literal modern day nazis have shown a distinct preference for right wing ideaology. Second is that fascism as an ideology is a chameleon that latches onto present day conflict to unite people through oppression of a weak other, which is the basis for present day right wing policy. As such the comparison becomes apt because the fascists of the past are a model for the fascists of the present.
That can be double edged. I just got into the trails series, and discovered that the early games are all collectable.
