Well, they did change the name. That’s a pretty big signal.
But honestly, this whole culture of avoiding anything some enemy group has coopted just gives that group legitimacy. Every time we bend over backwards to avoid Nazi stuff gives the Nazis more publicity, and as they say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. So merely calling this out helps Nazis.
I really don’t get how that’s not obvious. If we keep calling everything “Nazi stuff,” we’ll keep talking about Nazis, and then someone will get curious, think the public is being “unfair” and sympathize with the Nazis. We’re doing their job for them…
