> Neonazis are spoiled rich kids that get everything they want

They aren't. They are what was once the middle class, which has been chipped away at for the past 40+ years.

There's systems of misdirection that have been set up to convince them they are coming up short not because of how the rules are constructed by those in power, but because of a dis-empowered scapegoat.

This redirection trick away from the powerful to the unfamiliar outsider is literally (and literarily) from antiquity. It's part of an ancient bagful of common political slight of hand tricks used to fool people.

It doesn't work on everyone, but those it does work on...well we've seen what that looks like yet again.

So just as we wouldn't allow people to go around and seriously promote say smoking in front of infants for the health of the baby, we should think twice about allowing dangerous political nonsense to be spread and entertained as if it's true - especially ideas with a history of inciting mass murder.
