    Are neo nazis not a subset of nazis? If not, how would you refer to the grouping of both ww2 German nazis and neo nazis who share many beliefs and symbols? I don’t see a good reason why that group can’t just be called nazis.

      These kinds of discussions are basically never made in good faith and are reminiscent of the last (good) Wolfenstein game where chuds were losing their mind because “the KKK and the nazis would never have worked together!” and so forth.

      At best you are looking at someone being overly pedantic because their entire sense of self worth is to be “technically correct” and it boils down to “They weren’t registered with the party in 1942” and so forth.

      More often it becomes chuds who overly fixate on “the Z stance for Socialism!” because they know they are evil mother fuckers but want to spread the hate around.
