What has more in common with nazis?

1) Cancel culture, pronoun politics, militarized political correctness

2) retweeting a meme that highlights the connection those things have with nazis

I mean the second one, obviously?

so much of the ways that nazis justified their evil acts were by making the jews out to be their oppressors, and the secret controllers of 'woke' politics of the time. it was a reactionary ideology then, and it's a reactionary ideology now.

when you cast yourself as 'the real victim' and use it as an excuse to mistreat a historically oppressed segment of society... yeah man, I see a lot in common with the nazis there, particularly in the realm of a group of people united by what they believe, fighting to hurt a group of people united by who they are.

The nazis policed behavior. Modern critics of LGBT aren’t trying to police behavior, we’re pointing out that the entity LGBT (and all the corporations/governments behind interested in propagating it) is obviously connected to the policing of behavior.

There’s a very clear dividing line here. You support free speech (including what you don’t like or consider dangerous) or you don’t. One of those positions is a lot closer to the nazis than it’s proponents understand.

2. Cancel culture is mostly concerned with giving a voice and power to the set of marginalized groups that the Nazis despised. The Nazis could not have cared less about pronouns and would have murdered trans people on sight, and they were anything but politically correct for the time, which is why the world went to war against them.

Meanwhile, they would easily have retweeted a meme (in other words, engaged in propaganda) meant to disparage and slander homosexuals, although obviously they wouldn't not have associated homosexuality with Nazism or used the Swastika, as they considered homosexuality to be abhorrent. They most likely would have used a Star of David or other Jewish symbol instead.

The key pattern is control.

The nazis were control freaks. All information channels (not just electronic, but also behavioral) were policed, and any information passing through those channels had to be authorized by the authorities.

Memes become popular through a bottom-up process. An image resonates with you and you share it with your network.

The LGBT movement (an entity separate from homosexuality itself) is not currently a bottom-up phenomenon. It’s subsidized and utilized by the world’s largest corporations, the largest media, the largest non-profits and nearly all western governments to push all kinds of agendas that appear to a great many of us as authoritarian and dangerous.
