Try this assclown:
Warning - Smoking Section!
Nazis supported abortion - so do liberals.
Nazis supported gun control - so do liberals.
Nazis ran on a platform of class warfare, gaining support from the poor by blaming the rich for their problems - so do liberals.
Nazis used violence and terrorism to intimidate political opponents - so do liberals.
Nazis would have advocated the destruction of Israel - so do liberals.
Nazis attempted to make the Muslims their allies - so do liberals.
Nazis nationalized different companies and industries - so do liberals.
Nazis advocated assisted suicide for the elderly, infirm and those with severe birth defects - so do liberals.
Nazis pushed for socialism - so do liberals.
Nazis felt that big government was the solution to all of their country's problems - so do liberals.
Nazis offered government health care - so do liberals.
Nazis felt that those who opposed their views should have their possessions confiscated and those individuals be either executed immediately or sent to death camps - so do liberals.
So how exactly are Nazis conservatives again?

(12,618 posts)I know it's a common right wing myth, but it is just that, a myth. Hitler actualy relaxed most gun laws.

(11,744 posts)As with every other single statement on that stupid meme, the facts are quite different from their statement. Hitler did relax gun laws for Germans of Aryan heritage, but he disarmed his political opponents and "undesirables".

(17,984 posts)Yes, he advocated for the Palestinians and against the establishment of Israel. From what I remember, I think there might have been a tacit agreement, but nothing ever came of it. Instead, in 1948, Israel bought used Messerschmitts to defend the newly founded state against the Arab countries attacking it. Just a little ironic, huh?

Abortion is one of the oldest medical procedures in the world, and the concept of the pharmacy had a lot to do with being able to procure abortofacients. Nazis also banned abortion.
Nazis actually loosened gun control, inherited from the Weimar Republic, for "righteous German citizens"
No, Nazis wanted class cooperation, they wanted the poor to work with and for rich Germans.
That wasn't a liberal driving his car through counter-protesters
Israel didn't exist at the time, so this is purely hypothetical
They also made Russia their ally. Funny how that's not on here. There are a billion and a half Muslims and many live here and their opinions run the gamut, making them all the generalized 'other' and the enemy is precisely what Nazis did for Jews and Gypsies.
Name one.
Voluntary. Liberals aren't grabbing people out of hospitals and homes, it should be voluntary with consent being able to withdrawn at any time.
How so?

(66,467 posts)It was just a sop to get the disaffected worker on board with a movement that was essentially funded by Germany's wealthy elite.
And Germany offered national health long before the Nazis came along. The idea got started under Bismarck, who was a conservative. So whoever believes this shit is just about as stupid as the day is long.
And no, liberals don't want to 'confiscate' anything and send their owners to death camps. Project much, Hitler Jr.?

(50,563 posts)In 1943, anyone who performed an abortion on an "Aryan" woman was to be put to death.
But non-"Aryan" women were encouraged to abort, to reduce the non-"Aryan" population.
Change Aryan to American and non-Aryan to "Immigrant" and the RWers would be like, "hell yeah!"
BlueAZure
(19 posts)"No. Liberals support a woman making the often difficult decision for herself.
In 1943, under the Nazis, providing an abortion to an ""Aryan"" woman became a capital offense"
Nazis supported gun control - so do liberals.
No. Nazis loosened previously existing Gun Laws.
Nazis ran on a platform of class warfare, gaining support from the poor by blaming the rich for their problems - so do liberals.
No. Liberals support the rights of all people to earn the rights to the fruits of their labors and the responsibility for the Commons. (Yes, there is such a thing). One cannot separate Government protection of "property rights", especially that of Corporations, without supporting the rights of those who actually do the work. Liberals also support a class-less, economically mobile society. Nazis, like other conservatives, prefer the classes to 'know their place'.
Nazis used violence and terrorism to intimidate political opponents - so do liberals.
No. This is a typical response of the Right, who love to threaten armed insurrection, and open season on liburls while saying that it's actually 'the other side' that's violent. Part of the grand intellectual tradition of, "I know you are, but what am I?"
Nazis would have advocated the destruction of Israel - so do liberals.
No. Liberals support the rights of all people to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This includes both Israelis AND Palestinians. There is no freedom for any so long as others are oppressed.
Nazis attempted to make the Muslims their allies - so do liberals.
No. Liberals attempt to make allies of anyone who supports the rights of all people and promotes the principles of peaceful, open societies. This includes Muslims, Christians, and anyone else of any or no religion. Obviously, it excludes those who do not, such as Fascists (Islamic, Christian, or other)
Nazis nationalized different companies and industries - so do liberals.
What company or industry has been nationalized?
Nazis advocated assisted suicide for the elderly, infirm and those with severe birth defects - so do liberals.
If you've ever had a loved one die in drawn out agony, with no hope of recovery, and wishing to end their life in a humane and dignified way, you'll either become a liberal or remain an evil bastard.
Show me the liberal who advocates euthanizing those with birth defects."
Nazis pushed for socialism - so do liberals.
Its funny how The Right likes to equate "Socialism" with both "Communism" and the "National Socialism" of the Nazis, even though the Nazi's were vehemently anti-Communist - just like other Conservatives. Just as "liberal trade policy" is pretty much the opposite of the trade policy favored by liberals, "National Socialism" is pretty much the opposite of "Socialism."
Nazis felt that big government was the solution to all of their country's problems - so do liberals.
No. This is a typical Conservative Talking Point (CTP) that has nothing to do with reality. The tacit implication in that statement is that other reality-free CTP that Conservatives are for "Smaller Government". The truth is that Liberals do believe there are certain things the government should be doing, but so do Conservatives, they just don't agree on what. But somehow, when it's something Conservatives want, suddenly it's a "Patriotic American" thing, instead of "Destructive Big Gub'ment".
Nazis offered government health care - so do liberals.
They also built roads. So, I suppose every Party that provides roads are like Nazis?
The Nazis also advocated a large Military Industrial Complex which they used to fight unprovoked wars. Remind us, who pushed us into Iraq unprovoked?"
Nazis felt that those who opposed their views should have their possessions confiscated and those individuals be either executed immediately or sent to death camps - so do liberals.
Yet another Conservative Talking Point divorced from reality. Show me a liberal advocating this? On the other hand, Civil Forfeiture accelerated greatly with Ronald Reagan's "war on drugs" but was curtailed the Obama Administration.
Liberals advocating Death Camps only exist in the Dark Fantasy Land of Conservative Paranoiaville located right next to the FEMA Camps and Pizza Gate, and framed by Chemtrails.
