Nazi -- The N-word for white people.

SO, I heard a great comment on the fact that Trump Supporters, with their rebel flags, nearly 100% White Protestant makeup, and racist policies/ideology, REALLY hate being called or compared to Nazis. They object to it, and will always try to counter your words with the usual flawed baloney about how liberals/socialists are the real Nazis, because "Nazi" stands for "National Socialism". Yeah -- they don't get that "National Socialism" is not "Socialism" when "National" is preceding it -- that "National Socialism" is not liberal at all, and never has been, and implies conservative, fascist, Nazi ideolgy.

Therefore, we should keep calling them Nazis, because that makes "Nazi" an "N-word" that White people hate to be called.

I Love this idea. It's totally on the mark.

Now that I have thrown that at you, let's talk about what Trump supporters, Nazis, Klansmen, and other similar people REALLY ARE.

Forget about Racism. Racism is a side-note. Most of these people would treat other white people the same, if they had any disagreements with them.

Forget about Conservatism. Most of these people are not actually conservative in their ideology, and have no clue what the tenets of that ideology are when they see it.

Forget about Christians. Most of the Protestant Evangelicals in America gave up trying to actually believe in the actual faith of Christianity when they embraced money and profit over being kind to one another.

Forget about homophobia and sexism. Most of these people wouldn't know if anyone was gay, unless gay people had a dress code, and how they treat women is definitely not part of any Conservative, Nazi, or Christian way of thinking.

Forget all of those things, and focus on what these people really are, and what they all have in common...

They are Mafia and disorganized Criminals. This is the most accurate way of looking at these Rednecks, Gopniks, Provincials, Yokels, and Dregs of Society. Most of these people aren't community-oriented, and tend to have personal problems with neighbors, even when they try to form communities of their own. They are all borderline criminals who can easily cross the line to committing a crime, and most of the ones who don't already have criminal records would cross the line only if they felt very safe among a group, and knew that the chances of being arrested were very low.

The Nazis were more a Mafia than a group looking to better society. Their ideology was constructed upon the deliberate destruction of their perceived enemies by violence, pillaging, and purging. When the state had given them the signal that they would not be charged with any crimes for murder, pillage, rape, and other things, against their enemies, they proceeded to shamelessly brutalize everyone on their enemies list with impunity. In Sicily, and in the USA, where Italian Mafia were established, the organized crime families got support from the public by exploiting corrupt police and politicians, and getting the public to accept that the Mafia was looking out for them, and that if they killed anyone, it was because they deserved it. Even when police officers were murdered, stalked, and trial witnesses murdered so they could not testify, it was always promoted as "just business".

Likewise, many motorcycle clubs in America, such as the Hell's Angels, The Outlaws, and the Banditos, formed criminal enterprises, and are popular because many of their operations are talked about in terms of "fighting against the man", or deceiving authorities, or making corrupt law enforcement look stupid. It doesn't matter that many of these biker gangs have murdered, robbed banks, or actually negatively impacted innocents who got unwittingly caught in their crossfire (both literal and actual crossfire). Their image is promoted and repeated until enough people believe it. It doesn't matter to many that many police officers were murdered by them -- they promote the idea that police treat them with an unfair amount of suspicion.

These people are criminals, because they are essentially against the rule of law.

They do not believe that their actions should be constrained by those pesky things we call laws, rights, and justice. They wish to do what they want, whether it's full-blown organized crime, or simply getting away with rude and repugnant behavior in public, and have no care or worries about responsibility or blow-back. In essence, these people want to commit crimes, whether it's against their traditional enemies, or against each other when disagreements emerge. This is exactly what happened in the past with Mafias and Nazis. When different Mafia organizations crossed into each other's perceived territories, the end result was always gang wars and murders. When The American Nazi Party elected their new leader, George Lincoln Rockwell, back in 1967, over several other candidates, rather than accept that he won, a conspiracy to murder him was carried out by his rivals, and following that, the rivals went after each other, until the American Nazi Party schizmed into dozens of quarreling and increasingly smaller factions. Many of those factions turned into organized criminal organizations, which made their money by robbing homes and banks, and murdering police officers.

This time around, we need to get it out of our head that these are "just people with alternative minority ideologies" who are marginalized. That is an invalid claim of theirs, and no news agencies should take it seriously. These people are promoting crimes, elevating organized criminals, trying to water-down murders and attempted murders that their members commit, by either saying that the victims deserved it, or by having politicians create legislation that allows drivers to run over protestors. These people, whether they realize it or not, are in favor of lawlessness, where nobody is accountable for anything that they do, and where the law takes on the form of mob rule, where police and justice become irrelevant.

If the ultimate criminal act is treason, then many people in the upper ranks of the Republican party are also criminals, because they either are trying to pass laws to protect the further criminal activity of Donald Trump, or they are actively ignoring his treason, and will actively block any attempts to impeach him of put him on trial.

So please, call these people Nazis if it satisfies you, and makes them angry. But remember that the reality of Nazis, Klansmen, the NRA, Donald Trump, and many of his supporters, is that they are criminals fighting to normalize crime, fighting against Justice, fighting against the rule of Law, fighting against the Constitution, and fighting against any sense of society or community. Because they are criminals, we need to be increasingly more vigilant, and increasingly more willing to take the fight to them when the time is right. No society run by criminals, warlords, or Mafia dons ever lasts long. No American would actually want to live in a country where, even if just for a year or two, there was no law or justice.
