No, because most American White Supremacists wouldn't consider Poles to be Untermenschen. The point being is that I think what you end up implying is that the two terms are at least nearly synonymous. I'm pretty sure I get your point, and even agree at a level. However, I think it over simplifies the evolution of Nazism within Germany and that it had more than one defining concept; and the conflation is quite inflammatory if not accompanies with a big paragraph explaining the similarities and the limits of the comparison.Is there anyone else on this thread, or indeed upon this good Earth, that thinks calling an American White Supremacist a 'Nazi Sympathizer' is incorrect or somehow shifting goalposts?
It is kind of like how most all people who think public displays of the Confederate flag is cool, really aren't thinking we should go back to the 'good ol' days of actual slavery. They may be racist assholes, but really aren't studying books by George Fitzhugh.
