What the fuck is “second-hand Nazism”?
Dibbix@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Which part is confusing you? You seem well acquainted with Nazism so I’ll assume it’s the “second hand” part.
A definition of ‘second hand’ is ‘indirect’ or ‘from an intermediate source’. Ergo, in my comment i meant they would be getting talking points from people who don’t think they’re Nazis but converse frequently with Nazis.
Does that clear it up for you?

I’m not acquainted with Nazism.
Why would you think conversing with Nazis makes people spread their talking points to others?

Just gonna pretend that the rest of the thread doesn’t exist, are you?
We’re talking about the high number of neo-nazis on Gab and their influence on Gab in general. Could someone have a conversation with a Nazi about the weather? Maybe, but the odds of the phrase “Jewish space lasers” coming up is significantly higher than in a conversation with someone who isn’t a Nazi.
But to be clear, i did not say “conversing with Nazis makes people spread their talking points to others”. I said they would be getting talking points from Nazis. Nothing is “making” people spread Nazism.
