Technically it's always been a slur

MFW Nazi's avoided calling themselves nazis lol

A homonymic term Nazi was in use before the rise of the NSDAP in Bavaria as a pet name for Ignatz and (by extension from that) a derogatory word for a backwards peasant, which may have influenced[2] the use of that abbreviation by the Nazis' opponents and its avoidance by the Nazis themselves.[1][3]

I've always found it amusing when people identify themselves as Nazi's on voat. A term actual nazis wouldn't use to describe themselves lol.

Furthermore what's more interesting is how nazi's would throw away their beliefs one by one as the war grew desperate. Hitler would align w/ mussolini. Interestingly they both argued to be Aryan w/ Mussolini saying Aryans grew lighter as they evolved and Hitler claiming Italians had "negroid blood" as a result of Moorish invasions. They even allowed slavs (who they deemed as "subhuman") to serve in their ranks as the war effort grew desperate. "Japanese as honorary Aryans". Surprisingly Hitler's Army was very multicultural and even had arab SS soldiers. I'm just saying the nuances of history are particularly interesting and largely untaught.

Even more interesting is how few people know that Hitler's nephew William Patrick Hitler fought for the US against his Uncle.

He even went as far to writing to FDR so that he would be allowed to serve

MFW there was a "Hitler" who was a decent bloke.

Check out this "look" magazine article on him from the era

Anyways added a bunch of content @kannibal

Decent bloke? The guy was bitching to the real Hitler to get him a better job for ages!
