Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? (aussie.zone)

A few days ago I came across a comment in one of this Instance's Communities made by a user of this Instance, which very directly parroted Nazi talking points. Not in a way that was satirising Nazis, but which was endorsing their type of supremacist worldview.

Other comments in that thread noted that the user in question has a history of unironically endorsing a foreign genocidal regime and its actions.

I tried reporting the comment in question, but as of today the comment still stands and the user who made the comment has been as active as ever.

Is this Instance ok with Nazis?

That’s the thing. It annoys me because it justifies it, if you get what I mean. Israel’s actions are that of a genocidal rogue state and yet the government seems to be more concerned about policing activist than overtly stating that what Israel is doing is wrong. Like plenty of “Israel has a right to defend itself” at the start but now practically crickets when Gaza has been bombed into oblivion, disproportional civilian casualties and starving them out. Don’t get me started on the fact that Netanyahu has conned the US’ dope in chief into assisting them widen the campaign to Iran.

I think I get what you mean, but I would say that it only "justifies it" to people looking for a reason to justify it. It doesn't actually make the government more likely to give Israel support than they already were, IMO.

Sorry the wording is jank. To clarify I mean the government (in)actions on Palestine justifying pro Palestine activism despite me stating my weariness with it. As in “hard to complain about the activism when the government continuously necessitates it” to a degree.

Ah fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.
