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?

OK. So you took my comment totally out context.

Wat, am I missing something here. Doesn’t really seem out of context at all. Seems like you’re claiming it was an ironic remark on behalf of the Palestinians, accusing them of genocidal intent with the chant? Misinterpreted maybe. Which is shown by:

You know who else I have heard use the concept living space? A Rwandan. I met a Rwandan when I was a member/speaker at the Marxist Institute in nyc. I asked why he did it, he said it was traditionally their land and they needed the land to live. I was shocked and asked, Even children.

So you know it has at least genocidal connotations then? Which seems to contradict.

what you wrote never even crossed my mind.

From a quick interpretation it seems you’re claiming “I was making an ironic remark implying people being genocided are the ones being genocidal, not a Nazi dog whistle.” Which ya know, the first kinda contradict the second.

The rest, i.e the protest stuff is anecdotal and even if it did happen, doesn’t really add anything to this particular discussion. Given a lot of comments under the post OP is referencing seem to question the meaning of your comment maybe providing context there would have been the move. For all the good it would have done.
