      No.

      It’s someone who has the weird liberal trait of not considering origins of things if it aligns with their current political goals.

      Worst case it’s on the same tier as ““national SOCIALIST” =“a socialist who likes their nation””

        I don’t know what my polital goal is here, but I don’t support Ukraine if that’s what you’re suggesting. I thought maybe someone would explain why freikorps is necessarily connected with Nazism (especially if we are concerned about the “origin of things” as you say). Unfortunately nobody has really been that helpful.

        I guess if everyone just associates freicorps with nazis then that’s what it is. It therefore makes it a safe bet that whoever is using it is doing the same. I ended up looking into this group in particular and yeah they are Nazis so checks out.

      things like this really make me wonder what non-leftists learn about history. I had someone telling me that they didn’t know which French Revolution I was talking about when I said The French Revolution and I think they might have been serious.
