'Unity' with Nazi sympathizers: An ugly problem within parts of the political Right

[Michie]

There’s an ugly new current running through parts of the political Right — a growing attempt to sanitize what should never be sanitized: overt fascism, national socialism, kinist racial theory, and anti-Jewish conspiracy. In corners of the internet and certain activist spaces, people are “ironically” quoting Hitler, praising the Third Reich’s “order,” and calling all Jews “globalist parasites.” Some of them even try to reframe Hitler as some misunderstood nationalist hero.

That alone is disturbing enough. But what’s worse is the emerging chorus of voices — including influential conservatives like Matt Walsh — saying we need unity, even with them, for the sake of “winning politically” (“no enemies to the right”).

To be clear: unity itself is good. Conservatives have lost far too much ground to pointless infighting. We’ve split over secondary issues and handed the Left the culture war on a silver platter. But unity is not a moral blank check. True unity can’t come at the expense of first principles — truth, human dignity, and liberty under God. Once we trade those for the illusion of strength, we don’t win. We rot from within.

There’s actually a perfect parallel for this in the church world. Years ago, the “Revoice” movement emerged in Evangelical circles — marketing itself as a “safe space” for LGBT inclusion within Christianity. It claimed to just “welcome” everyone, but beneath that language was a quiet redefinition of biblical truth. By normalizing sin under the banner of compassion, Revoice diluted the Gospel it claimed to uphold. It was seeker sensitivity for homosexuality — a slow moral surrender dressed up as kindness.

Is this "Nazi" as in Nationalsozialismus, or "Nazi" as used by those who deem anyone who isn't one of them a Nazi? Since some call Israel and its supporters "fascists" and growing antisemitism seems to be coming from "progressives," it needs to be asked.

While there is a streak of those we can all agree don't support, for example, political support for the nation/state of Israel on the right, and some have gone into conspiracy-theory land with it - that particularity exists in greater quantity on the political left, and is far more violent on the left when it comes right down to it.

I agree dialogue is in order for those who might support more political support for Israel, but they have to speak to both sides and not just single out those from one party though I do admit our own biases might have us wanting to take sides against only one political side of the aisle.

And speaking to the facts and not people condemning is super important. Calling someone a Nazi because they don't share your views on every minute detail is over the line.

That said, people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. While those on the right side of the aisle might not always agree it's not like we are over here hoping for more socialism at the voting booth - quite the opposite actually - and actual Nazis and anti semites aren't being voted into office enmass.

The same cannot be said for the left side of the aisle - a full blown antisemetic communist is about to be Mayor of New York with the full and robust support of the entire democratic party - he's even got Senators stumping for him.

He wants to globalise the intifada, in New York .. enjoy that. Surely communism will be successful and not at all deadly when led by Islamic radicals.

While voices on the right might speak in accordance with their free speech there's none of them getting their shot at being evil from public office except for perhaps accidentally.

We do pray for those we see as having broad inaccuracies in their thinking but as Christians we try to speak with humility, love and kindness and try to provide a better framework, and if it's not accepted then it's not.

Change is in God's hands so if you purport to speak on behalf of God then maybe don't call people Nazis unless they actually are - an off color joke really isn't it, even if they face some judgement over it. After a group of people are falsely accused of being Nazis for a decade, there will be some joking that seems inappropriate coming from a wounded place. Seems human nature.
