The concept of "degeneracy" should be a rallying point for the culture wars. We should popularize the term as much as possible and get people thinking about why degeneracy is bad for the health of communities and nations

"Degeneracy" was quite literally one of the Nazi's favorite whipping boys. They applied the concept to people, races, sexual orientations, political ideologies and even styles of art, and railed against it whenever they needed to get the sheep worked into a frothy lather.

It's telling you want to resurrect this.

While I do not support meatball4u ~ I also think your comments are very "telling" as well. The nazis did lots of things. Are we supposed to self-censor for the rest of time because the nazis existed? Invoking Hitler every two seconds is the peak of being anti-progress.

The Nazis' attacks on "degenerate" races, cultures, etc., was a core tenet of their racist ideology. It was not, as you imply, just one of the many things they happened to believe, such as "abusing animals is bad" or "smoking is unhealthy".

OP is trying to revive a core Nazi belief. As full of Neo-Nazis as Saidit is, this is not surprising. And people should be aware of it.

But meatball4u wasn't talking about race. No one but you is.

But 'degenerate' invokes race when applied as a term describing society. Hell, 'genetics' and 'degenerate' share the same root! It's not at all some big leap, especially when it is a known neo-nazi talking point to insinuate race while avoiding explicit mention of it. Looks like it, smells like it, sounds like it... is that rain on my leg??

The logical conclusion would be that not everything the Nazis did was evil. I think that believing one race is more degenerate than another is ignorant, but being against degeneracy like pedophilia and overfeeding oneself til the point of major disease is morally correct. r/AgainstDegenerateSubs has banned loads of subreddits with child porn and sexualization as well as ones where people encourage each other to consume as many calories as possible so as to become disabled and sick. I'm not joking, it's sick and wrong, but the people often defend themselves by saying things like "it's my fetish, you shouldn't judge". There was even a sub they banned where people purposefully overfed their cats to create "chonkers" for likes and karma, and many of their cats died of disease. If Nazis are against that kind of thing, I guess Nazis aren't totally bad
