You know, when you speak of things like 3P, NPD, NF, those are not abbreviations that have meaning outside certain places. The Internet is worldwide.

I mean, I’ve indicated which countries I’m referring to. It’s still going to require some knowledge of Nationalist history or at least a cursory reading of the Wikipedia pages to digest it. National Front UK and NPD Germany are both things you should read up on to get a sense of our history, to make it more explicit. NF achieved such a significant breakthrough that it briefly was the fourth biggest party in the UK and laws have literally been changed to try to ban NPD. 3P is used within this board to mean Third Position.

Just naming them is enough. Do YOU know the abbreviations of all the political parties worldwide, where ABC can ONLY mean this or that? I don't think so. Very few, if any, people do.

I know about the National Front in the UK, and the Nationalist Party of Germany (I'm still not sure what the P stands for, you haven't said, but whatever). My point is, we can know the broad outlines of what these parties are, without necessarily associating abbreviations to each political party of every foreign nation with perfect recall. That would be useless mind-clutter.

I can’t imagine that there’s a tool on the Internet that you could use to solve this problem besides ranting at people to fix it for you...

Because the correct way to have a conversation is to sift through thousands of search results for every expression one is unsure of, and communication is NOT about expressing oneself in such a way that the reader understands. Got it.
