      Cause I could shoot you on sight, claim you’re a Nazi, and it’s now on you to defend yourself… from the grave

        To be fair, there’s a pretty decent amount of self-identification going on among modern (neo) Nazis.

      Because this is not how justice work in modern countries, unless you’re a nazi or a tankie.

        More because it would have entailed quite the logistical conundrum as it’s a bit difficult to run a country when most of its citizens are dead.

      The Punk scene does, kinda. They don’t shoot Nazis, but if Nazis/skinheads/fascists show up, they leave with black eyes, bloody noses, and fewer teeth.

      Complete denazification was kind of a myth actually. It took many decades to prosecute many perpetrators of the Shoa and WW2 on both sides of the Iron Curtain.

      …also with what? /s

      Demilitarisation was one of the post-war Ds (there are still like 20 million guns in Germany though).
