Edit: What terms might you use instead of “Nazi sympathizing?”
I lost a friend to the Nazi movement. I’m not white, and I imagine all the time if I could use his racism to fetishize me until I get enough anti racist propaganda across and he leaves the Nazi movement. I didn’t realize how horrifyingly sad this was until I tried looking up the search term “romance stories” and shit like, German soldier falls for Jewish woman or racist falls for black woman, showed up.
Half the time I hope his antivax ass dies of a disease, and I hate his guts. The other half I try to think up of ways he’s so attracted to me, he sits in for anything I have to say until he’s convinced into respecting me, and being on my side of history.
I don’t think anyone fetishizes their way into fully respecting someone. My imagined scenarios would be dumb and potentially dangerous.
At the end of the day, I never want to see him again. I don’t want to hate him, feel grief about losing him, or imagine these scenarios. I just want to be.
“Nazi sympathizer” is definitely not the term you’re looking for.
“Nazi sympathizer” means something entirely different than what you meant.
If I’m understanding correctly, you are heartbroken by the connection you lost with a person who has become a Nazi? That is not Nazi sympathy, you may consider the title of this post.
You understand right. Based on answers, I don’t think I know what Nazi sympathizing is.
I think sympathizer is the wrong word.
