[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9013209, member: 18"] I guess you may have deleted, but this isn't critical thinking on your part, brah, this is naivete and a sad lack of genuinely critical thinking. There are plenty of fascists, even actual Nazis or Nazi-adjacent people who are non-white and follow "non-white" religions. The Nazi leadership tended to oppose/conflict with Christianity, remember. For example, the RSS in India were directly inspired by and very keen on the Nazis (albeit even more keen on Mussolini's fascists): [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh[/URL] It's a common modern fallacy to believe that the Nazis hated people solely based on skin colour or the like. They had a deeply bizarre and almost incomprehensible racial ideology when it came down to (which wasn't fixed, either), which included several non-white groups as "Aryans" (including the Nepalese), and included the usually-regarded-as-white-today "Slavs" as "subhuman".
