A coworker said Stephen Miller can’t be a Nazi because he is Jewish…
Yeah, I've heard that one. The answer is that PeeWee Himmler ISN'T a Nazi. None of them are. The Nazis were from the mid-20th century. In the mid-19th century, they were called Confederates. In the 21st century, they're called MAGA. It's not that these people are Nazis, it's just that all those groups draw from that same slice of society's underbelly that exists at any given time.
These people have always existed, and after we've crushed and purged MAGA from our government and our society, they'll still be there. A healthy society recognizes this, and slaps those dipshits down as soon as they get froggy. Occasionally, a country weakens, and these people are always waiting like coiled springs, ready to spring into treasonous action. Capitalism weakened us into allowing the rise of MAGA, and once they're gone, we have to be more vigilant in the future.
Have they never seen Schindlers list? In the first 10 mins you find out jews were complicit in their own demise. The character says "its not so bad and the pay is great".
Yep I’ve told him that too and he just says it’s completely made up. Yet he is Mexican and fully supports ice and what they are doing to the Mexican community.
He's a special kind of stupid.
Maybe he can explain the Haavara Agreement to you then.

Your coworker needs to be shown that page.
Which, in my opinion, is the same thing as any Hispanic person working for ICE. Bet it’s the same mentality.

No amount of facts can change these idiots minds.
I will definitely send this to him but I doubt he will read it.
Print out the good bits in size 20-30 font and place on his desk
Your coworker should look into what Miller's own family has to say about him.
That’s what I told him and he says it’s all a psyop I’m falling for.
Copium is a powerful drug.
It's funny how gullible people of all stripes often have the same ultimate fallback when faced with information that challenges their worldview: it's due to a government psyop/troll farm/et cetera.
Ah right. That would have been my cue to stop speaking with this person beyond the bare minimum needed to do my job.
After laughing in their face, of course.
Yea pretty much what I did.
