Talk:Denazification
Add topicNeutral point of view concerns
[edit]This is a possibly controversial area and Putin's nazification are controversial. Putin is not mentioned in the lead section of the linked article on the English Wikipedia but is mentioned on the lead section here. That is an indicator that Putin may be positively or negatively platformed here. There is sufficient to raise a {{npov}} warning concern. -- Djm-leighpark(a)talk 01:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for expressing your concern. With respect for those who may see it differently, it seems that the only conflict here is apparently between truth & lies.

Removing some wordy blather from article to this page,
[edit]People wordily accusing other people they dislike of being Nazis -- do not automatically generate quotable quotes, nor are such neener-neener accusations enlightening "quotes" on the topic of denazification. Here are quotes I removed from the topic page to here, so that others can take a look at them and decide which ones go here. HouseOfChange (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- What can one say about a country where a museum of science in a great city can feature an exhibit in which people fire machine guns from a helicopter at Vietnamese huts, with a light flashing when a hit is scored? What can one say about a country where such an idea can even be considered? You have to weep for this country. These and a thousand other examples testify to moral degeneration on such a scale that talk about the “normal channels” of political action and protest becomes meaningless or hypocritical. We have to ask ourselves whether what is needed in the United States is dissent —or denazification. The question is a debatable one. Reasonable people may differ. The fact that the question is even debatable is a terrifying thing. To me it seems that what is needed is a kind of denazification. p. 16.

- After several decades of courageous scholarship by Hugo Ott, Victor Farias and Emmanuel Faye in Europe, and related work by American scholars Thomas Sheehan, Richard Wolin, Tom Rockmore and others, no sensible observer today doubts that Heidegger, the most celebrated figure in twentieth-century German philosophy, lied his inauthentic head off about his relationship to the Nazis.

- Violence in the United States surpasses the unthinkable and increasingly resides in the space of apocalyptic rage, manufactured ignorance, and the normalization of a pervasive culture of ritualized barbarism.... The language of violence, cruelty, and disposability are the political currency of a Nazi past and have emerged in what can be called the current Nazification of the present. The process of Nazification has almost reached its endpoint and the planet hangs in the balance.
