3. Are you familiar with Nazis?

Have you read about their crimes and propaganda machine? Are you aware of the impact they had?

CNN, while making some changes, are not Nazis, much less "full-on". This is hyperbolic bullshit. Wanna see REAL Nazi news because I have many examples. As far as our media, the closest would be OAN.

OAN host uses photo of Nazis, Nazi quote to justify banning books from schools

A host on the far-right One America News Network (OAN) used a photo of Nazis burning books in a segment justifying banning books from schools. She also referenced a quote that's widely credited to a Nazi propagandist.

On Monday's episode of her OAN show, Kara McKinney defended right-wing efforts to purge schools of supposedly objectionable material.

"I think banning pornographic books from schools is not only justifiable but the only moral option," she said. "It's our duty to purge our schools of such filth."

While McKinney says she is in favor of banning "pornographic" books, the justification is often just a euphemism used on the right for any material having to do with LGBTQ identity. She was responding to a post by Randi Weingarten, president of one of America's biggest teacher unions, who shared a list of books she claimed Florida was banning that turned out to be false.

Organizing American Nazis would be an appropriate use of the moniker, "Nazi".
