   One thing you have to understand about nazis is that foundationally, they're in on it, and you're not. And what this means in practical terms is that they can lie to you, even ridiculously so, and it has no negative effects on them in their social structures even if they're caught

   You aren't real, you aren't a person to them, you're stick people, they're the only ones with agency in this worldview. "Duping the rubes" successfully or otherwise, gains social capital for nazis. Trolling writ large

     Ultimately what this means in practice is not only should you assume nazis are lying to you, because they're nazis, but you should also realize that in the rare moment a nazi is actually telling you the truth about something, this is only because doing so serves a larger purpose of manipulating you.

     Again, they're people, you're not. They have agency, you are "an NPC." Never ever assume they see you as anything else, or you'll get the wrong answer.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Yes! They have zero loyalty to reason or logic. Arguments are for binding you up, not arriving at a conclusion. They delight in saying absolute horse shit that they think you have to dig your way out of. Fascism is fundamentally arational. It doesn't care about that. It cares about having enough power to enact violence on the people it hates, which is EVERYONE, including each other.
