Maybe the Nazi needs to listen instead of vice versa.

Comrade, what you’re proposing is conversationally moving the goalposts. Nazis are pushing society apart, not us. We simply remained normal.

Moving the goalposts… Nazis WANT to move those. They are allies of capitalists, because Nazis favour a very top-down economic structure, where large coorporations work with the government to maximise profit. In that regard. Nazis often think that if they bootlick coorporations and dictators enough, they can acquire all the wealth and power – which they don’t.

If someone needs to reconcile, it’s the Nazis by denazifying entirely. Not the normal people. THEN we can fight capitalism together as united forces.

The emotionally unstable one is the Nazi :3

Wanting to have people die/suffer for being Jewish, Palestinian, queer, or whatever, that IS emotional instability. Normal people don’t want others to die. :3

Realise that you’re choosing to listen to Nazis rather than not interact with them, or not to listen to them.

Sure, someone is family. But as someone for whom family is important – even I would have my borders. If that family member were to constantly make horrid remarks – would you then really want to spend that energy having a dinner with them? The OP already has tried to talk several times and express how it bothers them. But the Nazi ignores that and doesn’t change their behaviour.

Then it’s clear: for your mental health, it’s better not to talk with them anymore. Some people, however extreme, are reconcillable. But those where you reach out multiple times, and they don’t wish to listen - there it’s a waste of time.

Nazis are way more of an echo chamber than normal people are, and the only answer to that is to close the door behind, with a note: “will talk with you only, once you change your behaviour”.

OP has tried to reach out multiple times to address their concerns, but all reactions from the family member boil down to not wanting to listen to these concerns. Is the OP then creating an echo chamber, or is the Nazi creating that for himself? Take your time to reflect on what your decision entails.

A nazi salute isn’t exactly a small political difference.

NTA. A fascist is no longer family. You don’t even need the context for this, the red line is so brightly painted there that you’d have to be dead not to notice it.

The pink path is not for pedestrians. It’s for bicyclists.

And when driving, don’t quickly stop when you see cars in front of you driving slowly. Instead, gradually lessen your speed, that helps reduce traffic jams.

Letters and talking IRL.
