An older relative I grew up with had a troubled adolescence, which included a flirtation with national socialism. Thankfully he never became a Nazi per se, but he had some friends who were actual Nazis, like in the 1980 Blues Brothers movie. One day, perhaps in 1971, one of them came to the house while I was watching cartoons and asked if I noticed they were of lesser quality than before. I said not really, but he enlightened me by declaring "It's the Jews!" Apparently he was referring to the animation quality measure of frames per second FPS), and that somehow "the Jews" decreased the FPS to save money. I doubt he had no actual knowledge of this.


People under 55 or so probably don't realize that long before anyone who disagreed with progressives was a Nazi there were actual Nazis, notably the National Socialist Party of America (forming in 1970 and dissolving in 1981). They paraded around in Brown-Shirt type uniforms and wore swastika armbands, and were most famous for the pro-Nazi demonstration planned for Skokie, IL (a suburb of Chicago with a large Jewish population including Holocaust survivors) in 1977. Ultimately the demonstration was held in Chicago in the following year, with a whopping 25 Nazis showing up.
