Three of my professors are nazis

Stormtroper

Obviously they don't call themselves nazis, but nationalists and such.

Now, two of them aren't too bad, they keep it to themselves and keep it private, but one of them is open about it and talks about it in class.

How come the university is OK with this?

RedEyedAbyss

Which degree are you taking?

Hatter

Because I'm pretty sure it's illegal to discriminate against someone based on their political views?

Chagen

Nationalism =/= Nazism

MadassAlex

You got one too many / in there, Chuggles.

nohaynicklibre

Nationalsocialism = Nazism

Chagen

Nationalism is not Nazism. Nazism is a fringe subset of Nationalism.

I myself am a European Nationalist.

MadassAlex

Europe isn't a nation. x_X

Chagen

A nation is any collection of people grouped under one common factor.

Europeans all belong to the "nation" of Europe.

Hatter

So there's a human nation? Or a white nation? Or a male nation?

nohaynicklibre

So by that logic, you are from the same nation as someone from Venezuela?

Chagen

Technically, yes. They don't really mean much anyway.

MadassAlex

One common factor?

I have skin.

I guess I am in the Skin People Nation.

Europe is a continent.

DonZabu

What exactly do they talk about that makes them Nazis or nationalists, Stormtrooper? Are they German or something?

MadassAlex

Aw, c'mon, that's low.

ninjaclown

Nationalism of any sort is retarded.

It is, Patriotism is just a word of American nationalism. I'm Chinese and even I'm tired of Chinese nationalism. Add the elitism of the European Union and I just want to tell these countries to go jack each other off.

CommandoDude

Nationalism is basically near the same as fascism.



My art teacher in highschool was something of an art nazi.

Bee

But if they jack each other off, it's not nationalism, it's multinationalism...

Chagen

Sure are a lot of people who don't really know anything about Nationalism in here.

IanExMachina

Nationalism is a political ideology that involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a political entity defined in national terms, i.e. a nation. In the 'modernist' image of the nation, it is nationalism that creates national identity. There are various definitions for what constitutes a nation, however, which leads to several different strands of nationalism. It can be a belief that citizenship in a state should be limited to one ethnic, cultural or identity group, or that multinationality in a single state should necessarily comprise the right to express and exercise national identity even by minorities.

^^ And I'm sure that you know just as much about nationalism as about rationalism.

D'aww at the caterpie.

"^^ And I'm sure that you know just as much about nationalism as about rationalism."

I know enough to know that it isn't always extreme fascistic Nazism.

I'm sure Stormtrooper meant Nazi. After all, all German nationalists are Nazis. 

Bob

Seconding all of what ninjaclown said. Also,
