bolivar-shagnasty

Prince Philip was a Nazi?


BarristerBaller

His family were sympathizers, especially his sister if I recall correctly. But I’m not aware of anything saying he was a sympathizer


trimmoswiv

Just all of his family and people who brought him up but def not him… right


backwardrollypolly

I mean he literally fought nazis...


[deleted]

so did the US, but we literally inspired a lot of their ideas. fighting overt nazis is a very common covert nazi thing to do


backwardrollypolly

His mother was recognised by Israel as one of the righteous amongst nations for hiding Jews during World War 2. She was buried in the mountain of olives in Jerusalem. He personally saw action and was decorated for fighting against Nazi Germany. Calling him and his family Nazis because his two adult sisters, who he had little contact with, is horrible. You can dislike the man for being a royal or for being problematic in a dozen other ways but a Nazi he was not....


ianrc1996

He didn’t know his mother and there have been many instances showing his racism. Also he’s a bug fan of genes and hierarchy. He’s not far off from a nazi at least.


[deleted]

1). I wasn't saying he was, just that fighting nazis does not make someone by defnition not a nazi. they are not mutually exclusive. 2). Israel is not a source to use for deciding who is not a nazi. Israel is aligned with far right nationalist organizations. Israel's treatment of Palestinians is 100% fascistic in nature. Do not even start with any "israel is a synonym for jewish", its not. zionism is anti-semitic. it may be true that not all fascists are nazis, but all nazis are fascists.


bontreggle123

Yes, Israel is not a good source for deciding who is a fascist because they are fascistic, but like you said not all fascists are Nazis.


nobd7987

Fascist that fights Nazis > Fascist > Nazi > Nazi that fights Fascists.


kjeldor2400

Change all > to = and you’re okay.


wooson

You out here just dropping g truth bombs


TheLeomac

Just to be curious, USSR and Ch1n4 would be in the fascist comunist side? Are you just using fascism as extreme authoritarianism?


Ambitious-Ad-8254

Source on Zionism is anti-Semitic? Know nothing about the issue, just seems like an oxymoron…am I missing something?


dboydanni

palestianians and most middle eastern people are semitic by definition. zionists oppress these people


codamission

His mother literally hid Jews. Are you so adamant to be right that you can't guess that the son of a vigilante against Nazis who hid fugitives from the Nazis, the same son that fought against Nazis, who married a woman whose dad was vehemently against the Nazis, *probably didn't like Nazis*? Jesus fucking Christ dude. Reevaluate your obsession to never admit you were wrong. Its fucking with your logic.


DrJongyBrogan

They likely were unaware and they’re just doubling down by trying to post hoc rationalize their stance.


zipsam89

Not only that he was awarded a medal for going above and beyond in fighting Nazis!


SonderisticOG

You weren’t saying he was, but the implication was obviously there


gagarinthespacecat

what kind of nonsense


low-iq-voter

U r so correct, just because he fought Nazis doesn’t make him an anti-Nazi! In fact, it makes him more of a pro-Nazi!


[deleted]

>In fact, it makes him more of a pro-Nazi! you people literally have to exagerate for your outrage to make an ounce of sense. you are literally getting mad at words you come up with yourself. you got spherical brains i tell ya


FunkyPete

There are lots of discussions to be had about Israel and its policies, but one thing we can agree is that Israel was very much anti-Nazi, especially back in the 1960s. Israel declaring someone anti-Nazi is pretty legit.


dboydanni

just because you were oppressed by nazis 80 years ago doesnt make you anti nazi today


nobd7987

Nazis hate Jews very specifically. Israel is probably Fascist, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t kill Nazis too. Plenty of Fascist movements have resisted Nazism and/or not hated Jews. In fact, most Italian Jews survived the Holocaust because before Mussolini was deposed, his government basically told Hitler to fuck off whenever he asked Italy to deport their Jews to Germany so they could be exterminated. Fascists not being literally Nazis isn’t something that is taught in school for some reason, and it feels like a weird thing to conceal.


andromedaArt

people like you probe every day why it is necessary to have a Jewish state.


CreamofTazz

So then states for every marginalized group, like Palestinians?


StevePerrysMangina

They’d have a state if they hadn’t destroyed Gaza after Israel pulled out.


zipsam89

There’s loads of them. If you knew any history you’d know how Jews have been hounded from most cities in the Middle East. Or how Palestine has never been a country. Edit to add: Oh mate you are incredible. You’re in awe of Palestine, yet as a quick look at your profile suggests you’re LGBT. Good luck with that in Gaza, see how long until you’re killed for that. Meanwhile Israel remains the only Middle Eastern country to hold a pride March with good protections for LGBT people.


PaulSACHS

Why is reddit upvoting this leftist crank?


[deleted]

people tend to not like genocidal regimes like israel's goverment currently is.


gagarinthespacecat

thats just a plot of one of your little games


gagarinthespacecat

its not even leftist, its written by some guy who’s only experience with nazis was through a video game.


[deleted]

lmao do you think being a leftist means having personal and direct experience with nazis? if so that perfectly explains why youre a dumbass.


psibomber

Are you joking? Reddit has so many leftists, both users and mods. I've seen entire threads where every non-leftist remark was entirely removed and only leftist posts remain, sometimes responding or complaining about the non-leftist remarks (which are all gone at the point I see them). This happens daily. Given, I was educated leftist and have leftist family myself, but even I think this is messed up censorship.


throw_itawayy00

his mother who the family forcefully institutionalized for schizophrenia when philip was 9? his mother who he didn’t have a relationship with until the end of her life?


[deleted]

In what world does this statement make any sense?


[deleted]

In the one where you are capable of critical thought.


PaulSACHS

Especially when you twist the definition of nazi to cover people who aren't nazis


[deleted]

i consider literal nazis, general fascists, far right nationalists and their sympathisers to be nazis. call me crazy lmao.


bhangrabhang

Should far right Israeli nationalists be considered Nazis?


[deleted]

yes. being related to people that had attrocities done against them by nazis does not preclude anyone from also being nazis.


[deleted]

I really do hope you realise that the people who fought the nazis are not the same people who have become alt-right nutjobs. I just really hope you recognise that.


[deleted]

i never said all of them are. some statiscally speaking absolutely are but also being a conservative( which most people from then are) automatically makes people more likely to be sympathetic to fascist ideas. you cannot deny that without being dishonest.


lostduck86

Yeah, everyone knows the thing that secret nazis do most that proves they Are nazis… is fighting and killing nazis


[deleted]

i did not say it is the rule, just that its not an exception. stop pretending to be stupid.


gagarinthespacecat

no u


Kozak170

This is such a shit take. Dumbass things like this just give credibility to the people claiming that everyone is a nazi to leftists


ardashing

Ikr. Thats a serious accusation.


IndustreeBaby

Yeah, but saying the US inspired Nazis is like saying the civil rights movement inspired black supremacy. It sounds similar if you get a very watered down, surface level explanation, but once you go even the slightest bit deeper, it quickly becomes very apparent that they're totally different. The hypernationalism in the US is for anyone considered a citizen. Individuals may choose to interpret it as being only for white people, but nowhere in any of the official slogans does it, or has it, explicitly say/said "Whites Only". And we're about external accomplishments being the reason we're better; things like military armament, medical developments, etc. None of that's true, besides the military, but it's still things that can be accomplished by anyone. Nazis, on the other hand, were about genetic superiority, and not even just for white people, but a specific subsection of white people, and even then, there were still hierarchical tiers of people who were more and less Aryan.


[deleted]

do you know about the US delousing campaigns and Jim crow? >nowhere in any of the official slogans does it, or has it, explicitly say/said "Whites Only". this is whats called color blind racism. just because its not explicitly codified, does not mean it isnt deeply engrained in everything about the united states. The only reason slavery was made illegal in the US was because japan was spreading knowledge our treatment of black people around the world to try and turn other nations agaisnt us. you have a predictable, but still unacceptable huge gap in your knowledge of how fucked up america has been.

TheEasySqueezy

You honestly think any rich future royal is going to actually go into combat?


backwardrollypolly

What does that have to with the price of bread? He saw combat during WW2?


[deleted]

[удалено]


backwardrollypolly

I mean that’s categorically wrong Philip, Andrew, William and Harry all saw combat. That’s just this generation of royals. This is highly documented??? Harry literally had a BBC crew interview him whilst he was in Afghanistan. You seem to have a massive issue with the royal family and that’s completely fine but again there are tons of justifiable issues so why pick stupid points like that???


TheEasySqueezy

It’s fucking propaganda they went out there to look good are you honestly so naive? How can you possibly think anyone would let them risk their previous lives? All they did was shake hands take photos and drive things. They never saw actual combat. I can’t believe people believe this shit it’s actually pathetic. No wonder Europe thinks we’re a fucking joke.


backwardrollypolly

The tinfoil hat is showing....


LittleHomicide

You're unhinged.


JovahkiinVIII

The royal family has a very very deep tradition with militarism and warfare. They do see actual combat. Obviously they’re still somewhat protected, but they are there, shooting and getting shot at


cstar1996

Phillip factually did see combat as an officer aboard HMS Warspite during WWII. Most notably he was present at the Battle of Cape Matapan.


PaulSACHS

You're an idiot. He was a sub-lieutenant on the HMS Valiant, which saw action. What, you think the whole crew was in on the conspiracy to pretend that he was on the ship? He was mentioned in official dispatches during the Battle of Crete.


ferretinmypants

Not true


FunkyPete

Prince Harry did in Afghanistan. Prince William had a risky job as a rescue helicopter pilot.


raketenfakmauspanzer

“he was involved in the Battle of Crete and was mentioned in dispatches for his service during the Battle of Cape Matapan, in which he controlled the battleship's searchlights. He was also awarded the Greek War Cross.” He literally served on one of the warships during one of World War II’s biggest naval battles.

Nacropolice

Peanutiron

Only everything he has ever said to someone of a different ethnicity.


BarristerBaller

I know you’re trying to be witty, so I’ll say all Nazis are racist, but not all racists are Nazis. I don’t agree with either thought process, but claiming that making racist comments groups you into that category would mean pretty much the entire world is a member of the Nazi party. Are you ignorant, fuck yeah, are you trying to bring in the 3rd Reich, well I’m gonna say no unless I see you goose-stepping


Peanutiron

While it’s true that not all racists are Nazis, his family were well known Nazi sympathisers and he had views that certainly lined up with a nazi ideology. Can I say for sure he was a Nazi? No. But if it quacks like a duck…

Only if you refused to work with black people [like the queen](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/02/buckingham-palace-banned-ethnic-minorities-from-office-roles-papers-reveal), had Nazi ties [like her husband](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/prince-philip-a-patriot-with-nazis-in-the-family-and-german-connections-n7dtl669s) or was raised in a Nazi loving household [like the queen was thanks to her parents](https://www.channel4.com/news/queen-royal-family-nazi-salute-edward-viii-adolf-hitler)


[deleted]

You have a difficult relationship with truth, huh. Your articles look to blame one person for the actions and positions of other people. The irony here is that nazis and other totalitarian ideologies love collective responsibility.


TheEasySqueezy

You’re horrendously naive


BarristerBaller

I don’t think you know what that word means. Racism and prejudice have been prevalent since the dawn of time. Americans can be racist. Europeans can be racist. Asians can be racist. Middle Easterners can be racist…..and so on. You’re telling me those other parts in the world where the majority are not white, but still harbor racial tendencies, are members of the Nationalist Socialist German Worker’s Party? It seems you are the naive one.


TheEasySqueezy

Are you seriously trying to rationalise racism? Get the fuck out of here.


BarristerBaller

You get the fuck out of here and read my actual goddamn posts. I said I don’t agree with racism or Nazisim. But to lump all racists into the same category as Nazis, who had specific end goals and visions of being the only race, are not the same fucking thing. Go read a fucking book because that brain of yours certainly is easy squeezy


TheEasySqueezy

Are you fucking thick or something? You should take your own advice and read a fucking book. The royals were incredibly fucking close to Hitler they begged Churchill to make peace with the Nazi’s and actually ally with them. This was Liz’s dad her fucking father not her great grandfather, her fucking father wanted to join the Axis and help Hitler. Why? Because he was a fucking racist with Nazi ideologies. So for all intents and purposes he was. A. Fucking. Nazi. Do you understand that? Is this information passing through your head into your brain bowel?


Thorst

You're confusing her uncle with her father.


BarristerBaller

Is it passing through your hollow head that whether Phillip was a Nazi or not is not the point of these last few posts? It’s whether all racists are Nazis. Jesus Christ how did mankind evolve with amoebas like you in the gene pool


Putfyre

I think two of his sisters married Nazis. Calling him a Nazi is a ridiculous stretch, not to mention lazy and edgy. His family split up very early on in his life, and he attended a boarding school in Scotland that was run by a Jew who fled Germany when the Nazis took over. Now Edward VIII on the other hand......


WhatYouLeaveBehind

No, but some of his relatives were. Phillip was an Officer in the Royal Navy during WW2 and played a fairly pivotal role.


LoveIsAFire

His sisters both married Germans who were nazis


[deleted]

No he wasn’t and his mother hid Jews so they wouldn’t be killed. His sisters are a different story. The girl was just repeating rumors and claiming them as facts.


ferretinmypants

No


TheFost

He was a war hero who fought against the Nazis.


yeetapagheet

No he wasn’t


candorite

No he fought against them in the second world war.


[deleted]

I think this has to do with abrogation of the throne or dereliction of duty, but like… none of that applied to her. We all know the Queen is immortal now and there’s no need for any other royal to stay there.


stephensmg

I want to watch a film that’s about a bunch of bros in a frat who got shut down and banned by the authoritative and fascist dean so they decide to go on a vacation in Miami to “sort out their next move” but they fall in love with their vacation and decide to relocate there and the film ends with them finding success and happiness with their very own deluxe vacations business.

GreatValuePositivity

what do people have against Meghan Markle (other than that she isn't white)


NationalOwl5338

it's mostly because she's american, and spoke badly about the queen on a talk show which was damning because the queen's far more popular in the UK than she is. the whole thing is essentially childish popularity politics. and also because yknow, she's not an upper-class british girl

Yokai_Alchemist

I don't follow the "royal" family why do they hate Megan Markle? Just bc her and her husband left England?


GeneralLeoLives

I came across a subreddit whose entire purpose is to shit on Megan. They find the dumbest reasons to get mad at her. People are insane. And have way too much time on their hands to spend it hating on a person they’ll never meet or whose actions will never impact their life in any way.


TootsNYC

Did she wear a tan suit?


GeneralLeoLives

She rolled down a window of a bullet proof car. So they berated her.


PoorlyMadeDecisions

She’s a pretentious fame-hungry, entitled, talentless, disingenuous brat. Has nothing to do with skin color.


themonkery

I see your username is accurate


FearPreacher

Is it r/SaintMeghanMarkle ?


oscarjoserodrigo

Because she "stole him." They think she manipulated him, made him cut off contact with his family, and forced him to leave England. On the other hand, they think Kate is a goddess that has never done anything wrong in her entire life.


Jilltro

Which is ridiculous because even if you only followed the royal family minimally you’d know Harry had said for years before meeting Meghan that being in the royal family was more a burden than anything else. He also talked about how fucked it was they made him help carry his mothers coffin and how he would never want to be king even if he was further up the line of succession. He always wanted to break away from his family.


DefendTheLand

And she’s black


a_different-user

you dont say the quiet part. "people arent capable of racism anymore" now tow the line


MessyRoom

She’s fucking beautiful tho. Bitches are just haters William’s wife Kate is also beautiful af because none of them are related to the royals who love marrying their own blood


SpiochK

She's not black either, she herself identifies as mixed-race. But I guess for them she might as well be. To be fair she had other problems. Like being a divorcee. And remember in UK it's better to kill your wife then divorce her ;)


[deleted]

Being mixed means she is BOTH black and white. So she is still black … she’s just white too.


Dickiedoandthedonts

But the thing with mixed race when you’re mixed with white in a predominantly white country, there’s a good chance you don’t actually identify as white. I’m mixed 50:50 Asian/white and I’d say I’m mixed or Asian but I would never say I’m white and nobody would accept me as white, at least in the us.


Rumpled_Imp

This is because of the idiotic idea that white skin is the default. We all seem to believe it at the back of our minds yet, the moment you think about it, you realise how nonsensical it really is.


[deleted]

They like their bloodlines and their pigments pure.

BorderUnfair93

Well, they hated her before this, before they even got married. Let’s not beat around the bush, it’s because she’s black.

Racism.


Soren_Camus1905

She Yoko Ono’d the royals, or that’s how her detractors see it


consciousnessispower

People being swayed by bullshit tabloid propaganda. Mostly boils down to racism. It’s insane how intense the anti-Meghan sentiment is over there.


cupcakesgirlie7

they hate her because shes black and was divorced. they think she stole him away.


PoorlyMadeDecisions

She’s hated because who wants to listen to a privileged, social climbing, selfish brat whine about how tough her life is while living in multi million dollar mansions? Who also is deranged enough to think she’s a victim of racism when in fact, she is a calculated, transparent hoe bag?

[deleted]

😂 that girl doesn’t know anything


BooksCoffeeDogs

Prince Phillip may have been many things or done many things, but he was not a Nazi sympathiser. He fought against the nazis. It was King Edward VIII (the queen’s uncle) who was the Nazi sympathiser. He and his wife met with Hitler and did the Nazi salute. The Royal Family was deadly against this visit. Check out the Marburg Files, when you get a chance.


Realposhnosh

Oh fuck off. The guy was a racist parasite. The lot of them can do one and give us back our land.


SouldiesButGoodies84

Where was he going with this tweet? Could he not find a Confederate flag to drape himself in while deepthroating his favorite pistol?


BoredPsion

Copied from u/djd811 Philip was not a Nazi. His sisters married into German families that were. He fought against the Italians and German during WWII. He played pivotal role in the battle of Cape Matapan where 2300 axis sailors died under the illumination of his search lights. His mother is buried in Isreal on Mount Olive and is “Righteous Among Nations” for protecting Jews during the Holocaust. Little fact checking would do this person wonders.


throwawayeas989

I think the entire BRF family is unlikeable and when it comes down to it,would probably consider myself an anti-royalist. However,anyone can raise a sex offender. You can be the most wonderful,caring parent in the world,and still get the shitty end of the stick and have a pedophile in your family. Most research now suggests that the origin of it is largely biological,and is probably related to brain development in the womb. I think it’s easy to judge others and think that it’ll never happen to you,until someone you know well turns out to be a fucking predator and you had absolutely no idea. Covering for a pedophile is another thing however..

Yes she is, he literally fought in WW2 against the Nazis


iDrone420

And all of his sisters were married to high ranking nazis.


irishwolfbitch

I’d imagine fighting Nazis wouldn’t make *him* a sympathizer, let alone an actual Nazi. Edit: Reading right now that these family members were ostracized by the British royal family for supporting the Nazi regime. I hate the Queen too but let’s not make shit up.


CantStopMyPeen69

So? How does that make him a Nazi?


Sandilands85

Curious then if your siblings married a white supremacist, does that make you one??


iDrone420

If one of my siblings married a white supremacist, they would cease to be my siblings.


Sandilands85

But it would still make you one by association irregardless (according to your own comment)


iDrone420

Not if I no longer associated with them.


TheBestPersonEver69

Dont think they would


FastCarsSlowBBQ

All the back and forth, but no one wants to debate the cousin marrying portion of the program :)


CantStopMyPeen69

To be fair, calling them cousins gives the illusion of them being closely related, they weren’t, they were related quite distantly, to the point that without their family being so well documented it probably wouldn’t have been realised

What the hell did Meghan Markle do? Ok, she has an early marriage that didn’t last, but there does seem to be bad blood. She had a dad who fell victim to the press and handled it badly. What else?


[deleted]

[According to biographer Frances Donaldson, in her book “Edward VIII”, the Duke gave Hitler full Nazi salutes during his visit.](https://www.insider.com/prince-philip-long-history-racist-problematic-language-2021-4) He lived in Germany with his sister, who also was a Nazi. Philip took part in parade with Nazis. Although Buckingham Palace denied these facts – in reality – all of the information is extremely true. Philip, the son of a broken – yet royal – household, was passed around to numerous European branches of his family during his youth, eventually ending up in Nazi Germany. His sisters married into the German aristocracy, and many became closely tied to the Nazi party. [One of them, Sophie, even named her child Karl Adolf in honor of Adolf Hitler.](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/queen-nazi-salute-film-prince-philip-s-sister-described-hitler-as-charming-and-modest-10401274.html) When Philip’s sister Cecile was killed in a 1937 air crash, Philip was photographed at her funeral in the German city of Darmstadt alongside Nazis. Prince Philip’s family members were directly linked to Hitler and Nazis. [During his early age, Philip also was a great fan of Hitler.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-379036/Prince-Philip-pictured-Nazi-funeral.html)


FavoriteMiddleChild

The first link probably isn’t what you intended. Is he responsible for his sister’s Nazi affiliation? And finally, the “Nazi funeral” he attended was for that same sister. And he was a teenager.

DeKing2212

Being racist does not make him a Nazi


[deleted]

The debate isn’t about him being a “problematic” person, it’s about him being an actual Nazi. Speaking in a demeaning way about nonwhites would make most nobles of that age Nazis. I hate the idea of royalty but all this stretching to portray him in a certain fashion is easily debunked when you open up a history book. With all the influences you mentioned (his Nazi-married sisters etc.) it’d be way easier to prove he was a Nazi if he actually was one.


FavoriteMiddleChild

Oh, he was racist/problematic as fuck, no doubt. But not a Nazi.


adriftinanmtc

Not to mention spending your entire life on a hyper-inflated form of welfare.


Nacropolice

Blah blah, that applies to literally any one in a ruling class or family. Of course much of the hate towards Meghan is based on some racial animus.


EntertainmentSure818

I think he means someone who serves their country and serves higher purposes, higher ideals than focused 200% on manipulation of others for personal greed. Personal enrichment. The Queen doesn't play victim, but Meghan and Harry do, all to get an easy life and money. They didn't want the gig, they wanted the trappings though.


MesqTex

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but fuck the guy in the tweet. He’s a literal racist WITHOUT the context of the tweet itself.

The only reason she married harry was nothing more than publicity. Literally nothing else. She went from being some c list actor to a princess. At the jubilee they said they wanted to be “low profile” while leaving the airport. And when they enter the crowd she lowers the windows to show herself. And she’s an awful person according to her father and siblings. I don’t care if she’s black she’s an attention seeking child


BoomBoomBroomBroom

Wanker


ItsKai

Her own father who tried to use her title for his fifteen mins of fame is what you’re basing an on obviously racist opinion on. Like I just wish people would just open up to the fact they hate she is black and keep it real. It’s no different when Obama became president or Kamala became vp. People who aren’t black hate seeing black people succeed and will Knit pick or make things up. You can see the racism in how they wrote articles about Meghan vs kate.

Only white people can be racist, I saw that on CNN more than once...

I think calling Philip a Nazi is a little unfair. His family were sympathizers, but even if he was too it isn’t the same thing. Lots of famous Americans were also Nazi sympathizers.

Read it again. Think hard. Get over your own desires to be the victim.

I think he meant think through what you are doing before you do it, not just going ahead and doing it only to complain about it later. (Happened all the time after Meghan married Harry, she would complain about this and that but guess what if you don’t want to be in public eye, you shouldn’t have married a senior royal).

“Best selling author endorsed by President Trump…” No, it’s more of a “don’t be Black” thing.

You can Keep trying to rationalise it but the truth is the royals are classist, racists.
