>What's with these people trying to paint Nazism as some sort of liberationist force? Why do brown people and third-worldists like Hitler so much?
Always sort of (?) was. The thing with Nazism is that it's an internally contradictory thing. It's not like the Nazis said one thing and did the other, they'd say both things (contradictory things) and try to do both things at the same time, which created a strange zig-zag in their policy. So, it's both capitalistic and socialistic, and both revolutionary and reactionary. It's homoerotic and homophobic. It's anti-colonial but also imperialistic. It provides a sense of freedom or liberation but also constrains and binds people:

Or you might say it's revolutionary in its tactics while having counter-revolutionary aims. It's hostile to conservatism but it's also illiberal and rightist. German national socialism was also anti-Western in the sense of being hostile to France, Britain and the United States, and the ideologies associated with these states (that is, the Enlightenment). It's not a big leap for a neo-Nazi today to be hostile to the West and to support the clerics in Iran or Al-Qaeda or something like that. It doesn't seem like that makes sense when you think about the German Nazis, but Germany today is at the center of a federal, liberal Europe. A century ago, Germany was still a fairly new country, and hadn't really experienced an equivalent of the French or American revolutions.
>And this isn't me moralizing, it's just a blatant hypocrisy.
It's deeply hypocritical. It might be deeper than mere hypocrisy because they're lying to themselves. It's bad faith. People trying to escape something, or to avoid facing up to something, which is giving them anguish. It's a flight from the burden of having to make choices and to take responsibility for those choices. "The Jews took my kids away." It's like, no, man. Kanye is dodging his responsibility to be a father.
