In fairness, I think they're less Neo-Nazism as such and more just silly cargo cult Nazism that doesn't understand anything.

That is probably true
but you know, rising housing prices, rising crime, people in those places are always looking to expand their "living space"

Most probably but in those dark savage days of WWII many people were forced to make some stark choices, the potential consequences of each decision being hard for any of us here and especially 'cargo cult' types to truly understand not having lived it.

Let us hope we are never tested in such a way in the future.
