Was Hitler a Socialist?

You don't necessarily have to treat certain groups poorly to be deemed racist, simply having a view that isn't politically correct could make you racist. Hence, I don't really care if Hitler had negative thoughts about the Jews, its what he used his power to accomplish.

It probably has gotten a little out of control in the modern age. But there are reasons for that.

With that in mind... Whenever someone pushes the "Politically Correct" angle... I can't help but cringe.
"Politically Correct" was generally just a term invented by the conservative camp. - In short... They are acting all offended because they are having their ability to offend others shut down.
In short... People like that are generally being hypocritical.

We hear talk of the extreme right, but I see nothing extreme being pushing by mainstream right wingers at the moment. Outside of being more nationalistic (as in focusing on our interests and prosperity) and getting a grip on immigration. These used to be center ideas pushed by left as well.

As a centrist. I disagree. Both sides continue to push extreme views. - Which is standard operating procedure for both camps.

That's more like a unique situation to a certain region of the world. It seems when you move people from that region to more civilized western countries, there is some compatibility issues as well.

Well. Religious conservatives are right-wing by nature, which makes sense as these are the same individuals who cling to every word of their religious doctrine, doesn't matter if you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim... Same story.
There are variations depending on geographical region of course.

I can't help but think it has something to do with Islam, but I'd have to a be a bigot to suggest that idea.

Go ahead and say it, provided it is additive to the discussion.

Well arguing racism has become a political move and good way of silencing people. Many right leaning people are just quiet now because they don't wanna get pegged as racist. Fortunately, dems have played that card so much that's arguably losing strength. Dems also overplayed the "believe women" card when attacking Kavanaugh.

We could totally argue PC and being offended culture was a tool of conservative camps. The first thing that comes to mind is censorship in media around the 80s and 90s, much of that was spearheaded by conservatives of the time. Fast forward to now though, liberals are upset and offended by everything. Trying to censor and silence people is now what the left is all about. We see this happening on social media and dems are upset that Fox News even exist.

I don't see extreme views being pushed by the right. Meanwhile, the left is really leaning hard into socialism, seem to prefer disorder, dems don't seem to mind their mob supporters, etc. I'd argue the behavior of left is actually helping the right because its the left that's extreme.

Religions aren't equal and they don't create the same results. With that said, its no wonder why Islamic countries are less free than the west.
