This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you ask someone if they are Nazis, and their answer is to get confused and ask about the premise of the question, there is about a 90% chance they are Nazis. Non-Nazis will say, "What? No, definitely not."

If you ask someone who isn't a Nazi if they're a Nazi out of nowhere then confusion seems pretty valid. If there's a premise to it that they understand (by being Nazis or acting like ones) you'd get less genuine confusion.

E: I wasn't talking about the specific case in OP but in general

Meh depends on the setting. My partner and I are organizing smaller concerts from time to time. If we are about to book an unknown band sooner or later we have to ask the Nazi question.

The setting here feels similar.

what do you look for in their responses?

surely they dont go „oh yeah we are nazis, you got us“

It's not about "getting someone". The concerts are in clubs that have a zero tolerance. If there's a Nazi band on the stage shit will hit the fan. This may range from other bands refusing to play in the same stage to people attacking each other.

You get usually two kind of responses: People are pretty clear in their response: "Of course not" or "Fuck Nazis" are the usual replies here.

Then there are others who get offended or try to discuss what Nazi means. That's a "yes" in disguise and enough to not book them.
