But they're neo-nazis. Why would anyone...well, Hitler did come to power via democratic election...

I never said they didn't. I just wonder why a group that openly claims to be an extension of nazis would be popular. Sure, fascist is one thing, but when you put in the word 'nazi' it just seems kind of... I don't mean to say that I know they are up to no good or anything like that. I just wonder why anyone would want to call themself a nazi.

Because it has been long enough for people to now play with fascists instead of reviling them.
The holocaust only ended sixty-seven years ago.
That's long enough for the majority of men and women who personally saw the results of such to die off.
And their children totally are ok with it too.
Maddening.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Others know Hitler killed millions of people, and they either don't care that he did, or like the fact that he did.

So they're either delusional  , deadly apathetic  , or pure evil...

People will always need scapegoats. Why face up to the harsh reality (that whatever problem, be it losing a war or making your economy go up the shitter, is their own bloody fault) when they can blame some random group of people that they can antagonise with impunity?

Hitler Wrote:"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.." in Mein Kampf. http://www.nobeliefs.com/Hitler1.htm It wasn't so random... Sure, the jews didn't do anyhting wrong, but religious bigotry inspired his choice of scapegoat.

Neo-nazis are fine by me, so long as they can rationally argue their cause, are open-minded and don't actuate their ideology into murder. By rationally argue their case I don't mean simply argue it but, rather, put forward a comprehensive and truthful case for their beliefs.
The downfall of Greece (yet again, for any historians around) is profoundly saddening, as is the lack of support for it. Greece practically invented the modern world, despite the catholic brainfart which proceeded out of it, and to see the greatest contributor to modernity in such harsh condition is rather worrying. I genuinely heard someone criticise the EU support policy, saying 'what did Greece ever provide us with?', I'll leave you on this somber allegory of society and judge it as you will.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
