Really it doesn’t matter what flavor of nazi he meant. He just meant nazi. The differences are at best academic, except to the weird subculture of reich hobbyists.

To the ears of someone who speaks the language, referring to the Sturmabteilung or the Schutzstaffel as the "Sturmschutz" is about as painful as calling the "Minute Men" of the American Revolutionary War the "Quicky Guys."

He also thanked me for pointing out his mistake.

This is STAASI shit.

It's spelled "Stasi," and is the slang phrase for "Ministerium für Staatssicherheit" or "Staatssicherheitsdienst."

Thanks for the correction. I realized my spelling error shortly after.

But I hope you still see the analogy I was trying to make.

If anything, the Stasi had nothing on the supposedly democratic states of today in terms of surveillance and intimidation.

Great, I scanned this thread looking for people who live or did live in New Zealand.

From what I’ve seen, there’s a core of people of solid stock in NZ. The toughest rugby teams of the world live in NZ.

Then again, their chief competitors live in Ireland, and Ireland doesn’t seem very conservative-friendly.
