The life-size sculpture near Sevnica in central Slovenia, where Melanija Knavs was born in 1970, was unveiled in 2020 during US President Donald Trump’s first term in office.
It replaced a wooden statue that had been set on fire earlier that year.

An “Internet philosopher” is a particular type of person. If you’re serious about ending fascism, then our petty little back and forth will not matter when it really comes down to it, then right?
Because, historically, dehumanization comes in handy when it comes to elimination, but not so helpful when it comes to the part that comes next. It seems like an excuse to not feel guilty for killing, and that seems like a dark path to go down.
You know, trying to explain your already bad joke isn’t making it any funnier.
Ofc it will have. Everything matters. Some things more than others.
“Oh please, won’t someone think of the Nazis?”
I don’t think you’ve actually read anything I’ve written. That too, is an exaggeration, I don’t literally mean that. I mean to say that you’ve not understood it for some reason. I’d like to point out that in my experience, the people who think calling someone an “internet philosopher” or “a fucking SJW” or “a keyboard warrior” (harder to call me a “keyboard warrior” when I’m actually part of the Finnish Defence Forces?) are usually slightly cognitively lazy and/or poorly educated people who just don’t have the attention-span nor the skills to actually engage in such discussion. So you mock it as being too fancy, meaning it’s too fancy… for you.
I can promise you not everyone share’s your view.
It wasn’t a joke?
And the only thing I want people to think about when it comes to Nazis is stopping them.
I genuinely just don’t have the energy to go around and around in the same argument for literally years. So when I see somebody say something like (and I’m paraphrasing here) “If animals can’t do evil then does that mean that dumb Nazis can’t be evil too!?”, it seems like the kind of gotcha moment that is built on a foundation of watching a lot of YouTube videos and then deciding that that’s your whole personality.
Maybe the naturalistic argument your pet peeve, but it doesn’t really change the point.
So in case you haven’t been reading what I’ve been trying to lay out, it’s this: Nazis are human beings. Not all human beings deserve your sympathy. In fact, some of them deserve your hatred. Nazis are amongst that group. If you can’t realize that, then you are missing a HUGE thing about the capacity for great evil (and great good) that human beings have.
It’s like when somebody call a serial killer a “monster”. It’s like, “No, monsters aren’t real. That’s a made up bed time story thing. That serial killer is a human being working within the capacities of a human being”.
Still doing it.
You have to try and mock me a pseudointellectual, since you lack the intellect to engage with the arguments, so you mock it, while now writing a longer comment than mine.
Seems that you’re projecting pretty strongly with that
I’m the guy who’s been inspiring those YouTubers since the 90’s, lol.
Did you forget the part where I’m in the Finnish Defence Forces?
People who decide to identify as actual Nazis in the 21st century literally lose their personhood.
“My rhetoric being fallacious garbage means nothing”
Yeah see before where I said you lack the intellect to understand let alone engage with my argument.
Monsters are very real. They just look exactly like everyone else. See before; “fallacious garbage”.
You are missing the point and supporting Nazism, even if you can’t understand the half a page argument with one link you need to check out (since you obviously haven’t actually read ‘The Banality of Evil’).
