I’m making this post, because I’m contemplating reporting a guy with username like that on lichess.

    Just block them and move on mate.
    Usernames are shouldn’t be taken seriously anyway.

    There is this thing called trolling and users with such names might be into that sort of activity.

    You can report them anyway of course, but for me it’s really about what people do and say, not what they name themselves.

    If you like you can send the user in question a pm along the lines of “Hi, just wanted to let you know that your username may invoke connections to nationalsim”. Or just report them and let the admins handle it.

    No, he’s mentally ill and somewhat stupid/unserious and has been done dirty by Ashkenazi Jews by his own admission (doctors and lawyers) so he has a bit of a hate boner against them. Any member of the American and Israeli army is way more morally reprehensible and more of “a Nazi” (unless you only consider the lives of Western and Eastern Europeans important, ofc) than a cuckoo artist known for saying wild shit even before his menty b.

    No, the NSDAP was disolved in 1945. Kanye West was only born in 1977, so he couldn’t have been a member.

        I rarely agree with Remon but I also think the term “Nazi” is overused and in danger of becoming meaningless.

          It’s not overused to describe someone that has praised Hitler on several occasions. I think downplaying it when people have shown their true colors is far more dangerous. If you want to be pedantic, I guess we can call him a Nazi sympathizer instead.

            I thought he was “just” psychotic? How serious can you take the political statements of someone like him, is he accountable?

              He chooses not to take his prescribed medication to help with his symptoms, and then makes it everyone else’s problem. Should Kim K have not divorced him because they’re just his mental health problems? At a certain point, you do have to hold people accountable and they cannot use mental health as an excuse for acting like a piece of shit. And I’d argue that as a celebrity with a massive following, he has a much larger responsibility to keep his shit in check than the average person. Trump is psychotic and delusional too, does that mean no one should take his political statements seriously? No excuses for Nazis or Nazi sympathizers.
