Not sure why most commenters are shitting on you. It is an interesting possibility. The apple not falling far from the tree is an expression for a reason.
Because they’re making huge unfounded leaps of logic and then doing things like accusing people of defending Nazis for questioning the logic
I read almost every reply. The general tone of responses are “you can’t prove that so be quiet! Also I’m smarter than you”
That seems like a very uncharitable way to describe people pointing out that OP hasn’t actually presented any evidence and has seemingly misread their own source. I think there needs to be something stronger than “was a Russian emigrant who was unaccounted for after the Axis invaded his home” to call someone a member of the Nazi party
You left out the fact that the son has been actively implementing the Nazi agenda in the US. I think that makes it a bit more plausible.
I left it out because I don’t think that we should use the activities of someone’s child to accuse them of doing a separate wrong thing long before the the child was even born. Every single Nazi ever was the child of someone
Buddy, that is not how ideology works. If a guy is doing nazi things, speculating is fair game. If there are circumstantial things, we’ll talk about it.
Go write angry letters to the National Enquirer if you don’t like this stuff, internet commenters aren’t exactly the biggest fish to fry.
If a guy is doing nazi things
The entire problem here is that there is literally no evidence anywhere of the guy in question doing any Nazi things at all
I’m not saying people can’t speculate. I’m saying I think the conclusions they reached are wrong. That’s equally fine to do on the internet
So Hans Anatol von Spakovsky was an immigrant anchor baby?
More of a paperclip baby
What’s funny about this is you’re going a long way to imply the father was a fascist/Nazi, when growing up in Alabama in the 50’s is all that’s needed to turn a child into a racist, fascist piece of shit.
Heritage foundation isn’t a Nazi respawn. It’s the American born and bred fascists who have been in America all along. Either way it doesn’t matter. They’re fascists through and through, no different to the nazi’s.

Alabama was the birthplace of the modern Civil Rights Movement, from Montgomery to Birmingham to Selma. A little unfair to assert it was a state that just makes people racist. The neo-confederates of the post-Depression Era had to work pretty hard to keep cramming Jim Crow down people’s throats decade after decade.
That said, Huntsville Alabama circa 1950 was most notable for Redstone Arsenal, home to the Marshall Space Flight Center. The center was founded through Operation Paperclip, a project to export German rocket scientists to the United States and pump them for their expertise in the field.
A guy with a Nazi mother and White-Russian father who emigrated to a city built around the famous rocketry lab was almost certainly influenced by the German brand of fascist ideology.
That said, the Germans got their strain of fascism from Fordist antisemitism pumped into the country after WW1. So if you’re going to pick a state to blame for The Heritage Foundation’s brand of white nationalist hate, you’d be better off pointing the finger at Michigan.

You linked a source saying his mother was German, not that she was a Nazi. His father also did not move straight to Huntsville in 1951 according to this post, he retired there over a decade later after having worked in
FloridaJacksonville (thanks to derfunkatron for the correction).You linked a source saying his mother was German, not that she was a Nazi.
I linked a source saying she was a German refugee from 1945 who emigrated to a township staffed full of Nazi emigres. Also, his father was White Russia - 100% a fascist.
Ok… not sure why you’re trying to defend a neo Nazi or his old school Nazi dad, but sure.
I don’t think they were defending him; I think they were saying you don’t need German credentials to be a proper, full-blooded Nazi. Just being American is enough.
Uhm… ok just seems like it’s kind of deflecting from the point that this dude’s dad probably got off the hook for commiting crimes against humanity and was allowed to start over fresh without ever facing justice for the atrocities he directly committed.
I know as an American in many ways, I arguably hold some responsibility for benefiting from an unjust system. Still seems like a distraction in a post trying to call attention to the fact that a man literally trying to overthrow the American government was probably raised by a war criminal, and nobody has ever noticed this or brought it to the public’s attention.
So like the openly racist son of a Nazi war criminal who escaped justice is equivalent to any other American such as myself? Interesting, I would like to imagine I’m not quite as bad for being part of an exploited working class in an unjust system this guy is actively controlling, but I guess if you see it that way, not much I could say to change your mind.
You don’t have to be German to be a Nazi, there are American Nazis.
Are you calling me a Nazi?!?
Jesus you people…
