Wow, that is a disgusting group of individuals.
Two things to which I’ve made semi-frequent reference, and that these texts (being disclosed) bring to mind:
The Stanford prison experiment (SPE), also referred to as the Zimbardo prison experiment (ZPE), was a controversial psychological experiment performed in August 1971 at Stanford University. It was designed to be a two-week simulation of a prison environment that examined the effects of situational variables on participants' reactions and behaviors.

The Third Wave was an experimental movement created by the high school history teacher Ron Jones in 1967 to explain how the German population could have accepted the actions of the Nazi regime during the rise of the Third Reich and the Second World War.

Humor is often transgressive, about saying things we aren’t supposed to say.
It’s just that the standard that these people want to transgress against is “bigotry is bad”.
Under the cover of the “well if you’re going to call us Nazis then we might as well act up like it” insane “logic”.
