> they’re a neo-nazi Holocaust denier.

I'll take Holocaust denier but don't you have to be white to be a neo-Nazi?

> Why do neo-nazis exist?

I've heard this term has been used to describe anti-immigrant people... and then there is Azov and groups like that. If I were to use your language, I'm a non-white immigrant to a majority white country. Why would I be a neo-Nazi?

> Obviously racists are not going to agree with Juneteenth.

I believe that anyone who thinks race exists is a racist... so this means the entire American system and from what I see. There is no such thing as race, biologically or genetically speaking... and even if it did, it would have no relation to the race used by American racists who seem to use skin colors (black, white, brown, yellow etc.) to determine race... and from the outside, it seems to it is used in the US for keeping tension between people who look different because of their genetic heritage so that they can be kept afraid and loyal to political parties.

IMO if you’re a Holocaust denier who idolizes Hitler then yeah, you’re a neo-Nazi.

The Holocaust happened. My grandfather was an Auschwitz survivor, the only survivor of his family - the Nazis murdered his parents, brothers and sisters. He saw unspeakable cruelty in Auschwitz, watched the Nazis casually and systematically starve, abuse and mass murder countless Jews. When the Red Army liberated them, he and the other survivors were so emaciated that the Soviet soldiers broke down crying just seeing them. You saying essentially “there was no Holocaust, the dirty Jews were dying of typhus and the SS tried to save them” is an absolutely insane, racist conspiracy theory flying in the face of all evidence. Things aren’t true just because your twisted, anti-Semitic mind believes them to be.

> the Nazis murdered his parents, brothers and sisters

And a magic unicorn told me that they died because of typhus used as a biological weapon by the Union forces while Germany tried their best to save them.

So basically Germany lost WW2 because they were devoting too many resources to saving sick Jews & Romany, trying their best as they were. I doubt that you believe such nonsense, but if you do it's a testament to the power of self-deceit.

No, they lost the war because a bigger independent Europe would be difficult to exploit by the US and the Soviet Union so they were attacked with everything to prevent that... and that included a biological weapon i.e. typhus. The Germans did what they thought they should to contain the disease... and as the economy collapsed, the quarantine centers did not receive adequate supplies.
