The caption isn't "the prevailing belief that it's okay to be a Nazi". there are influential people in politics and social media that are open about being a Nazi (or at least poorly veiled dog whistles and a general agreement with Nazi rhetoric) and being openly anti-Nazi causes harassment and being called a groomer.
"Nazis are bad" is no longer a prevailing belief. it's still the majority opinion, but now there are "discussions" about the imaginary merits of Nazism and a rapidly growing population openly identifying with the term.
That’s not true. I see everyone around me promoting a lifestyle and ethics as desirable while on the dl living the lifestyle they decay. Which leads me to the conclusion it’s often not about what a thing actually is, but whether i can get orders to play the game of “it plausibly looks like x when it’s definitely y, upon closer examination, but no one cares as long as they can plausibly say it’s x when it’s most definitely y.
