How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?

Well they ain't. A Nazi is a specific economic and cultural philosophy/movement of a certain time and place. Anti immigration conservatives, even very racist misogynists aren't usually nazis no matter how often people call that.

I think there are enough similarities for people to properly connect the two.

Yeah it devalues the horror of genocide calling a person critical of mass immigration the same fucking thing.

Trump supporters aren’t only critical of mass immigration. Go look at the second paragraph of the Nazism Wikipedia page. You’ll find those beliefs overlap quite a few times with American conservatives.

Quit being dense for no reason.

Hitler had ideas that overlap with Buddhism, PETA and myriad other groups, that is completely irrelevant.
