Wait... Magneto, A Holocaust Survivor, Is Now a Nazi in the Marvel Comics? What?!

What in the hell is going on over at Marvel Comics?! They've had some pretty stinky brain farts lately. First, they make Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, an agent of Hydra in Secret Empire. I absolutely hated that change. As you know Hydra has long been associated with the Nazis so the fact that Captain America is now working with Nazis bugs the shit out of me. It gets worse, though.

Marvel has revealed that Magneto is also a part of Hydra and working with the Nazis. It was revealed in a series of "Villains of Hydra" variant cover art by Dan Mora. They include characters such as Baron Zemo, Madame Hydra, Crossbones, and Sin, and then there's Magneto.

Yeah, I understand that Magneto is a villain, BUT he's a freakin' Jewish Holocaust survivor who hates Nazis and anyone affiliated with them. Magneto's origin story focuses on his hellish survival of the Holocaust and the Nazis. Because of that, he has always harbored a deep loathing for the Nazis and thus Hydra, because the organization was founded by Baron Von Strucker and supported by Nazis like the Red Skull, who he actually locked away in a fallout shelter at one point to get revenge for what he did during WWII. 

None of this makes any sense. It goes against everything Magneto stands for. I'm not sure why Marvel Comics is rolling forward with this, but I'm not cool it. What do you all think about Magneto joining the side of the Nazis?
