While I agree with the message of your comment (i.e. the critique of everybody using the word Nazi for everything they don't like), I feel you make another mistake here by - probably unconsciously - reducing Hitler's misdeed to the Holocaust. This is very upsetting to huge populations of non-Jewish people who lost many members of their families during WW2. Especially to Russians - they lost 27M as opposed to 6M Jews. I don't want to compare the horror of both numbers in any way, just want to mention this because I notice more and more many people seem to reduce the evil of WW2 to the Holocaust.
- marshmallow_12 6y agoi took pains specifically not to do that. Nowhere in my comment did i limit Hitlers impact to Jews alone. You failed to read my comment properly. Any reference to the Jewish holocaust was in the context of the parent comment. Please read my comment again and don't shoehorn your preconceived notions into what i said. i was very conscious in my wording. One thing i took for granted was that the parent and his family were not victimised by the germans like other minorities. Or if he did, he doesn't care so much
