That is not at all a reasonable conclusion or a sufficient criteria.
I am frequently called a Nazi (despite being on, and identifying as left wing, my entire life) on X simply for having the temerity to challenge certain orthodoxies.
Denying that the term has been stretched to its breaking point, especially in light of its use by Russia in justifying the SMO in Ukraine, strains any kind of reasonable credulity.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> I am frequently called a Nazi Are you calling for the extermination of Jews? No? Then you are fine. > Denying that the term has been stretched to its breaking point This is a straw man. Nobody is denying this. It’s not even relevant—the article never calls for banning anyone anybody considers a Nazi.

- The_Colonel 3y agoHow about putting Jews into ghetto, making them second-class citizens, calling for abolishment of Israel? The lines can get pretty blurry. I don't think outright censorship is a good thing, but monetization / not putting them into suggested content (not sure what's the proper term) should be used. There will be judgment calls made, but that's IMHO OK.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> How about putting Jews into ghetto, making them second-class citizens, calling for abolishment of Israel? The lines can get pretty blurry. We can have that discussion separately. The beauty of this article is the simplicity of its argument. If you're calling for the extermination of Jews (or any protected class), you're in a category of your own.

- atdrummond 3y agoNot true. I went to a Reform Temple as a kid and two of my companies I cofounded with best friends who were Jewish. I don’t have to accept your clearly fatuous claim that I’m a Nazi because I’m not.
