Apparently, whoever society calls a Nazi. Something of a self fulfilling prophecy, that.

- daveguy 7mo agoNah. Usually the racist fascist bullshit happens first and the Nazi label is then applied appropriately.
- mpalmer 7mo agoI see the problem. You're supposed to read history in the other direction.
- Ancapistani 7mo agoI get what you’re saying, but this is important enough that it doesn’t feel like nitpicking: You’re not going to learn anything from history if you only read it in one direction.
- GuinansEyebrows 7mo agoi have yet to see a good-faith use of this type of argument ("we're just calling anybody a nazi these days!"). to what end is this made, beyond concern trolling/sealioning/misdirectional use of pedantic and toothless "terminology" appeals? it's especially concerning to see this argument used on a historical article contemporary with the NSDAP's control of Germany (and neighbors). yes, this refers to the "actual" nazis.
- eudamoniac 7mo agoThe end is simply to inform that crying wolf is not in anyone's interest but real Nazis'.
- GuinansEyebrows 7mo agoyeah this is exactly what i'm talking about. "real" nazis? they're all dead. people who walk, talk and act like real nazis? they're running very important parts of the US government right now.
- eudamoniac 7mo agoAll I can say is that you must be extremely sheltered to truly believe that. Real (neo)Nazis are alive and they want very actively to gun down nonwhites like myself in the street. Politicians who you don't agree with about the magnitude of immigration quotas are not the same thing, regardless of how often you pretend they are.
- GuinansEyebrows 7mo agoi don't think you and i actually disagree about any of what you're saying in this reply :)
