    “You’re a Nazi!”

    TRANSLATION: “I’m impaired, and have difficulty articulating my position. I want to murder you.”

      Running defense for nazis… you sure about that? You know what kind of people do that, right?

      If people, including academics and professionals, are constantly and aptly comparing your political policies and rhetoric to Nazis: you may want to do some introspection.

      But it isn’t really much of a comparison or analogy any more. It’s simply a statement of fact. Much of the American right-wing are neo-Nazis, or at least like to LARP as genocidal Christian nationalists as a grift.

      I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but your fucking country has concentration camps and is enabling genocide while ramping up its own.

      In fact, the most credible defense that they aren’t Nazis is that they’re not really into it and just using the affect as a grift while capital rapes the country to death. Frankly, I don’t find the distinction carries much utility.

        Sure, but most of the people who you think are nazis aren’t nazis.

          Source, please. You are telling us to ignore our eyes and ears. We can see the nazis. They are here among us.

          Don’t get all semantic now. It doesn’t need to originate in 1930’s Germany to be a real nazi. A sparkling nazi gets treated like a nazi.

          They may not be throwing around hitler salutes, but are still incredibly racist and would love for entire groups to just be killed.

          So why shouldn’t we treat them exactly like they treat others?

            I don’t know, probably because they think they’re doing that too.

      “I make edgelord comments on Lemmy!”

      Translation:

      “I didn’t say anything transphobic. In this comment, that is. But I’m a trolling dipshit nonetheless. My transphobia will surface again later though.”

      Killing a nazi isn’t “murder”. One of the elements of the crime of “murder” in every state is that the victim must be human.
