The word “fascism” comes from Mussolini’s ideas and was later used to denote any political system with similar ideas. I think the use of the word “nazism” has been generalized in the same way.
I mean, sort of by proxy they might be inspiring a bunch of hate crimes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if their actions on sort of a broader geopolitical scale are inspiring a kind of antisemitic cycle of violence, but I dunno if I’d say that makes them more specifically “nazis”, in like, the 20th century hitler ideology sense.
In any case, don’t be a linguistic prescriptivist, it’s cringe.
Lol what you mean is “no, they’re not killing Jewish people on mass that way that nazis do.” Don’t worry, anyone reading your comment will sew thats what you said.
No, words mean what they mean. They dont mean whatever the hell you feel they should whenever you feel like it. Its also antisemitic as fuck to call Jewish people nazis, due to the specific nature of nazis.
We can descend into literary anarchy, if you like but I think you’ll find it quite to be quite chocolately and up side down very quickly. BTW, I’ve just decided that chocolately and up side down now means frustrating and tedious. You must accept this or youre a cringy linguistic prescriptivist. Or is it only OK when you do it?
No, words mean what they mean. They dont mean whatever the hell you feel they should whenever you feel like it.
Like he said, don’t be a linguistic prescriptivist. Until you understand what that means, you can’t discuss this further.
Its also antisemitic as fuck to call Jewish people nazis, due to the specific nature of nazis.
Oh no, no-one’s talking about Jews. Jews are a lovely people. We’re talking about Israelis and their government. The Israeli people do not own the Jewish religion. Saying that calling Israeli fascist nazis is antisemitic is beyond pathetic.
No, Israel can’t hide behind the “but but the Jews suffered so in WWII”. No, it’s not an excuse to commit a genocide.
Yes, the Israeli government are nazis. Small n.
BTW, I’ve just decided that chocolately and up side down now means frustrating and tedious.
Get millions of people to actually use that as a phrase, and it is what it will mean. That’s how language works.
“Rizz” is a correct word already. As is using “literally” for emphasis. Just because you’re still stuck in your “but I’m 13 and don’t know how to google ‘prescriptive’” ways doesn’t mean language isn’t constantly evolving and that this evolving can be whatever. And that whatever has been documented a lot of times.
I understand it just fine. You just don’t like having your bullshit called out.
Saying that calling Israeli fascist nazis is antisemitic is beyond pathetic
Calling any Jewish person, be it Israeli or otherwise, a nazi is antisemitic, per pretty much every definition of antisemitism in the English speaking world. I know, I know, you like making up your own meaning for words but the rest of us need don’t do that.
Yes language is always evolving. That doesn’t mean words mean whatever you want them to mean and it doesn’t mean that calling Jewish people nazis isn’t antisemitic.
“My use is correct, as prescriptive words exist”
Well, you can’t argue with that kind of “logic.”
Why are you so married to calling the israeli government nazis? You could just call them facsists which would be correct and not fall under most people’s understanding of antisemitism but you refuse. Why is this?
Calling any Jewish person, be it Israeli or otherwise, a nazi is antisemitic, per pretty much every definition of antisemitism in the English speaking world.
Then you don’t understand the definition in the slightest, nor have you looked at the several ones I’ve shown that conform to the exact meaning that’s been explained to you over and over and again.
First off, it’s beyond a ridiculous statement to say that “calling any jewish person a nazi is antisemitic”, because antisemitism is towards a group, whereas calling someone personally a nazi, isn’t a thing you’re directing at a group.
So you’re definition is “anything that’s even remotely hostile to anyone who’s Jewish, be it related in any way to them being Jewish or not”?
So if a Jewish person rapes someone, and you accuse them of being a rapist, you’re being antisemitic? That’s your definition of antisemitism? Literally anyone calling out your bullshit. Ironic, isn’t it?
So guess those people weren’t antisemites, but the people who wrote that article calling them neonazis are antisemites. Because that is literally what you said. ANY Jewish person in ANY context. See what kind of moronic logic you’re putting out? Where’s your intellectual rigor? Have you ever had any?
Yes language is always evolving. That doesn’t mean words mean whatever you want them to mean and it doesn’t mean that calling Jewish people nazis isn’t antisemitic.
“My use is correct, as prescriptive words exist”
You still don’t seem to understand how to use “presriptive” and “descriptive” correctly. So are you denying that “nazi” is often used as a synonym for “fascist”? Are you saying that you truly think that does not happen? If so, welcome, how’s your first day on the internet? Or are you saying common usage doesn’t define what is acceptable? Because… that would be… erroneous.
Literally ALL the dictionaries I can look up mention this use for “nazi.” Weird how you can’t link anything to support your garbage, isn’t it?
One who subscribes to or advocates (neo-)Nazism, or a similarly fascist, racist, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, ethnic supremacist, or ultranationalist ideology; a neo-Nazi.
Nazi in the extended sense of “a fanatical or domineering person” has existed at least since 1980
So yeah. Show me a dictionary which doesn’t have that meaning for it?
Why are you so married to calling the israeli government nazis?
Because it’s extremely ironic that the #neveragain people are literally #doingitrightnowthemselves and the fact that you refuse to see this hints that you’re on the side which keeps frantically denying they’re not committing the genocide they’re very much committing.
Lol at you attempting to paint me as someone denying israels genocide in palestine. Sheer desperation from you here.
Ah, so you accept the reality, which is that Israel is committing a genocide? You’ll readily accept that fact, and won’t try to dodge the question or pretend there isn’t a genocide?
Good.
I’d tell you you need to watch your projection. Youre feeling extremely ashamed, that’s why you’re talking about desperation. Because you despaired when you realised how wrong you are, from the votes and everyone explaining to you what “prescriptive” and “descriptive” mean. You didn’t understand it.
So now you’re trying to appeal to authority while not even making an argument. Desperately. You think that link seems authoritative. The EU discussing how antisemitism is defined doesn’t change that using nazi doesn’t make you antisemitic, and it doesn’t change the fact that “nazi” is synonymous with “fascist”, so calling Israeli soldiers nazis is not linguistically erroneous.
Defining “nazi” prescriptively as having one single meaning would be linguistically erroneus. Which you will never admit to.
So which part in this EU link which I did actually read through is supposed to say that descriptive rules for a language have gone out the window?
Or is it now the comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany policies that you’re saying is antisemitic, and not the colloquial use of “nazi”? Because those aren’t the same thing?
Don’t be so desperate, you can get out of all this shame simply by not replying. No more humiliation for you, it can all be over. Just lie back and take it.

Nazi = National Socialist even though they weren’t socialists. Go figure.
Yup, facsism is the umbrella term under which the different facsist groups, like the nazis, fall under which is what I said already.
I know people who think god is real. They too are mistaken.
Are the Israelis murdering Jewish people on mass? If not, they’re not nazis.
I mean, sort of by proxy they might be inspiring a bunch of hate crimes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if their actions on sort of a broader geopolitical scale are inspiring a kind of antisemitic cycle of violence, but I dunno if I’d say that makes them more specifically “nazis”, in like, the 20th century hitler ideology sense.
