    People tend to inflationary use the term Nazi for everyone they politicaly don’t agree with.

    We had similar stuff going on a few centuries back, witch hunts to be exact. People used the term Witch to get rid of people they just didn’t like. Even if they were innocent.

      Ok smart guy, so if I secretly want to murder my political opponents but also get away with it and have everyone think I’m a good person, what would you recommend I do? Since you’re such an expert.

        Nazis should never be considered political opponents, they should be considered enemy combatants, we quite literally fought a World fucking War over this. . .

          Wait a minute, does that mean socialists are enemy combatants because of the cold war? I don’t think I like where this is headed.

            Lmao no it doesnt, what are you dumb or something. The cold war wasnt a war it was an arms race. Your lack of historical context is asinine.
