    I love how vigilante justice has slipped in through the back door again.

    “Oh but you don’t think we’re should hit nazis?”

    No. I don’t think you should decide who is a nazi,.

        How do you know they’re not just right-angle enthusiasts?

        then you only get the tip of the iceberg.

        The only thing you accomplish with this wish is the formation of groups who come after people who get called nazi, even if they are innocent.

        This already happened a few centuries ago. Back then people used the term Witch to get rid of people they just didn’t like.

      This reeks of Nazi apologia. There are plenty of hateful groups out here today using the same exact tactics as the Nazis did while avoiding the name because of the stigma around it and you think we’re the issue for calling them by what they are. Ridiculous.

        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. . .

                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.
