To be fair, there's a difference in calling everyone on the right a Nazi and calling the ACTUAL NAZIS that have arisen in the right Nazis.
VirtualChessLessons
To be fair, which situations do you think OP was aiming this post at, calling actual Nazis Nazis, or calling all conservatives Nazis?
Imalwaysready
To be fair, many ACTUAL Nazis have tried to say calling them actual Nazis is not fair and is just a tactic of the left to divide & distract.

People were too free with the word Nazi so now that actual Nazis show up the boy who cried wold effect kicks in.

Who was it using the term "feminazi?"
Sirdan3k
We don't have to worry about that nonsense word losing it's meaning because barring weird alternate universe incursion Feminazis aren't real

Retarded people exist, and some of those people are liberal.

Exactly! Far worse to be falsely throwing around words like "nazi" than "libtard" Glad someone agrees. Libtard is still a dumb insult though
WonderWaage
Many people say Nazi to people who aren't. But in this current admin, with the nazi policies. There's no other words left I'm afraid.
MassiveOctopus
But because people used the word, and continue to, so often when it didn't apply, many people are now not paying attention when it does.

the message is flawed. libtards vs bible thumpers is better. but thinking that libtard and nazi are the same is a problem. learn history.

wadatahmydamie
I’m also comfortable lumping people who call them “very fine people” in with open, goose-stepping Nazis.
NegentropyX
Not everyone, on both sides, was a bad person. White Supremacists? Yes. But what about the guy who just wanted to keep a historical statue?
wadatahmydamie
So no, there were no good people marching with Nazis and other white supremacists. Just Nazis and white supremacists. We used to shoot them.
wadatahmydamie
History is for museums. Public space is for veneration. Confederate statues celebrate people who attacked America for racial reasons.
NegentropyX
And we’re forgiven at the end of the war.
wadatahmydamie
That’s great, but we shouldn’t celebrate people who attacked America on our soil. Especially considering why the statues were erected.
NegentropyX
And you do know there were one or two honorable Nazis respected by the Allies? Erwin Rommel, Stauffenberg, for instance.
wadatahmydamie
For their combat abilities. Nobody respects the Charlottesville Nazis for their ability to light a tiki torch.
NegentropyX
Let’s agree that the Charlottesville Nazis are bad to the core. I am pointing to the possibility there were other marchers who were okay
wadatahmydamie
Sure. The ones protesting the Nazis. If you march with Nazis, nobody gives a shit that you’re doing it for some other reason.
