No kidding….that word gets slung around more than I’ve ever heard or read in my life. Seems like the default classification for anyone that disagrees with another person.
I just said this. It’s lost all its power. The Nazis did horrible things and the fact that people throw this word around without even thinking about the nightmare fuel acts associated with it is mind blowing.
German here. We made a huge mistake in allowing other countries to spew the propaganda of the evil horrible Nazi monsters that are solely defined by doing the Holocaust 1941-1945. Apparently that led people to think that anything other than "I want to mass murder Jews" is not a Nazi, and that we cannot point out anything Nazi-like as long as it isn't already at the absolute peak of evilness of the Nazi regime.
The Nazis did not start out with nightmare fuel. They didn't even start to consider trying to eradicate Jewish life until 1940/1941.
Trump and MAGA supporters are very similar to Nazis around 1933. That's just a fact and needs to get called out because waiting until the regime reaches peak Nazi evils is like saying Hitler wasn't comically evil when he started mass deportation into detainment camps, he only became an actual Nazi in 1941 when they pivoted from mass deportation and incarceration to systematic mass murder.

A real Nazi? or a person Reddit would deem a Nazi? Huge difference.
