  Do people read this and fail to realize that the “calling everyone I disagree with is a Nazi” rhetoric is the exact same thing?

  Like how Elon can do a full Nazi salute multiple times but then throw out some rhetoric about how “they call everyone Nazis” and everyone just buys it?

  Yeah I can see how they’re similar.

    And his whole family line supports Nazism

      I don’t think that’s true. Half of his kids have disowned him. He has a trans child he says was “killed by wokeness” who hates his guts.

  Who are you targeting with that message? Because what’s going on with the current US admin is straight out of the nazi playbook.

  It feels like you are trying to get validation for your position.

    But if you saw where this was going and said it too early, this perspective means you’re now responsible for people not taking you seriously now!

    The Nazis were fascists that looked to create a 1000 year reich and believed the destiny was to birth the master race. Trump et al are not doing this which means they are a different kind of fascist than Nazis. That doesn’t make it better much like being shot with a .308 instead of a .44 caliber round isn’t “better” it just makes it a different kind of harm.

      I’d say that the nazi salute on live tv sealed the deal.

      If it looks like a Nazi and squeak like a Nazi, it’s a fucking Nazi.

        From my reply to another

        "Ok? How does that change my statement that they are a different kind of fascist? Keep in mind my point is entirely focused on the ideology part of the political ideology whereas you are talking about a salute. How does an arm motion change the policy goals which aren’t the same as what Nazis support? What policy goal can you derive from an arm motion to begin with?

        They are still evil they are just a different kind of evil. Not all fascists are nazis. The fact that one guy did a nazi salute twice doesn’t change project 2025 into something that Nazis would support.

  Are you accusing me of being alarmist after I provided sources for the things that are actually going on?

  See the problem is a lot of people see “Nazi” and (for some reason) think people are literally talking about a card carrying member of the NSDAP, which obviously doesn’t exists after 1945.

  Substitute “fascist authoritarian” for “Nazi” in more modern contexts and it makes more sense.
