    A person who was actually educated on the topic would call them fascists, not Nazis. Unless you think they’re literally the National Socialist German Workers’ Party of the 1930s then they’re not Nazis.

    Calling fascists Nazis is a meme spread by the ignorant who’s only education is social media. Don’t confuse upvotes with being correct, the Internet is full of ignorant people and literal children.

      OR as someone with this exact education you are talking about, we are calling them Nazis because hey are closest to Neo-Nazis in their ideology and we call Neo-nazis “Nazis”.

      Given you claimed education why are you not seeing this?

      calling them nazi’s is not ignorance of what a nazi was.

      it’s invoking direct comparison between someone and the explicit actions of the nazis among other fascist.

      it’s sorta like claiming none can be called a dickhead because no one has a dick for a head

      to argue agisnst the capability of comparison is to defend one of the two parties, so which nazi are you defending here?

        More ignorant nonsense. This is the kind of reasoning that you get from only consuming social media.

        The world isn’t divided into “everyone who agrees with me 100% on everything” and Nazis.

          Ah yes, everyone who defends Palestine are supporters of Hamas no?

          Too bad the other side won’t give you the same deference you give the Nazi, oops I meant the Neo Nazis, or no wait the Fascists.

          This is all about optics and if calling them Nazi works to any degree, I could care less about semantics.

          Consider conservatives care exactly zero percent about semantics, it seems like your personal crusade to correct every reference from Nazi to Fascist is foolhardy to say the least.
