If it talks and acts like a nazi, I call them a nazi. I do not call anyone opposing me a nazi no matter their political opinion. For example, Trump and Musk call leftists nazis. That makes no sense. Israel calls anyone opposing their right wing extremism, apartheid, annexing and genocide a nazi. It’s like Hitler calling the allies nazis.
I’m not calling anyone a nazi, I label people who are actual nazis based on their opinion and acts.
Yeah so Israel is a democracy. You’re saying a democratic country is a Nazi country.
I think a common thing among Nazis is to try to de-legitimize democracies. Trump does it, Putin does it, and you’re doing it while claiming they’re the Nazis. What does that make you?
Also Hamas came into power by winning a plurality of the votes and refused to hold elections after that. Their goal is to at best ethnically cleanse and at worst commit genocide to remove people of a certain ethnicity from a region. They use extreme violence and a narrative about past injustices to maintain power. They keep people in a perpetual state of angry fervor to control them. That all doesn’t seem just a little fashy to you?
How do you know when you’re not the one being a Nazi accusing your enemies of being a Nazi? Is it just that you’re always not the Nazi and everyone that disagrees with you is a Nazi? How are you different from Trump, Musk, Putin, etc?
Israel is a nationalistic state. They take away the rights of any Palestinian living in their stolen lands. More then 70% of the Jewish inhabitants of Israel oppose their government but the government tries to continue conflict to maintain power under the wartime government law. That is undermining democracy.
I’m not a nazi, I’m a anachrist fighting right wing extremism. I do not try to undermine democracy, I try to uphold it.
I don’t think you understand what a nazi is. It stands for national socialist, you know, like Hitler. A socialist society for only your own ethnicity and to getting rid of anyone else. Like Israel does right now.
If it talks and acts like a nazi, I call them a nazi
For instance, if they classified people into “desirable” and “undesirable” and proposed that the undesirables should have fewer rights or be outright eliminated?
For instance. But are you going in the direction of “how about you then”? Because I do not approve of nazis, but imo everyone should have the right of their opinion an no one should be silenced or eliminated. I prefer them not to have any power, but that is my preference yet I still believe they should have as much right to be elected as I am. I just hoped people would be less dumb and recognize fake news and propaganda when voting. But yeah, people have a right to be dumb and fuck up the world and no one should be stripped of those rights.
everyone should have the right of their opinion an no one should be silenced or eliminated
You are contradicting yourself. Tolerating nazis literally means allowing a group that sports the core dictum that they are justified in silencing and eliminating whomever they deem fair game. The topic has been discussed and the result is settled since 1945. We had a whole war about it. The group of people who think they should get to kill everybody they say is inferior to them does not get to participate.
I never aid I tolerate them. I’m fighting hard against fake news, propaganda and their protests. Just because I fight them, doesn’t mean I believe they have less rights to their opinion or less rights to live. I just don’t agree with them and I want to fight them. I don’t want to be the same as them by putting them beneath me, taking away their rights. They have a right to their opinion, they have a right to protest and they have a right to get a beating whenever they protest against LGBTQ+, other ethnicities, or what so ever or when spreading Russian and other right wing propaganda. We can’t just silence, imprison and kill people we don’t agree with, that’s what nazis do.
We can show them they are wrong, we can fight them, we can show others what’s behind their mask, we can convict them of their crimes when they make them.
Freedom of speech doesn’t have an amendment saying “only if you agree with me”.
You may be surprised to hear that the situation is a bit more nuanced than that because freedom of speech is not, in fact, an unlimited freedom. Wherever different rights and freedoms overlap and endanger each other, every society must weigh them against each other and sometimes give preference to one freedom by limiting another. That means that certain ways of using free speech are not protected. One layman’s example that one keeps hearing would be shouting “fire” in a crowded theater. Certain calls for violence can be criminally prosecuted because they would endanger other people’s right to live, for example.
The reason behind these limitations to freedom of speech is the so-called “paradox of tolerance”. In essence, it says that a democratic society that tolerates even attempts to overthrow its core tenets will be upended by destructive ideologies unless active steps are taken to prevent that. While the absolutely tolerant society is basically a buffet to slaughter and usurp for authoritarian ideologies, a democratic society that wants to survive needs to be a defensive democracy that limits attacks on its core values. And there’s an excellent case to be made that the nazi ideology is in its very core not compatible with a democratic society, so much so that in multiple countries like for example germany, it is illegal to shout “heil hitler” or use one’s freedom of expression to further the nazi ideology. And they are speaking from experience.
Yeah I completely agree. But there’s a difference between silencing your opposition by banning their opinion and banning certain harmful words. I believe we shouldn’t silence them because we do not agree, we just need to fight their idiology and propaganda, and them whenever they endanger anyone else.
We shouldn’t ban anyone from speaking out their opinion, we should disapprove their opinion and argue they are wrong.
That’s a cute sentiment. I applaud your enthusiasm and confidence. However, you’re not the first one to try to engage people who’ve gone full nazi on a discourse-level. At the stage where they can be encountered in a legal environment by discussing their worldview with them, appeasement and discussion have historically not been effective means to dissuade nazis themselves, even though attempts were not lacking.
The reason for that is that, in order to logic someone out of their worldview, they must have adopted that worldview due to logic. However, being a nazi is not the result of weighing the scientific pros and cons and then deciding, that yes, the particular race you were born as is objectively speaking indeed superior to all others and thus your race is perfectly legitimised to send other races to their deaths because the nazis happen to have the right hair and eye colour and their victims don’t; no, that opinion is exactly that: an opinion that is used to justify atrocities commited by people who just really want to commit atrocities and will use any fig leaf of an excuse to actually do that with impunity. Their goal is traditionally not convincing anybody, but rather biding their time and growing their influence until they no longer need to talk to reach their goals.
Historically speaking, the gist of attempts at discussion has been running along the following lines:
“I believe nazis should have the right to murder whomever they please because we are better than everyone else.”
“I disagree, you should NOT have the right to unilaterally murder people at a whim because you’re not, in fact, better than everybody else.”
“Yes we are.”
“No, you aren’t.”
“Well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Let’s continue this discussion at a point in time where we’ve amassed enough support and power that we could -hypothetically- round up any and all dissenters and murder them wholesale, if -again, purely hypothetically- we chose to do so.”
Allowing this cancer to fester until it’s good and ready to seize power violently or at least without further resistence - as is the very goal of the ideology - just means giving them more time. If they confess to being nazis, their playbook will most likely not suddenly switch to wholesome and legal aspirations. The nazi endgame is well defined and well-known. The nazi ideology is firmly defined in terms of content, it has no leg to stand on from a scientific point of view and at this point in time, believing that it is in any way, shape or form “correct” or in need of discussing its merits, is simply inexcusable.
Allowing such well-known notorious destructive groups to plot unhindered would be just as irresponsible as throwing guns at people who are obviously not responsible enough to be trusted with them and then just sitting back to see what happens. And then, when it happens, repeatedly, being surprised, every single time. Nobody would do that, right?
You say that, but you do approve of a group that separates people into desirables and undesirables and desires to eliminate the undesirables. Not just from their society, but from the Earth entire.
So I don’t believe you when you say you’re not a Nazi.
Aren’t you actually the one saying people are Nazis?
Touche!

So I don’t believe you when you say you’re not a Nazi.
be real with me, are you just pretending to be this stupid?
Hahaha ooooh snap! You got me xD
No, you’re wrong.
I’m wrong that I don’t believe you?
I never said I approve of those groups, yet you say I did. So your conclusion is based on something I never said.
You approve a group as described, so as described, you’re the Nazi.
