Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it’s not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

So conservatives version of this is their deweaponization of the word nazi? Fuck this timeline.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” - Joseph Goebbels
The word Nazi was weaponised then overused against people who where not in fact Nazis. And now it no longer means anything. Congratulations you played yourself.
So that video the other day of that woman blaming the Jews for being holocausted weren’t nazis? And to ad this is a view I’ve witnessed firsthand from only conservatives.
That woman defiantly was a Nazi. But calling people who don’t believe what she does the same thing makes calling her a Nazi effectively meaningless.
Classic boy who cried wolf scenario. And now the real wolfs get away with saying fucked shit.
That would be because its conservatives who it is weaponised against. Who would expect that.
During the holocaust there were millions of Germans who were completely indifferent to the killing of the Jews. They were likely unconsciously ignoring the horrible shit that was happening and didn’t want to face reality because if they did acknowledge it they would be implicated or be shunned by their in group. Notice how their main concern was selfish in nature. This is how I see the landscape of modern day conservatism. There is little to no pushback from other conservatives against the horrible shit people are saying and doing.
So you can argue all you want whether or not the wilfully ignorant are nazis or not I don’t really care. And I am not surprised it’s meaningless to those who are indifferent. They have already chosen to ignore the horrible shit some conservatives are saying, why would they care what anyone else says.
I would say the mass outcry from conservatives at trump not releasing the Epstein files is the exact push back u refer to.
And this is why the left keep losing. The right are not ignorant of the shit the more extreme than themselves are doing they let it be because for the moment their goals are aligned. The left is too busy fighting with others on the left over what flavour of left they are and to what extent that they are. They end up completely sabotaging themselves fighting to be right instead of to win.
Then of cause u need to remember the only law that exists is violence and he who wields it wins. The conservatives have won the young men and the left are apathetic to their struggle. The left does not realise the threat they have created.
You have just proved my point. Conservatives will rather “win” than call each subgroup out on their disgusting behaviour. This isn’t a motley crew, it’s “decent” people mixed in with hateful dangerously ignorant people and there is an indifference that will bring in a new era that will be shameful if humans get beyond it.
Well u better get used to losing cos being right doesn’t mean jack shit in the face of overwhelming violence.
Nazi said what?
If their is anyone I would trust as an authority on how to convince people to be Nazis it would be gerbils.
Doing exactly as he suggests is a very poor idea.
