Cool. I’m tired of hearing people talk about how my basic human rights should be stripped from me, and I should possibly be institutionalized against my will or killed. Yours sounds bad too, though.
Everytime I see this I feel like it comes from a highschool dropout who thinks they have it worse or were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Fuck off. I’m not sorry if the people pointing out the writing on the wall annoys you.
Pro tip, find and listen to the plethora of historians and other experts on the classification and comparison.
Spoilers, MAGA keep following both the nazi and classic Russian tactics for manipulation.
A lot.
Like, constantly. There are also enablers preventing opposition from gaining any ground.
Are they literal clones of Nazis? No, that’s impossible in a changing environment. That being said, they sure like to follow the nazi playbook in a way that sets alarms off in a way that would be pretty stupid to not have issues with.
At this point it’s “you can’t call them fascist/nazi until we are post-gas chamber,” and even then you will get people saying it’s not the same, for some stupidly specific yet mostly irrelevant differences.
So when the historians all cry “this is some nazi shit,” it might be disingenuous to compare it to more frivolous accusations.
Also there are a lot more valid historical comparisons, because the Nazis aren’t the only ones to do this shit, but they are a good example of the general shape.
It’s not convenient to admit because they’ve been used as boogiemen for so long, but the Bolsheviks and Nazis had a lot in common. If we can’t recognize the features that made these regimes so harmful then we won’t recognize them in our own society either, even as they grow stronger every day.
Nazi this, nazi that. Everyone’s nazi these days. I’m tired of it

Fuck the republican party and fuck the cartoonishly undemocratic system of the USA, but the former is not fascist by definition!
then help us get rid of the fascists
I am also tired of all these Nazis

OP doesn’t necessarily supports the trampers, he is just pointing out that republicans despite being cartoonishly evil are definitionally not nazis
Sure, they’re not part of the German National Socialist party, but their policies sure rhyme with them.

Authnratorism is not nazism? They can be cartoonishly evil without being nazis, which they are not by definition
So nazi and commie at the same time? Dude, you’re living in an echo chamber

Calling things cartoonishly evil doesn’t have the same gravitas, despite being more definitionally accurate
