    So when men march wearing black balaclava and waving actual nazi flags, calling themselves nazis and intimidating vulnerable minorities with violence, you don’t call them Nazis? Really?

    Edit: This is neither hypothetical nor a unique occurrence

      More likely neo-Nazis than actual Nazis if not pure edge lords. I think the best way to refer to them is untermensch because the actual Nazis would have seen them as lesser which I find hilarious and should insult them thoroughly. They deserve mockery and derision.

        You are drawing pointless distinctions that only serve to make it difficult for you to communicate with others and lead you to disrupt what might have otherwise been a more useful discussion.

          No. Nazi has become a meme term to describe anyone you don’t like. I’m trying to turn people away from it’s use because it is entirely worthless now.
