I don’t generally start posts like this, but I feel the line above was my invitation:
Hey, dumbass. If you would settle down for one minute and think about the words that you’re looking at before you start flipping out on people, you might realize that
JOINING A NAZI GROUP IS THE ACTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL.
PARTICIPATING IN A NAZI ACTIVITIES ARE THE ACTIONS OF AN INDIVIDUAL.
SUPPORTING OR DONATING TO NAZI GROUPS IS AN ACTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL.
I’m talking about shit like: The Nazis were German, so Germans are Nazis. Israel is committing genocide, so Jews are evil. There was a trans school shooter, so trans people are dangerous.
Go take all your impotent energy and do something useful instead of blowing up on people who are on the same side as you, you stupid ignorant fuck.
The OP was asking about terms like ‘racist’ – not nazi. Yes, anyone walking in a group where there’s a swastiza flag can be appropriately called a nazi because they chose to join in a group with that flag, BUT just because a person is considers themself a ‘conservative’ does not also make them a racist just as being a ‘lefty’ does not make them antisemetic. Maybe they are, but it takes an action or at least a comment – not a general label – to make a judgement.

In case you are serious: easy there, tiger.

Wait, what’s the difference between a Nazi and a conservative? That’s a change in degree not in kind.
Well, for one: Lots of conservatives fought and died to stop Hitler.
Most Conservatives aren’t Nazis.
I am sure many US conservatives would deny this, but they are actively mourning a wanna be Nazi. Also, MAGA is literally a Nazi movement in disguise.
I would normally agree with you, but I am not so sure anymore.
