Nazi colloquially includes neonazi. You’re being incredibly weird about this.

You seem to be part of the people who weirdly rationalize dehumanizing humans and on top of that water down language beyond usability.

I don’t dehumanize anybody. I just correctly recognize the threat that bigotry poses to society, especially if allowed to grow and gain power. That threat is very much human and we can never allow ourselves to forget that. Evil tends to be very banal.

In this thread you seem to be, because I’m the only party criticizing it. And if you had read what I wrote that should be pretty clear to you.

Not in this thread. Maybe you generally do, but I don’t see any shred of elaboration on that here.

Like dehumanizing is a very (negative) human trait. Which I layed out and critisized in detail in my comment you opted not to read after the first line.

As in “Nazis are not humans” or “violence against Nazis is OK”? Spoiler alert: That’s dehumanization in action. And that’s what I’m criticizing.
