Those who claim that terms like “Nazi” or “fascist” are being watered down are usually Nazis/fascists themselves, and they're trying to cover it up by convincing everyone that Nazis/fascists don't exist.
Er, I think that might depend on who you are talking to the most.
I know a lot of pretty normal people that dont have terminally online views and I think almost all of them would agree with the statement that "nazi" and "fascist" have been watered down. Obviously nazi's and fascists will say they're watered down but to lump random people in with them is not doing you any favors.
Then I question their normalcy.
Well, that or it's now considered normal to be a fascist. I certainly hope that's not the case, although sometimes I have to wonder.
Obviously. I'm not denying that. I'm denying that that's actually happening to any significant extent.
Don't you see how this comment proves the point. I mentioned that I've heard regular people comment that they think people online overuse the term nazi and fascist and your response is "they're probably nazis or fascists"
No, it just proves that fascism is popular these days, and explains why fascist parties are on the rise around the world.
Which is really scary and sad.
I do not think it proves fascism is popular these days. The people you just assumed to be fascists are left wing voters and not fascist in any way yet you instantly assumed them to be fascist so you can dismiss their opinion.
So what you’re saying is … you know a lot of Nazis!
Making you, in fact, a Nazi!
Get him!
bro this isn't reddit
you're being repeatedly antagonistic all over beehaw
this is your warning and reminder to be nice
So Microsoft are nazis?
I think it refers to nazi dicks
No one here is saying Nazis or Fascists don't exist. You are making a false dichotomy.
People denying the existence of robots may themselves be robots.
