@bladecoder@androiddev.social Most Nazis are dead, or died during or after world war 2. What we have today are assholes. Calling them nazis gives them too much credit, Throwing around that word casually diminishes the horrors the real nazis inflicted during World War II.
@bladecoder@androiddev.social I think it's a disservice to those who fought and died in world war 2, and dilutes an important part of history with something unrelated that looks similar in some peoples eyes but is clearly not. First off Nazi's were German, they mostly once existed and participated in the holocaust. Most people alive today don't fit any of this criteria.
@bladecoder@androiddev.social I disagree. Most of the Nazi's died during world war 2, a few remain and are very old. This is something else entirely and not even at the same level. Calling these people a Nazi, people who might already glorify Nazis, is flattering and only empowers them while also diluting the horrors of world war 2.It's just not the same, not even close.
@bladecoder@androiddev.social I think the people you want to hear this have Nazi fatigue, due to other people throwing that word around so casually. They no longer know the difference between who is a "Nazi" in your definition and some asshole someone didn't like. But to be fair there isn't much we can do about it, people in power want us to fight and want harmful words to have no meaning, and thats exactly what's happening.
