    They wave nazi flags, they goosestep like Nazis, they believe in fascism like nazis.

    Of course there are still people who believe in Nazi ideology, but if they believe this: “American Nazies want more slaves. Minorities need to have more babies… as long as they stay poor and uneducated.” then they very likely aren’t that

    Not sure why you’re defending the honor of Nazis (or maybe you’re defending non-nazi white supremacists

    Saying a term is inaccurate isn’t defending them, you know that, and to suggest it is disingenuous.

    Eg. I don’t like pedophiles or serial killers, but calling a one the other is simply inaccurate.

      This is more like calling a pedophile an ephebophile (a word pedophiles made up to try and get people to stop calling them pedophiles). Birds of a feather flock together.

      You are pointlessly splitting hairs simply to be the smartest guy in the room.

        No it’s not, it’s saying that Nazi doesn’t just mean “bad”. There are a lot of ideologies I disagree with, that aren’t Nazis

          And you pointing that out is pointless because NatakuNox wasn’t saying that. They were pointing out that Nazism has evolved and changed over the last century or so and there are now multiple flavors of Nazi in the world. Some branches of Nazism look different than others. Some branches don’t get along with the others. They still call themselves Nazis.

          There are a lot of ideologies I disagree with, that aren’t Nazis

          But there’s some that are, right?
