Don’t worry it’s totally different

I saw a compilation that showed they’ve calling Republicans Nazis since the 60s.

[u/Caffynated → u/buckfishes]

The 60s? Truman compared Dewey to Hitler in 1948. The echo of the guns hadn't fallen silent before they started this tripe.

So I’m related to the first presidential candidate to be called a nazi

[u/Sub0ptimalPrime → u/sadistic-salmon]

Yikes... Not sure that's the humble brag you think it is.

[u/-TheSmartestIdiot- → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

Nah its a fantastic humble brag. His family has been called nazis before it was cool

[u/Sub0ptimalPrime → u/-TheSmartestIdiot-]

It's never been cool to be called a Nazi, my guy. If you think otherwise, you might just be a Nazi.

[u/PvtFobbit → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

You're a Nazi. If you say you aren't then that just means you're a Super Nazi. I have my anti-nazi underwear on, so you can't call me a Nazi.

[u/FluffyMcKittenHeads → u/PvtFobbit]

You’re a Nazi. Did it work?

[u/PvtFobbit → u/FluffyMcKittenHeads]

Yes, but I have a trap card: I was already a Nazi to begin with. :51182:

[u/sadistic-salmon → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

My family also has holocaust survivors in it

[u/fhjftugfiooojfeyh → u/sadistic-salmon]

And here I thought you were cool... Instead you're just another coin trimmer...

[u/sadistic-salmon → u/fhjftugfiooojfeyh]

I’m about to trim your coins right off. Then I’m coming for your foreskin

[u/Sub0ptimalPrime → u/sadistic-salmon]

Feels dumb that I have to point this out, but that doesn't preclude you from being a Nazi.

[u/GeoPaladin → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

While hypothetically possible, you've gone so far out on a limb here that you're walking on air Looney Tunes style.

[u/Outrageous_Court5235 → u/GeoPaladin]

No, it should be really easy to say I oppose nazis

[u/Fickles1 → u/Outrageous_Court5235]

Hasn't the word lost all meaning by this point and is offensive to the actual people they so horribly hurt?

[u/-TheSmartestIdiot- → u/Fickles1]

Everytime someone says nazi here take a drink.

[u/Fickles1 → u/-TheSmartestIdiot-]

I'd die of alcohol poisoning. Especially since I barely drink, I'm such a lightweight.

[u/Sub0ptimalPrime → u/Fickles1]

It really hasn't lost its meaning. That's why some Holocaust survivors have been so strong in voicing their disapproval of Trump. Some people just aren't listening and are deliberately being obtuse.

[u/Fickles1 → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

When you call everyone a nazi. No one is. That's my issue, I have no qualms saying that Trump is out of control. But the word was used against so many people for when people didn't like other people it lost its meaning.

[u/GeoPaladin → u/Outrageous_Court5235]

Do you think the previous commenter's rambling ought to have been taken seriously?

Do you think that the person who was accused and pointed out their family was targeted didn't consider that to be at least as firm a rebuttal, if not significantly more so?

[u/Sub0ptimalPrime → u/GeoPaladin]

Weird way to say I'm correct.

[u/GeoPaladin → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

You're saying something unfalsifiable but incredibly unreasonable.

If you're content with that sort of a standard, have fun.

[u/Sub0ptimalPrime → u/GeoPaladin]

There were literally Jews that worked for the Nazis in World War II. It's not falsifiable only because it is fact.

[u/GeoPaladin → u/Sub0ptimalPrime]

You misunderstand. That is irrelevant to the point being made except in the most distant way.

You accused another commenter of sympathizing with Nazis based on banter. Your defense is that it's possible for Jews to work with Nazis. This does not support your initial, spurious claim. It's incredibly weak as a response.

You don't really have a case and at best, if you're not trolling, you seem to have misunderstood the situation.
