    If you consider how much the meaning of “Nazi” now is watered down to “Person who i don’t” like… well, then things become a bit more complicated.

      Get Donald Shitlers cock out of your mouth for 2 seconds so your last remaining brain cells can at least achieve some sort of coherent thought.

        I must interject. He didn’t condone Donald Trump in his comment. Sure “using Nazi in an inflationary way” may be a right wing dog whistle. But technically Charlie Kirk wasn’t a nazi due to the lacking antisemitic element. Fascist would be a more accurate term.

        Why don’t just ask Donaldist his opinion on Trump instead of making assumptions?

      Charlie Kirk was an ignorant, charismatic loser with a loud mouth, shitty attitude, and nazi-proximate beliefs. He was dragging American society away from it should be, a land of freedom for everyone, not just him and his dickhead straight white ‘Christian’ male friends.

      Edit: I mean, how plainly ignorant do you need to be, in the most straightforward way, to reject that other people with different kinds of bodies or beliefs deserve the same things you do?

      You guys could be building a utopia over there, instead you’re tearing yourselves apart because the stupid, hateful half of the population want to regress and will allow and even enjoy the hurt it causes other people. It’s just insane.

      It’s so infuriating to watch.

      The American Right is a fascist party, inspired by the Nazis, it’s just simpler to call them nazis. It’s not about not liking them, they follow a platform nearly identical to that of the 1930s German Nazis. Many prominent members of their party have openly praised Nazis and other fascists and white supremacists. It is beyond the time to doubt this. Semantics are useless now, they have declared war against their enemies.

        Right wing populism is not fascist. They are not the same. They may share similarities in some instances, but they are not the same.

          I’m not saying they are the same, just that in the US a large portion of the right is fascist. One only needs to look at speechs by Republicans like Stephen Miller to hear their fascist rhetoric, they hardly try to obscure it in the mainstream anymore.

            But its not fascism. Its fascism-like, but its not actually fascism. The obvious dangers of calling out cunts like Miller for being fascist, is that he can easily hand wave it away which thus creates a history from him to say “See, they just call everyone a fascist.” even if/when he does go full mask off.

            If you want to call Stephen Miller anything, call him what he is. An Ethno-nationalist authoritarian populist with illiberal nativist and white-identity tendencies. It might not roll off the tongue, or get be an easily clickable buzzword for a karma farming reddit post. But its accurate as fuck, and he cant hand wave it away.

              Can you tell me what makes this distinct from fascism? And it doesn’t matter what exactly you would call his brand of ethno-nationalism anyway, his views are racist and genocidal, in the same vein of Nazism and other far-right ideologies, and should be viewed as such.
