it’s really just a terrible idea to exaggerate on this particular terrain! if people are posting swastikas, pro-Hitler shit, or avowing national socialism, then definitely call them nazis! it’s always a gift to opponents on the far-right who love to claim “you just call anyone you don’t like a fascist” when you exaggerate on this topic. also IMO it can be useful to think of certain terms with increasing specificity like: #fascists > #whitenationalists > #nazis all very very worth opposing! but don’t exaggerate / lie.

@jerry @wravoc yeah, I mean “neo-Nazis” are a very real thing & their current movement has produced a pretty sizeable bodycount in recent years. definitely worth opposing, & I couldn’t agree more that such opposition is undermined when ppl exaggerate / use specific political descriptors as basic epithets.
fwiw “freedom of speech” isn’t undermined when non-state actors decline to play host to the proselytization efforts of genocidal racists.
