I hate when people mangle meaning of words with no reason altogether.

You're speaking a language made of words that have been mangled and mutated with no rhyme or reason, with significantly less logic behind it than other languages.

For example, overuse of the word "Nazi" pretty much made it worthless.

Or does it just mean that Nazis are everywhere, and it's more important than ever to call it out?

Most Nazis were not Hermann Göring, they were surprisingly normal people who enabled atrocities to happen. That's the part people need to recognize.

Or does it just mean that Nazis are everywhere, and it’s more important than ever to call it out? Let's not fool ourselves, at this point people on the left hurl "Nazi" as a common insult. No weight behind the word whatsoever, due to overuse.

Yeah, but we are, at least should be, better than our ancestors at making it sensible. We can expand vocab for new words, we don't need to destroy the meaning behind already existing ones.
