I was a lot more cool will "beat down nazis" when I thought everyone knew "nazi" meant "fans of Adolf Hitler, the Third Reich, and their racist political philosophy and policy programs", but I feel like I see way too many people using them term as a generic insult or a label for "anyone to the right of Stalin".
And I'm frustrated by that because I'm in the USA and the government is out of control. Oh and baseball bats won't solve it.
If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...
Yeah the first point was about the inability to sort and identify.
Language is not prescriptivist, it evolves and changes and so do the definitions and contexts of words based on how they are used. Your whole point is outdated and detached from the concept of how language works and is applied.
Nazi cunts can fuck off.
So... You mean they have to be German too? I mean they are dressed up, armed and parading US cities already!
Since you seem to think I'm being overly pedantic in my description of nazis, I think you might be one of the people I'm talking about.
I do agree that America has a problem with fascists out in the streets. Maybe if you and your local softball team had been better organized before this wouldn't have happened. Or maybe the efficacy of bats doesn't extend much beyond the edges of your local punk bar. And anyway it's not like it's just screwdriver fans I'm worried about these days.
