I don't call them Nazis because I dislike them, I dislike them because they're Nazis.

No they are fascists, Nazi was the shorthand for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), the first 4 letters.
Fascism gets its name from Italy, Mussolini's Fascist Party, but it is the name for the political ideology as a whole, there is no Nazism and Americans being called Nazis is kinda weird, imagine if the scenario was flipped and you called german fascists MAGAs.
Thanks for coming to my stickler talk.
If the situation were flipped, and Hitler was rising to power ~80 years after we had a massive war to take out MAGA fascists, then yeah I think people would refer to them as "MAGA", at least at first.
Nazi ~~means~~ refers to National Socialist, but at this point in history, it can also just refer to political movements that are fascist and Nazi-like. The meanings of words shift over time.
Edit: Fixed to appease a pedant.

I don't live in America, and many people here actually do use MAGA or Trumpism to describe the local right wing people and parties because they are largely just copying America...
imagine if the scenario was flipped and you called german fascists MAGAs.
It's semantics. The German and American fascists all pull from the same ideological and rhetorical playbook.
Veneration of the national security state. Zealous religious orthodoxy. Obsession with loyalty oaths and ethnicity sorting. Reflexive xenophobia. Institutionalized quackery.
It's all the same shit. Same as Apartheid Africa. Same as Kuomanting China. Same as Pinochet's Chile and Milei's Argentina.
What do you call people who wear red and black swastikas and say heil Hitler while doing a salute typical of the Nazi party?

Nazi is short for Nationalsozialist though. The party wasn't called Nazi, the members were.

"It is the correct word for donald trump and the people around him"
Love the Cody Showdy
Oh! This is the guy who talked about what a shithead Fetterman was even before the stroke! I could never find it again but I remember his face.
The channel‘s called Some More News
Lol nice username
I also enjoy your username.
Yeah, some more news is one of my favourites. I tend to listen to it like a podcast when i am driving to and from work. But the visuals help sometimes.
Its a great showdy.
They release both Some More News, and their related show Even More News as podcasts as well, for those who prefer that format.

Some More News is really good.
Their 3 hours takedown of Jordan Peterson is epic.
The Rogan one was pretty good too.
Don't look at the timestamp!
Never listen to fascists calling others communists, for them communism means any opposition to their fascism.
Cody seems so dispirited for months. Not that I blame him at all.
We've all been dispirited for months bud. Anyone who acts otherwise is either ignorant or hiding it.
I have a coworker that is not a trumpet and not dispirited. They positively radiate denial. They don't watch news or keep up on current events. Just a total ostrich.
Yet they are the ones that have energy to do the dishes. Following politics is exhausting!

I wish harm on them 🤷♂️
I also wish harm on them.
Just watched this a bit ago. Very good video.
Words don't matter here. All that matters now, is action.
Sabotage them any way you can!
They don't mean anything anymore... Seen people on here calling everything from Joe Biden to Buffalo wild wings fascist.. (real encounters)
Joe biden authored the patriot act.
You know, I thought you were wrong. I looked it up was ready to site sources, watched that video and I really dont know what to think anymore.
You should think about what Liberalism actually is and see if you agree with any of it
Well, technically Biden only authored the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995, not the patriot act. But the proposals in his bill were recycled into the patriot act.
The same thing happened to terrorist, a term that became overused and dead during the IWoT and yet the Trump regime is still trying to leverage that word against his political enemies.
For my own arguments, I use alternatives to fascist or get specific, such as calling it an autocratic regime that uses fascist rhetoric to justify state violence. That way my readers know I'm talking seriously about a serious thing.
Generally, the people who claim the meaning has changed or been watered down are fascists or their sympathizers or prescriptivists that fail to understand how language evolves. Watch them come out of the woodwork to explain how nobody is a nazi because the National Socialist party doesn't exist anymore. Buncha stupid fucking bastards.
