Reminds me more of when I got called a Nazi on Reddit for nothing more than stating the fact that one of the main reasons long term capital gains tax is lower than income tax is because it incentivizes investment, lol.
Unfortunately I can't remember why on the other side, but I'll never forget the most notable thing about that day--that was the day I got called a Nazi and a Commie on two different subreddits on the same day, lol.
Don't even try to pretend that this isn't a very common move, especially online.
Well sure, of course people can be stupid as fuck. I think my comment pointed that out very clearly.
It’s a catch all for a perceived “bad guy”.
That's just the kind of thing a Communist Nazi would say!
This isn't what people saying x can't be nazis, because it isn't the 1930s-40s, are saying this too. They are saying this when people are pointing out people who are nationalists, and support ethno-states, and the like, as nazis. In the situation you are talking about they just say that everyone is a nazi online or these days. That specific statement though, it comes from particular people, for particular reasons.
