Reply #29: You Pretty Much Show Why The Argument Is Ridiculous.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

They're either nazis or they aren't. There is nothing more laughable then seeing the whole "well, they're like the nazis were in the beginning!" argument.

All of the emotions, circumstances, realities and atrocities that are associated with the term 'nazis' are associated BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID LATER. If the nazis had stopped in the beginning, as you are trying to compare to, there wouldn't be NEARLY the connotations associated with the word as there are. So to still use the term to describe others, but defending it by saying "well, like in the beginning", is amazingly deceptive and of misguided premise. There is no 'nazis in the beginning'. There's just nazis as they were, as they are remembered, for all they did and all the suffering and atrocities they caused. If you are to use the term as comparison, then the ONLY way in which it is applicable is if the target of the comparison is guilty of the same. When absent of that, the term is then used recklessly and ignorantly.
