I agree that we have to be careful about who we call nazis, and who they call nazis, but if you get offended by the phrase "fuck nazis", without further context or identifiers, then I'm ok with saying fuck off.
“fuck nazis” -> good
“if i call your group nazis, and you get offended, you’re a nazi.” -> bad
“don’t call people you disagree with nazis” is a response to the second example. conflating it with the first is the problem.
words matter, and calling out bad framing should not set off tribal dogpiling.
But the second part didn't happen. You went straight from 1 to 3. You are jumping to defend nazis. Fuck nazis.
"you are jumping to defend nazis."
where in your addled imagination did i say that?
because i've said in several different ways "fuck nazis, and fuck the social mechanisms empowering nazis."
but "this framing is bad and has actively helped the nazis." becomes "i love nazis" to people who can't fucking read.
which is why they love the uneducated.
and why the progressive movements actively fighting this shit for decades have been socially dogpiled into being "cringe," and chastised by insulting people with big words, because only nazis talk about framing and use big words. i often talk about jordon peterson types poisoning this particular well with their intentional bullshit.
was it my support for atheist and feminist thinkers? was it my hate for the heritage foundation? what part of that is defending nazis exactly?
If you don't have a problem with "fuck nazis", then we're good. If you see "fuck nazis" and want to defend them, fuck off. If you're good with "fuck nazis" then we're good.
