I may be over thinking it, but that's not what it reads like to me. Like at all.
The post doesn't say "anyone defending a Nazi" is a Nazi. Which sure, makes sense. I agree.
The post says "anyone saying that you shouldn't call a Nazi to those who disagree with you means they are by extension Nazis". That assumes that calling someone a Nazi can never be wrong if they disagree with you and you are not a Nazi. Someone that is not a Nazi can disagree with someone that is not a Nazi. The post seems to try and create discord by saying that a witch hunt against Nazis is perfectly fine because Nazis are shit. And anyone against a witch hunt of Nazis means they are a Nazi. Well, I'm against all kind of witch-hunts because they are based on accusing whoever just out of hatred with very little way of fighting against it fairly.
Or to explain my meaning in a different way. I'm against the death penalty. That means that I don't want any form of legal death penalty, even if someone is a Nazi. Does that mean now that I treat Nazis too nicely? I can see and understand that someone disagrees with me and I would disagree with someone proposing the death penalty for nazis. They can call me a Nazi then I guess? Just because I'm against the death penalty? I'm not against the death penalty to defend Nazis, I'm just against the death penalty. This post is in my opinion just shit trying to ragebait. I don't see who could benefit from it, but surely there are possible reasons for it.
It does, that's the person out of nowhere saying
None of this is specific to anything or anyone unless that person is disagreeing with fuck nazis.
