This is the way.

This is a pro life tip.

I read that quote in mom's voice in my head. Kinda like "don't swear honey, it makes you look uncivilized." Then I wondered, is there a civilized way to call someone a nazi?

There's a logic flaw in this post and that makes me feel uncertain if this is just ragebaiting or what... It certainly feels like it, and it is kinda worrisome and sad if we let this kinda shit content drive the platform usage into senseless insult throwing (I'm kinda expecting that I'll be called a Nazi for not agreeing on what this post represents, precisely my point).

You can say "fuck Nazis" and I'd agree. Fuck them, hard with a cactus. If someone disagrees with "fuck Nazis" sure, you found the Nazi. I agree with that. If in a conversation someone is defending a Nazi ideology or some clear Nazi shit, yeah call them Nazis and anyone defending them are clearly aligned on that shit.

But then step two of the image makes no sense.

Watch for the "don't call people who disagree with you Nazis" comments.

Saying fuck Nazis is not the same as calling someone who disagrees with you a Nazi. If someone would call someone a Nazi for disagreeing on some random topic, and someone says don't call them Nazis just because they don't agree with you, that doesn't make them a Nazi. There is nuance here, what was it they disagreed with? It feels like the post is just trying to give way to the fact that if you call anyone a Nazi and they disagree that makes them even more Nazi. It the same shit as accusing someone of stealing and when they deny it you answer with "that's what a thief would say". Well yeah, but it is also what a non-thief would say. So it proofs nothing.

Can't we just agree on hating Nazis and calling a Nazi to anyone making a Nazi salute or saying Nazi shit or defending Nazi shit? Can we agree that saying "don't call people who disagree with you a nazi" doesn't immediately imply they are Nazis? It doesn't make any fucking sense, and I'd wish to see better content in Lemmy than this baity shit. Instead of this shit, post a nice image that says "fuck Nazis" with a middle finger as decoratiin, and I'm sure you will see less crap than in this post.
