Congrats, you just summed up a 60+ years conflict with, "they are NAZIs because I say so and I am the moral authority on all things."
Impressive.
Are we disagreeing on whether or not a genocide is taking place in Palestine?
I'm disagreeing what is happening in Gaza is tantamount to what the NAZIs did.
The NAZIs themselves didn't start with what we say today that "the NAZIs did" - the Holocaust - they started with extreme racism, claiming to represent an entire ethnicity, claiming that said ethnicity was racially superior and a "normal" Genocide along ethnic lines of people from an etnicity they deemed subhuman, just like the Zionists.
You're making the disgusting argument that even when an ethno-Fascist group is displaying massive similarities to the NAZIs at the mid/later point of that ideology, in terms of behavior, discourse and doing a violent mass genocide of people from an ethnicity they deem "human animals", it's improper to compare them to the NAZIs until these newer ethno-Fascists have committed their very own Holocaust.
By your logic we have to wait for the newest version of the same variant of Fascist as NAZIs to take their current Genocide all the way to a Holocaust just like the NAZIs before we can compare them to NAZIs.
PS: What's happening in Gaza was tantamount to what the NAZIs did in the Warsaw Ghetto. I say "was" because the size and nature of the killing and destruction in Gaza has already go far beyond what the NAZIs did in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Calling them NAZIs is not a comparision.
Good thing I did not call them NAZIs.
I called them "modern day Nazis", exactly because they're "like the NAZIS" rather than being the actual National Socialist Party of The German Worker.
It was always a comparison.
Stfu d00d you don't have a solid ideology that's why you lean on using trigger words like NAZI and argue like a petulant child.
Why I even bother.
Zionists are ethno-Fascists like the Nazis, who are the most violent kind of Fascist around.
Congrats for totally and very purposefully missing the point and learning no lessons at all.
"The point" and "the lesson" OP was spouting off about was NAZI this and NAZI that. Not helpful at all.
That's some pretty extreme wilful blindness you have there if from that long post all that you got was that the acronym NAZI was imperfectly used as a shortcut for ethno-Fascist.
I mean, you're absolutely right that ethno-Fascist (which, as I said, is an ultra-violent extremely racist kind of Fascist of which there are only 2 big examples: NAZIs and Zionists) would be better there than NAZI.
You're also totally missing the point if that's all you took for that post or think that you criticizing the slightly innapropriate use of NAZI is a criticism which in any way addresses 99% of what was in there.
I addressed the glaring fallacy. This person had no intention of debating actually truths they were just whining about their own personal beliefs and moral superiority. I'm not going to fall on my knees to suck their dick because they think they've figured out some ambiguity that "everyone else is missing."
