kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.

mod says it’s misinfo (probably without fact checking) and removes the comment

    I don’t know how you think calling a cop whose excuse is they’re just doing their job dilutes the term Nazi for you, but I’m most definitely not helping nazis

      That’s not what a Nazi is. That’s an authoritarian. All Nazis are authoritarians but not all authoritarians are Nazis. Nazis didn’t and don’t do the horrible things they do because they’re authoritarians, they do them because they’re extremist ideologues; their particular brand of authoritarianism emerges from that ideology.

      Authoritarianism, on the other hand, could come from a genuine place of wanting to keep people safe. That doesn’t make it right or admirable, but the impetus behind it is not harmful, only the way in which that desire is enacted.

      By saying they’re the same thing, you’re playing their game where Nazis can hide behind the less extreme term.

      You can be anti-authoritarian without being needlessly hyperbolic to the detriment of the point you’re trying to make.

        she literally locked up undesirables in slave labor prisons under the guise of enforcing the law and just doing her job. this adherence to the law, regardless of true justice, is exactly what made every Nazi, down to the paper pushers, evil, and I won’t pull punches just because some of the Nazis held racial animous or were the ones actually operating the gas chambers.

          Still not a Nazi. You’re still pointing to the authoritarian similarities, not the ideological ones.

              I don’t believe you, but even if we accept that as true, it’s still authoritarians you have a problem with. You haven’t made your case that Kamala is specifically a Nazi, because Nazism is an ideology with specific defining features.

              And that’s why your post got removed. You’re being hyperbolic, because you don’t like her, but what you said is nevertheless factually untrue.

                what I said in the thread is absolutely true, as is what I said here. your rhetoric mirrors modern neonazis who eschew the title because they aren’t a member of a defunct German political party.

                  Bruh, you can’t be serious. Saying somebody is not a Nazi doesn’t make them a neo-Nazi, even if neo-Nazis say that same thing. neo-Nazis also eat food, and that means people’s eating habits mirror those of neo-Nazis! OMG!

                  Nobody can stop you from believing whatever you want, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us are obligated to entertain your personal version of reality.
