        They’re fascists, not nazis. I’m not saying that to castigate you but to make your point bullet proof.

        Nazis are a very specific kind of anti Jewish (amongst other things) fascists.

          “Nazi” is more a colloquial term for “fascist who’s actually been allowed to practice their cruel and senseless fascist policies”, imo. Not someone saying that Israel is literally following the politics of one Adolf Hitler.

          So yeah, in essence, these Israeli Jews are nazis, however ironic it sounds.

            Nope, nazi is a specific term for a specific kind of fascist. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of people who don’t understand the words that they use but thats not the same things as them being correct.

            So no, the Israeli government are not nazis and only a moron would think that they were.

              The word “fascism” comes from Mussolini’s ideas and was later used to denote any political system with similar ideas. I think the use of the word “nazism” has been generalized in the same way.

                Yup, facsism is the umbrella term under which the different facsist groups, like the nazis, fall under which is what I said already.

                I know people who think god is real. They too are mistaken.

                Are the Israelis murdering Jewish people on mass? If not, they’re not nazis.

                  Are the Israelis murdering Jewish people on mass?

                  I mean, sort of by proxy they might be inspiring a bunch of hate crimes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if their actions on sort of a broader geopolitical scale are inspiring a kind of antisemitic cycle of violence, but I dunno if I’d say that makes them more specifically “nazis”, in like, the 20th century hitler ideology sense.

                  In any case, don’t be a linguistic prescriptivist, it’s cringe.

                    Lol what you mean is “no, they’re not killing Jewish people on mass that way that nazis do.” Don’t worry, anyone reading your comment will sew thats what you said.

                    No, words mean what they mean. They dont mean whatever the hell you feel they should whenever you feel like it. Its also antisemitic as fuck to call Jewish people nazis, due to the specific nature of nazis.

                    We can descend into literary anarchy, if you like but I think you’ll find it quite to be quite chocolately and up side down very quickly. BTW, I’ve just decided that chocolately and up side down now means frustrating and tedious. You must accept this or youre a cringy linguistic prescriptivist. Or is it only OK when you do it?
