Big inspiration for the question is the assertion I’ve seen on Lemmy a few times that this user base is as bad/misogynistic/hateful. But also just curious.

You’re using concepts the Nazis used heavily in the same way that they did, just against them. You might want to interrogate that.

Editing because I just realized you were the person I responded to:
Hey I have a question. How were you criticizing me? Because that sounds like you’re accusing me of being a Nazi when the only actual evidence you have of that is me not liking when people throw Nazi concepts out online. Because unless you were criticizing me specifically that logical fallacy doesn’t apply.
shines a light in the face of using words against nazis TELL ME WHY YOU DID IT!
We live in a world where I’m now seeing various slurs that originated in Nazi circles being used as regular slang.
“Degenerate” as an insult is based in social degeneration theory, notably something coined by the original Nazi party to describe people they classed as sub-human, and they thought were leading to the degeneration of society.
Forgive me for not liking when people use concepts coined by the Nazis in the same ways the Nazis used them, just on different groups. It’s not like classing people as sub-humans has lead to problems in the past or anything.
Yes, fuck Nazis, but also fuck Nazi ideas, and maybe we shouldn’t be using them.
On the other hand. We should take things from Nazis and use them as we see fit because Nazis shouldn’t be allowed to have things.
What the Nazis had was bigotry, and violence, I’m good???
And we should take those things from them so they don’t have them anymore. You see what I’m saying.
Yeah I’m not disagreeing. It just sounded funny and I decided to make a silly/bad/stupid joke.
Ahh, sorry, misunderstood!
No worries, all good.
