I met up with some old friends last night that I hadn't seen in ages. Some of them were discussing someone who had permanently left the group because he was a "nazi." Pressed to explain, they said that he had gotten sick of their liberal bullshit and printed off some articles from an "alt-right" website to show them. Apparently some of it was anti-semetic, which upset one of the Jewish guys. I didn't press for details as I'm a closeted shitposter and didn't want to reveal myself.
So Voat, what makes someone a nazi? Is it support of the third reich? White supremacy? A fashion taste incorporating elements of ancient design? Tell me.

My definition of Nazi is entirely during Hitlers reign. I don't consider anyone living today a classic Nazi. Those who self-proclaim to be Nazis, in my opinion, have warped and perverted the definition. This is simply because they were not part of the movement. They would be more appropriately named neo Nazis, which I believe most claim to be anyway. I think the movie American History X does play a decent portrayal of that specific movement.
The hijacking of the word by democrats, liberals, anti trumpers and politicians has no base in reality, and I'm really puzzled by their insistence on using it, both on trump and his supporters. Even when given evidence that he supports that which nazis don't, proof that he has helped citizens of all colors and religions, supporters and trump are labeled all kinds of crazy things.
Basically the left and anti trumpers have taken a notoriously unfavorable word to be called, perverted and warped it in an attempt to dehumanize, criminalize, and generally make it easier to hate and despise those who disagree with them. It's how you know they have no real argument, they resort to ree-ing and name calling
