"Stop overusing the word Nazi" No, you stop facilitating Nazism by pretending it's a phenomenon unique to 1930s Germany. When you say shit like that you are downplaying the monstrous actions of Christofascists who are in power and copying directly from the Nazi playbook as we speak. You're basically saying "well sure they're bad but not as bad as Nazis." That's you giving yourself an excuse to do nothing. That's you letting Nazism fly under the radar because "it can't happen here." It is happening. And if you're waiting for people to be put in literal gas chambers before you are willing to call it what it is, you're gonna be way too late to stop it.
