I think anyone who engages in, advocates, or aids a genocide, particularly based on a perceived sense of racial superiority over the victimized group, qualifies sufficiently as a Nazi.
Where in that post did the user advocate for genocide? Also real question, were the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide also Nazis? Did Turks become Nazis during the Armenian genocide? That seems like too broad of a definition to me
I've been using the term "fascist" to describe Democrats for quite some time, because really looking closely at the definitions/characteristics of fascism and how this society works - you have this economically and structurally enforced racial supremacy, you have the nationalism, the militarism, the merger of business and state - the fact that Democrats pay lip service to leftism doesn't really change it. Democrats haven't really changed in the last two years, rather, the genocide of Palestine just laid bare who they were for us.
That seems apt. Democrat complicity in the Gaza genocide was the last straw for a lot of people, and arguably why Kamala lost. Importantly as well, I suspect Dems will not be trusted again by a large group of the population unless significant changes are made or the party is "Theseus-ed" into a completely new format, if they survive as a party at all. And that segment of the population grows every day as awareness of the genocide spreads and is discussed.
