CW: talk about nazis, defining nazis, things nazis do
Defining "nazis".
Don't let anyone get away with defining "nazis" in a way that gives zero advance warning.
That is, stop them right there:
If they won't call someone a nazi who ticks these three boxes:
- promotes themselves with hateful rhetoric about vulnerable groups
- appeals to low-income voters for the benefit of high-income sponsors
- are corrupt
- seek to dismantle democratic institutions
And especially, if they insist on including criteria with "it's too late already" values, like:
- have attempted, initiated or carried out genocide.
- have installed themselves as dictators already.
How to stop them?
Difficult to say, but if they are even the least bit honest, they will accept that criteria that give no advance warning are worthless.From there, you can get them to think about it by asking "How could we set the criteria so that they do give us advance warning?".
If they are not the least bit honest, then stop them with a brick or the like.
