Don't know about USA, but in Germany the inflationary use of "Nazi" by leftists weakened the term a lot. So if someone is called a Nazi, you don't have to assume anymore it's a bad person. I believe it will be impossible to turn that back.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_creep and https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aap8731
Yes, that's definitely what it sounds like and totally not people who thought they would get punched for being a Nazi coming out because now they realize Nazism is more tolerated than they thought it was
More tolerated? Let me know when the nazi's win an election
Here’s a photo from the Republican National Convention
Ah perfect evidence.
Yeah. It is. When someone does the Nazi salute in public, they are telling you who they are, and you should believe them.
The previous sentiment goes for anyone. When they clearly tell you, through actions not words, who they are, you would be wise to believe them. It is extremely rare that someone intentionally acts against their own personal interests at the time of their actions. They may unknowingly do so, such as by voting for Nazis, but rarely do they do so intentionally.
No its not. Its a screenshot devoid of context.
How long have you been on the internet that you are given an image and take that image at face value?
I saw the video, which had context. She brazenly did a Nazi salute, and you are sealioning, which indicates that you're a Nazi sympathizer.
Its amazing what context can do when you have it.
