because once you attempt to start to apply any label it becomes more and more vague. If I am a black man from South Africa who hates white people for perpetuating the Apartheid, am I welcome or am I a racist? If I am a man who's own father transitioned to being a woman and I no longer feel comfortable around trans-people because I lost my 'father figure', am I a transphobe or am I welcome? I understand these are deliberately obtuse examples. I bring them up because I never know where on the spectrum the line is drawn for these labels yet people will gladly declare somebody a 'nazi' because their dad watches Fox News. Even asking the question "when does somebody on the right go far enough to be considered a fascist?" often is met with the retort "defending nazis makes you a nazi".
replyI'd be curious to know your answers to these because they seem rather obvious to me..
replyJust because some people calling someone a nazi are wrong doesn't mean everyone calling someone a nazi is wrong.
We both know what the 'answer' is because we are normal people who understand nuance - a skill many people have lost as they have come to have their ideals defined by their identity, not the other way around.
reply> Just because some people calling someone a nazi are wrong doesn't mean everyone calling someone a nazi is wrong.
Sometimes they aren't just wrong, they are the loudest.
From this reply your answer could still be read either ways and that someone is still a nazi regardless of how loud someone is.
replyThose of the conservative persuasion love to use the loudness of some people to invalidate all condemnations of nazis, right or wrong.
