Do you mean the literal definition of a Nazi which is a person who is a member of the far-right national Socialist German Workers’ Party?
Do you mean the sorta slang definition where someone is so strict about something that they will only allow it to be done their way an no ther other way (think grammar Nazi)?
Because last time I checked Elon is not a member of the far-right national socialist German workers party.
And whether or not hes the slang type of Nazi seems like it’s probably not what you’re talking about, but I’m guessing you could make that argument based on him instantly banning people he didn’t like off Twitter.
Nazis are a very specific thing. The term you and everyone else should be using is probably fascist. And to be fair many are calling him both.
Remember all Nazis are Fascists, but not all Fascists are Nazis.
I don’t at all agree with your defense or lack of acknowledgement that his behavior is mirrors that of actual 1930s/40s Nazis.
I will say the distinction you made is accurate, it would be more accurate if we called him a fascist. Well at least partially, because you don’t have to do a Nazi salute to be a racist, but you do if you’re a Nazi.
But you noticed how you used grammar Nazi down there? You just established that people have taken the term that used to apply only to the actual 130s/40s Nazis, but has since taken on new meaning.
The same argument can be made about hook and loop fasteners, so far Velcro was the most famous for it. It doesn’t mean that I’m wrong when I call off brand hook and loop fasteners ‘velcro’. That’s just what everyone knows it as, which gives the words their meaning, not the other way around.
Enough of the world population has used the term Nazi in the exact context that you seem to despise, and that’s enough for me and likely us.
Is it just that you don’t understand what a Nazi is?
