    It’s exactly the same here in the US. Anyone right of Bernie Sandars was called a Nazi for a few years there (happens less today, but still happens), so now when someone shouts nazi, everyone just rolls their eyes.

      I don’t roll my eyes, I just ask what precisely they mean when they say Nazi, and usually precisely what they mean by whatever word they use in that response with a flexible definition. Because it could literally be anything between “murder anyone who isn’t straight, white and Christian” and “not as progressive as Biden”.

          I mean, he essentially campaigned and won on not being Trump. He’s been competent enough in office though.

          “Inoffensively competent” is about the highest praise I’d give him, and it’s deeply sad that that’s a substantial improvement over his predecessor.

          I’ll give Trump that not everything he did in office was terrible - he did sign the FIRST STEP Act which was broadly a good thing, and I approved of the Devos Title IX policy changes, and that’s about it.

        Biden isn’t progressive. He’s kind of socially left and economically right.

      Ramifications of failures from education systems throughout the U.S.

      Can’t be surprised that no one articulates themselves properly when the only things most of these people read are less than 150 characters at a time.

      Didn’t Chris Matthews have a meltdown during the 2020 primaries when Bernie won Nevada, because he thought the DSA was going to round people up and execute them in Central Park?

      It also happens the other way: Sanders, Cortez are called socialists, and even refer to themselves as socialist. Neither are anything of the sort.
