A Thought Experiment on What and Who We Like to Call "Nazis"?
Let’s have a thought experiment.
Say we ask a holocaust historian, nay, a survivor, or relative of a survivor, which of the following reminds them more of the dictatorial nature of the Third Reich:
(a) a law that says everyone needs to have health insurance, or,
(b) a law that says you must have all of you proper identity documentation on you at all times because law enforcement agencies will ask you to present them so soon as they suspect you of being somewhere illegally based upon a very unclear and vague set of criteria?
Which do you suppose they’d chose?
This is of course very subjective I can imagine, but try it out.
*note to mods: I’m not suggesting anyone is a nazi. I agree with your apparent rule to ban all such nazi-name calling. My point is to suggest the fundamental absurdity and hypocrisy in labeling one politician Hitler for things like (a) while supporting politicians who support things like (b).
