kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.

      Oh yeah the American legal system and prison-industrial-complex are notorious for arresting only criminals and not just anyone off the street for say existing while black.

        Stop diluting the word “Nazi.” All it does is water down the meaning and provide cover for the real Nazis.

        Being an authoritarian does not make someone a Nazi.

            Then you’re literally just helping them by playing their game of co-opting terms with definite meanings.

            Congratulations on helping Nazis. You are part of the problem.

              I don’t know how you think calling a cop whose excuse is they’re just doing their job dilutes the term Nazi for you, but I’m most definitely not helping nazis

                That’s not what a Nazi is. That’s an authoritarian. All Nazis are authoritarians but not all authoritarians are Nazis. Nazis didn’t and don’t do the horrible things they do because they’re authoritarians, they do them because they’re extremist ideologues; their particular brand of authoritarianism emerges from that ideology.

                Authoritarianism, on the other hand, could come from a genuine place of wanting to keep people safe. That doesn’t make it right or admirable, but the impetus behind it is not harmful, only the way in which that desire is enacted.

                By saying they’re the same thing, you’re playing their game where Nazis can hide behind the less extreme term.

                You can be anti-authoritarian without being needlessly hyperbolic to the detriment of the point you’re trying to make.

                  she literally locked up undesirables in slave labor prisons under the guise of enforcing the law and just doing her job. this adherence to the law, regardless of true justice, is exactly what made every Nazi, down to the paper pushers, evil, and I won’t pull punches just because some of the Nazis held racial animous or were the ones actually operating the gas chambers.

                    Still not a Nazi. You’re still pointing to the authoritarian similarities, not the ideological ones.
