Well we can reframe that slightly and it still works.

"You gaslit yourself into thinking a genocide was justifiable to win, and you lost. Now you are just a loser who supports genocide."

This is great. It's so flexible

"You threw economic populism and the poor people of this country under the bus in favor of chrony capitalism to win, and you lost. Now you are just a loser chroney capitalist."

"You became a xenophobe to win and you lost. Now you are just a xenophobe."

"You sacrificed a movement politics for donor money to win. Now you are just a loser with no base"

What the fuck does that guy think a Nazi is?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

An invidivual who supports genocide. What do you believe constitutes a nazi?

We can probably just be a bit more specific and it will still work.

By the actual definition, that is wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism

Nazis get so anal about semantics when you apply their own standards of accusations.

No problem calling third parties Russian spies without evidence. But waging a genocide does not make one a Nazi.

Oh and this was in 2015, so I guess Jill is cool with land grabs and avoidable human suffering so long as the people having their land stolen and their children murdered are Ukrainian.

I checked Wikipedia and it does not say Russian spy.

I don't care what americans say about third parties, I am not one of them, nor do I want to be one. I simply stated that a nazi is not one who supports genocide, by definition. Would you call helping some random stranger that happens to be supporting trump (which supports genocide) helping a nazi intentionally?

By your logic, anyone that supports genocide is a trump fan, hitler fan, etc.

Many preface their statements with "I am not a nazi but" and proceed to say things which sounds like they are nazis. Liberals are taking the cake on it.
