Sorry, but red shirt does have a point. People have been called a Nazi so many times because of small disagreements that now that we have musk make heil hitler signs, people actually wonder if he’s really a neo nazi or not.
People should keep the “nazi” label for the real assholes
Red shirt needs merely to turn around and see the brown shirt with the swastika. There isn’t a lot of grey area for interpretation of this comic, the artist is being very clear.
Mostly what I see are pedants who keep arguing that actually it’s a coyote circling the chickens, and that calling it a wolf de-legitimizes actually crying wolf, and that wolves had a very specific platform, and all the while the coyote is getting closer to the fucking henhouse.
Unless you’re talking about a version of the story where there really were wolves every time he cried wolf and nobody believed him until the wolves were eating people.
by your definition words lose meaning when they’re overused.
if that’s the case then why has the “n” word never lost its strength as an oppressive word?
I think it’s because words don’t lose meaning. I think it’s because Nazis brainwash people into thinking labeling Nazis as Nazis is wrong and should be used to label real assholes. problem with that is that Nazis come in many forms.
So…I’ll keep calling Nazis, Nazis, and you keep disagreeing with me.

Tbf, it has to an extent, hence the “A” VS “hard R” distinction. The power was taken back as they say through repeated usage, some would call overuse, by the community who is allowed to say it. Other communities still aren’t allowed to say it sure, but it did contextually lose power through overuse.

Voicing concerns as the republicans slowly claimed their way towards fascism is not the same as an imagined wolf.
The allegory would be watching a wolf circle the chickens but idiots dismissing it because then wolf hasn’t killed any chickens yet.
But that didn’t work as well for wolf sympathizer like you.

This isn’t the same as The Boy Cried Wolf.

Still not a perfect analogy but much closer.
Shut up Nazi
Exactly, thanks for the great example
Exactly. Nazi. Shut up.

try using it sometime, tell us if it’s lost some of its power.
