    The Nazis weren’t Nazis, so we shouldn’t call them Nazis either by that logic.

    If some dipshit pops out to say “they aren’t German nationalists!” you’ve found a Nazi.

        You yourself admit they weren’t socialists, correct? So how can they be national socialists?

        The Nazis weren’t Nazis, they were just Nas.

        But that’s arguing technical and semantic details instead of concerning yourself with the important bits, like what Nazis do and plan to do, and how you might punch them enough to get them to stop doing both.

          The Nazis were the nazis because that’s how nationalsozialistische is pronounced, specifically the national part, https://youtu.be/VxxFl5Xc8nc, and then the allies used nazis as the nickname/shorthand. Has nothing to do with the socialist part, so your argument makes no sense.

          Did you think they were called nazis because there is the “zi” part in sozialistische?

          Because this comment thread is starting to feel like those reddit moments where someone starts pompously arguing from a position of ignorance
