I’ve been asking people this a lot lately just to be sure there’s no fascists in my orbit. Thankfully everyone has answered Nazis so far.

I don’t disagree with the metaphor, but I don’t like thinking of people as less than people. It makes it easier to dehumanize them and dismiss their very real human emotions and effect on the world.

We have real, thinking people who are wrapped up the the cult of personality, and they think they are righteous. They think their ignorance is as good as our knowledge. They think their hatred and intolerance is the same as our disgust and rejection. They think their desire for power is the same as our hope for equality. They are wrong, and they believe they are right.

They are not cockroaches. They are not unthinking vermin to be exterminated. They are a very real enemy that needs to be fought. Politically if possible, violently if necessary.

Being a Nazi is like being an outlaw, in the original medieval sense: by them insisting on dehumanizing others themselves, they break the social contract and therefore cease themselves to be protected by it. Nazis are the only group for which it is 100% acceptable, necessary, and good to dehumanize!

I don’t really care about the morality of dehumanizing these people. Nazis must be stopped by any means necessary. If they’ve fallen for it too hard to get them out, they are the enemy.

It’s not Musk’s arm gesture; it’s Musk’s Nazi salute, done twice, proudly, in front of a rally. The news media is all, already, too cowed to even call it what it is, and this is week 1 of fascist rule. Any society that does not condemn and ostracize him for his Nazism has already become a Nazi society.

Those journalists are worried about getting fired themselves by the Nazi-coddling snowflake cancel-culture mob.
