    That is exactly what I am trying to convey, thank you.

    Red shirt is wrong for ignoring the pointing person. The person pointing out the nazi is right. I am trying to argue that the person pointing out the nazi and the people who conditioned red shirt to the point of ignoring a legitimate cry are not the same and ultimately did not help things.

    Yeah I get that they would try to make noise to hide in. But I imagine that is not the majority of cases where someone is labeled as a nazi. Note this was from 2010, long before Trump entered politics.

    And this isn’t to say I like, support or side with them it’s just people ignore the term after a while of hearing it everywhere for all kinds of things that don’t fit

    I know, it’s the response from red shirt. He doesn’t listen to the guy calling out the nazi, explaining how it’s probably just overexaggeration.

    It’s similar to the ending of the boy who cried wolf. It’s not that most people like wolves, or side with wolves, or think wolves aren’t a threat. It’s the person that that yells wolf is ignored when the real deal comes around.

    I don’t like nazis. At all. But there is certainly an argument that the term had been used too loosely (I was just called one in this comment section ffs) and now people are making nazi salutes in DC and are being ignored.

    Crying wolf…again. The guy in the comic has to specify “literally a nazi” because using the regular word’s meaning has been diluted so he has to put emphasis to specify it’s a “true” nazi, not just a “vague” nazi.

    Yes it’s frustrating red shirt won’t turn around to see that it is in fact a true, no shit, actual, factual, punchable, dictionary definition of a nazi but that’s because the word has been overused. Your reply is proof.
