Point 1: This is your one strike for you to define my arguments in defiance of my words. I will just block you the next time YOU decide what I know.

I'm not using Nazi as a synonym for evil. Evil is subjective and nebulous. Evil is an illusion. Nazis believe that all of their victims are evil. It's the ultimate projection of their own ignorance. I've already told you that Nazis are emblematic of malignant authority, which always manifests in the same way; the deification of the hierarchy of authority resulting in self justification of acts against individuals to perpetuate its own existence. What would I call malignant authoritarians prior to 1900? I'd still call them Nazis. What people hate about Nazis is that their genocide was undeniable. Most are perfectly OK with prisons, wars, and slavery as long as it serves their own comfort. "Nobody panics when things are going according to plan, even if that plan is horrific." If you insist on a historical definition, I would consent to "Mammon Worshippers," as they were known in the time of Christ: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammon

Point 2: Your denial doesn't change reality. Whether you're being honest about growing up in Gaza or not, when authority decides where dissidents can live with walls, borders, or laws, they've created a prison. When authority decides that it can use violence to enforce a prison, it enacts a genocide in the prison, which is now a concentration camp.

Point 3: You are free to disagree, but again I iterate that by adhering to the definitions enforced by Nazis you are expanding their influence and validating their narratives. Authority ALWAYS depends on pretence to establish in-groups and out-groups. It ALWAYS hollows out the individual until nothing but a murderous and obedient drone remains, and if it fails, it always throws the "degenerate" into the slave camps.

What you need to understand is that malignant authority has been the one nemesis to the human condition throughout history. No matter what they call themselves, what period of history, or whether they're seen as heros or villians. The one, "boogeyman" who has proven themselves indefensible in every scenario are the Nazis. So when I tell you that Israelis are Nazis, I'm challenging you to MEANINGFULLY describe the difference. The Gaza Strip is Auschwitz. Prove me wrong. On the ground, in the world created by their authority, there is NO difference.

You're assuming that I'm stupid because I don't adhere to your rigid definitions of fascism. I'm assuming that you're intelligent enough to understand the concepts on an archetypal level. Hopefully I've proved you wrong, and hopefully you'll prove me right.

Cyberpsychosis? Sounds like an excuse to me.

Define mental illness, define addiction, define help, define force.

Given that fascism inherently utilizes pretense and labels to control the framing of every argument, I counter with the assertion that, “a Nazi is, as a Nazi does.” If an individual deifies the authority of the government and worships its power by oppressing other individuals, that person is a Nazi. That goes for every cop that enforces unjust laws, every politician that executes a prisoner, every political party that goes to war, and every corporation that justifies profit at the expense of the wellbeing of a laborer. You’re free to disagree, but you’re just helping Nazis hide behind whatever logo they’re currently wearing.

They were in the in-group as long as they paid taxes and followed the laws of the people in control of their lives. As long as they never disobeyed or rebelled. I urge you to look up consent before you hurt somebody.

I answered you.

A Nazi is just an end stage authoritarian, once the malignancy has become terminal. There are other words, but only dishonest people care to make the distinction.
