      They all do the fascist salute. The Nazis took it from the Italian fascists. If the fascist isn’t German, trying to create a master race (the nazis were not the master race they were supposed to create it), or attempting to institute a 1000 year reich then they are not Nazis.

      Most fascists are not Nazis, that doesn’t make them better.

        Fascist/Nazi are interchangeable in American culture.

        You’re wasting your time arguing this pointless detail.

        Elon and Trump (nee Drumpf) are both very direct German descendants.

        Elon wants to repopulate a planet with his DNA specifically. Trump wants to fuck his own blonde, white, daughter.

        If it talks like a fascist, is German, and wants its DNA spread around, and then does a Nazi salute, I think it’s time to call a spade a spade, or more accurately, a Nazi.

          You’re stretching quite hard. Neither man is German. They are fascists not Nazis. We don’t need to be ignorant as to which flavor of fascism we are facing

        Right, I get what you’re saying. But words and affiliations change over time and can get appropriated by other parties. Neonazis for example. They’re all fascists and I’m positive Elon Musk emulated Hitler, for whatever reason.

          All Nazis are fascists but not all fascists are nazis much like communists are leftists but not all leftists are communists.
