I dunno if such kinds of posts are allowed here on Hexbear, but, is it too bad to unironically say the West/USA/NATO "National Socialist (Nazi)" / Fascist while arguing with NATOists/NAFOists/Liberals online? Because by seeing the amount of stuff NATOists say online, I really can't differ their discourse from NS discourse, except maybe by just replacing Germany by the West but still with the same speech about ethnic cleasing and genocide against non-Westerners, against Natives, against Leftists, against Jews of Conscience (Anti-Zionist Jews), against ppl from Third World Countries / Global South Countries, against Western political dissidents, against colonized nations etc.

Sorry for saying "National Socialist" and "NS", I am mostly saying so for do not trigger some users here who mind find the word "Nazi" just too intense/offensive.

you aren't wrong in identifying them as being fascist, but good luck getting a lib to take you seriously after you drop that bomb. you gotta warm them up to it with examples of them being fascist and let them come to that conclusion themselves because just starting an argument with the declaration that "everything you think you know about this is wrong" is not going to land well with a stranger.
