I think we're in agreement. Personally I compare Trump and the project 2025 folks as nazis probably once a week in casual conversation. But it bothers me when I see neoliberals saying that and ignoring Palestine. So I think it depends on the comtext, so maybe I'm just being pedantic. But I do think there are edge cases where it's been counterproductive:
> For example, my views on the Trump regime doesn't reliably indicate my views about IDF.
This is true. But the reverse is not: Someone's views on the IDF do reliably indicate their views on ICE (opposed to both).
The Democrat leadership abdicated their moral high ground when they refused to halt arms sales to Israel. Biden never stood up to Netanyahu like he should have.
So their words about facism ring hollow now. And they are the ones that diluted the Nazi comparison.
The premise of some sort of "dilution" of the term nazi doesn't seem true -- usually I see that assertion in the context of an actual increase in nazi-like actions. Thus the more likely explanation is that the term 'nazi' isn't diluted at all, but more applicable now than in quite a while!
I assume the connection to israel perpetrating a genocide upon Palestinians is that, in similar fashion, a small, vocal minority is claiming some sort of "dilution" of the term 'genocide', and receiving a similarly weak reception?
