    this line of thinking has narrowed way too much.

    people used ‘re****’ as a general slur for years and nobody was rounding up the mentally challenged for extermination. in fact, nobody ever used this word in front of the mentally challenged other than the socially awkward.

    nazi’s shouldn’t be tolerated. but the modern world acts like people who make mistakes or are mildly offensive are the same thing as nazis.

      Maybe that was the case during woke 1 but we have a lot more visible, vehement Nazis and general fascism now to bring that term back to its roots
