Nazi propaganda left on peoples driveways/doors.

I'd say that's exactly what a lot of posters on WP have been insinuating, that what happened once can't happen twice. FFS It was already happening when those dudes showed up & started the Godwin's law debate on whether or not it's OK to call anyone a nazi.

It's just a word they're nitpicking about, not reality.

Even if it is individuals "just using the nazi symbols to shock and scare people", they're still willing to use, and chose to use, specifically nazi symbols, and were sufficiently ok with that choice to carry out the action. At that point, the only difference I see between them and any other nazi is a matter of degree.

Sooner or later someone is gonna play the "they're just trying to make people THINK nazis exist" card, which inherently carries with it the implication that nazis DON'T exist - otherwise why would people be trying to "create the illusion" that they exist.

Its wild how the same people that claim the word "nazi" is overused, also bend over backwards nearly full-circle to treat every instance of the word nazi like it's fake or disingenuous, even when it's being used to describe actual real nazis. You could say you watched a historical documentary on actual nazis in world war two, and someone would pop up to pretentiously point out "not all germans were nazis you know...", even though they didn't say anything of the sort.

Given that nazis DO exist, and ARE still around, in various forms, it seems negligent to simply shrug this off and not at least attempt to take it even remotely seriously.

it needs to be repeated that godwin himself said that in these times there were definite exceptions to his rule. if it walks like a knotsee, talks like a knotsee, acts like a knotsee....

There are however misguided people downplaying the severity of an entirely real problem by complaining they've been tarred & feathered here, that's not the point, your political views should not intersect with this, end of story, if you don't want to get run over, get out of the road.

Thus perpetuating melodrama.

Honestly man, if you think this is a melodramatic subject, I just hope I'm the one to tell you you're wrong peacefully.
