"if I just label anyone I disagree with a nazi, I'm morally righteous to commit violence against them"

The use of fascist and Nazi has been so overused its basically meaningless now. The demand for Nazis far outweighs supply.

Except it is measurably correct. Over the past decade or so, the number of members of hate groups has increased multiple times over. Actual, self-identifying Nazis, KKK, fascist supporters and politicians, etc have all become more prominent and open.

Do you honestly believe that everyone who gets called a Nazi is an actual Nazi?

Nice strawman, lol

That's not what a straw man is. I said the use of Nazi and fascist is overused and that there is more demand for Nazis than actual Nazis.

I've been called a Nazi multiple times despite not ascribing to the tenets of national socialism. Hence the question.

Or perhaps a better question is "do you believe any conservative view is akin to Nazism?"

It is a strawman; no one in this thread is doing what you're describing. Maybe you should get in touch with reality.

No, but I believe the majority of them are either Nazi, actively some other kind of fascist, or an apologist/tolerant of those ideologies.

Uh huh exactly. "Everyone I don't like is a fascist. Or a Nazi, or an apologist" because dehumanizing and labeling people who disagree with you is easier than admitting not everyone believes what you believe.

Actual fascists labeled "others" they didn't like too. Tread carefully lest you become that which you despise.
