    This is a non sequitur and a false dillema. And it’s also not helpful for communication.

    I can say fuck ICE, and people know what I’m talking about (generally anyway).

    If I say fuck Nazis it’s generic. Am I saying fuck members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party? Am I saying saying fuck fascists? Am I saying fuck authoritarians? Am I saying fuck the geriatric Cheeto reality tv celebrity? Am I saying fuck all of the above?

    Having ways terms can allow one to say who we specifically wish were fucked allows more accurate and concise fuck based communication.

    Don’t call them nazis. They are heading in the same direction as nazis were, but the nazis were way worse. Calling ICE nazis downplays actual nazis.

    ICE are fascists, no doubt about it. But nazis threw handicapped people out the 5th floor window, did public executions, tortured people to death, sent millions to their death in death camps, did mass executions and threw their bodies in mass graves, locked people in their house and burned them alive, did medical experiments on people like testing how long pregnant women stayd alive after being injected with chlorine, among many more horrible atrocities.

    I said it before but not very well, I hate that they get to lable themselves as police, despite all the justified hate for cops that’s not what they should be it’s a step in the wrong direction
