    radicalized Nazi.

    There is no such thing as a “radicalized” Nazi - all right-wing ideology is anti-radical. It’s kind of the whole point of right-wing ideology, see?

        No need to scream like an idiot.

        Again… there is no such thing as a “radicalized” Nazi. If you do not understand what is meant by the term radicalized, I will be happy to explain it to you.

            The term “radical” has a distinct meaning when it comes to the political - the term literally means “that which pertains to the root.” Ie, radical politics are politics which looks for the root causes of society’s ills. That is why radical politics is almost universally associated with left-wing politics. *Reactionary politics," on the other hand, is almost universally associated with right-wing politics - ie, ideologies that wants to prevent politics that attempts to cure the root causes of society’s ills. Right-wing ideology is always anti-radical - that is the entire point of right-wing ideology, has always been and always will be.

            In other words… the only one way for a nazi to be a “radical nazi” - and that’s by becoming an ex-nazi.

                When someone tries to convince me that the moon is made out of cheese I do not forget what cheese is just to spare the convincer’s feelings.

                Your misuse of important political meanings doesn’t make it less misinformational just because it’s misuse is something you’ve heard done on mainstream media.

                  It sorta does actually. Language evolves and its extremely common to have entirely different colloquial and academic definitions

                    The meaning of political concepts do not change - it doesn’t matter how desperately CNN wants to sell their “both-side-ism” bullcrap to you.

                  Hmmm. Do you always disambiguate word meanings by first taking them out of context and then applying some textbook definition you like?

                  I clearly meant this: https://www.jstor.org/stable/43783789

                  Even people writing papers on this use this word to mean that in this context.

                  I’m not denying other meanings exist. I’m just saying that you’re kinda being a jerk to get UMMM-ACTUALLYYY smart-points. In your head. They are only in your head my dude.

                    Even people writing papers

                    And? There are people “writing papers” that still think the USSR was “socialist” or that the US is “democratic.”

                    Political concepts have meaning, genius - that meaning doesn’t change just because said meaning upsets the feels of liberals such as yourself, okay?
