“My father died in WWII and I find this uses of fascism as an ad hoenim attack and a pejorative demeaning to his death.”
HUH?
How do you feel about showing your papers as a US citizen (assuming you are) to get a job or the invasion of your country? Isn’t that what he fought against?
He fought against Nazis. The actual ones who murdered millions, including some of my family in Poland. My uncle survived the Batan Death march.
Misusing those words demeans them and takes away from the gravity of the war and the millions who died fighting it.
Have respect for the dead and for those who fought to keep us safe and use other words if you are going to call someone names.
