Thank you for pointing out the obvious differences between REAL Nazis and the ones people claim are because of their political beliefs. Sadly, the name callers often behave like actual Nazi practices themselves.

We often hear that words matter, and they certainly do. Casual use of words that have caused grave damage in the past are particularly dangerous.

Many must not fully grasp Hitler's philosophy to make such charges and point to "similarities".

In essence, the Nazis believed in the superiority of the "Aryan" race, which they regarded as the "master race." Their goal was to purify and expand this group while establishing a totalitarian empire led by a singular leader. The Nazis' genocidal policies included the extermination of Jews and the displacement, enslavement, or genocide of entire Slavic populations in areas such as Poland, Ukraine, and Russia, to make space for German settlers.

There is a vast difference between those who value all human life and the Nazis, who viewed non-Germans as inferior—subhuman. Moreover, there is a significant distinction between removing illegal immigrants from a country's territory and the Nazi policy of murdering or forcibly removing entire populations from their own lands for territorial expansion.
