First of all, I didn't call anyone a Nazi. Once again my words are being maliciously misinterpreted. I said that acting like a Nazi is bad and that some people here are acting like Nazis.
Second of all, of course Nazis didn't just use words, but that doesn't really matter to me. Evil thoughts and words are only a few steps away from violence. Hitler and every other mass murdering tyrant accomplished what they did by telling people that the evil thoughts that they already had were ok and that they should act on them. All it takes is a strong authority figure to turn people who are a little bit evil into people who are truly evil. If a person already hates somebody, they always will try to harm them if they can be made to believe that doing so either isn't wrong and that they can get away with it. That is why it is wrong to hold any hateful thoughts. Hateful thoughts tend to lead to hateful actions, and even when a person doesn't act on those hateful desires, they can spread hatred to other people who will act on them.
Hatred makes you unable to tell the difference between people who are truly evil like Nazis and people who are less evil or not evil at all. It makes you unable to think rationally about other people or recognize your own flaws. That is why politicians are so toxic. They are completely blind to the good in people on the other side.
