Nazis are obviously bad, but this comment makes me think that anyone you don't like/like their comments/replies, you consider a Nazi?
Per Capita, in total, Per capita per year, or total per year? Each of these 4 types has a different answer, and the Nazis were higher in nearly every metric of slaughter.
The US is bad. The US has never been fully fascist, despite flirting with it. Nazi Germany was perhaps the most evil and oppressive country to ever exist in history, and certainly was for the 20th century.
What exactly is your point? Nazis are bad, but so is the US? I don't think too many people on Lemmy are fans of the US, but to insinuate that the Nazis are somehow more palatable by being compared to the US is absurd.
Even without defining those parameters, I also thought it was sort of strange to compare a political party vs country.
It's all strange. What's the point? "Hmmm, you think Nazis are bad? Have you considered that other countries are bad but significantly less bad? Checkmate!" It's just terminally online.
Oh yeah, at it's root, it was already bad.
I'm always interested in a decent discussion or thought experiment though, even if I completely disagree with the other person. 99% are so lazy nowadays it's not even interesting reading their copy/paste comments that have been recycled for the last decade
