Here's an example of the utter absurdity I get sent every day by my followers - this time from perrenial favourite, @EmpresWife ...

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife ‘Urgh- I hate being called a Nazi. It makes me so angry I’m going to become a Nazi’. This is an actual quote from everyone.

@fawfandans @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife or... 'being called a nazi isn't so bad. they're calling everyone one, after all. maybe there's something to this nazism thing. plus it pisses off all the right people. maybe I should look into it'

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife "I only want to commit genocide against the people I hate because lefties were mean and hurt my feelings" Fuck off fash.

@mykeypea @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife I am a Liberal. Literally the opposite, dumbass

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife So the left has been comparing the rhetoric and actions of the right to nazism for some time, and now the right wing base has grown to embrace actual nazis and nazi apologists. Is this because calling people nazis makes them nazis? Or is it because the left was right all along?

@PortiaPrince2 @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife the left might have been right all along. The problem is that their 'boy who cries wolf' rhetoric makes us who are on the sidelines a bit skeptical. I still think my original analysis is right but I have listened and engaged. Gotta leave now tho. have fun discussing

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife Not to presume to speak on someone else's behalf, but I THINK what he's saying is not that calling people Nazis turned them into Nazis, but rather creating the idea that conservative wins create a safe haven for Nazis caused Nazis to think it was safe to come out of hiding.

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife If you’re going to be stupid you should really do it in private.

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife Yup, thats why all the feminist turned into nazis after being called "feminazis" for years. Except no, thats not what happened

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife Calling Nazis Nazis, makes them more Nazi? Makes sense if you’re a Nazi, I guess.

@IBurnedMyFinger @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife you've been calling almost everyone nazis for 15 years and whilst you might be right about the infiltration of unsavoury people into some social structures within the right (I wouldn't know - I'm not right wing) I think we can safely blame the alt-right on actions of the far left

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife Oh, poor wee Nazis, getting so upset over name-calling that they turn into....... Nazis.... 🤣🤣

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife Did everyone calling you stupid have the same effect ? Rhetorical question .

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife It’s weird how leftist didn’t turn into Nazis despite being called Nazis since the eighties and YET...

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife We blame the Right Wing for calling Obama a Muslim Socialist Nazi Communist and accusing everyone they disagree with of being Socialists. Also we blame your kind for all of this:

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife how many times have we heard "the left are the real nazis" without deciding to become nazis?? o.o if someone called me a nazi i would say "what makes you say that?!"

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife So, are you claiming people become a nazi because some people point out that nazies are nazies? Gosh.

@t_casson @MikeStuchbery_ @EmpresWife I wonder if this guy thinks Hitler was really a socialist?
