Exerpts from the article:

There can be no comparison.

It has to stop.



My reaction:

"Jawohl, mein Kommandant!"


I think the article's inclusion in the "BS" section is totally appropriate. I've never heard anyone use the term "Nazi" in the literal sense of, as the article's author put it, "...perpetrators of one of history's worst crimes." It's use in common language is usually synonomous with "authoritian". Other characteristics associated with the actual Nazi regime in Germany (racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, low regard for human life) are not implied.

Is it the best word to use? No, but the author's attempt to overlay his interpretation of what the word means or should mean upon someone else's use of it seems to be saying, "I'm the expert here! Follow my instructions! Deviation will not be tolerated!" There's a word for those types of people.
