While we're at it, there's a music thread invoking the Gestapo. As if artists do not deserve for their work to be protected? As if there is a parallel?

I think using those words in any way in today's culture is intellectually lazy as well as intentionally provocative/trollish. It's a cheap way of saying, "Look how strongly I feel about something." Instead of feeling I want to support the person in their strong objection to something, it turns me off to the point where I don't even want to open the thread so titled.... it sends the clear signal that a hysteriacal, closed mind is at work and that someone is shouting at me from a soapbox.

It would be like if all of a sudden, we had threads with words in their titles like "baby killers," but then there was an expectation that rational thought and discussion would occur. How could it possibly?

Mother-rapers, baby-killers, dog-eaters, kitten-smashers-- and Nazi's. Any language like that must be MEANT to inflame and enrage! It's... propagandist thinking.
