What constitutes a Nazi? Support for Adolf Hitler or his beliefs.


How do you reconcile witj people who define Nazi differently?

You're ignoring my question. That's your personal definition of a Nazi, which I'd agree with; however, many people have much looser definitions.


Merriam webster seems to agree with me.

I think maybe where you went wrong was asking what a Nazi is and expecting someone to actually answer it.


I'm not sure how to make my point clearer.
