      I think it’s just that actual Germans have a really specific definition of what it means to be a Nazi, rather than just a fascist, solidly locked in the path to being a fascist, or somebody that acts like a fascist, talks like a fascist, and does fascist stuff.

      Now, I may jokingly theorize that it’s because a lot of Germans would fall into that category and need to rigidly define it so as to know where the boundaries are in order to skirt them, but in reality, it’s either actually that or because a LOT of Germans really really really fucking hate Nazis and take it really really seriously.
