It’s an irrelevant question leading into a off topic point that you’d like to make. If you’d like to deliver a point, go ahead and comment it. Not my job to try and land your point for you though.
Per Capita, in total, Per capita per year, or total per year? Each of these 4 types has a different answer, and the Nazis were higher in nearly every metric of slaughter.
The US is bad. The US has never been fully fascist, despite flirting with it. Nazi Germany was perhaps the most evil and oppressive country to ever exist in history, and certainly was for the 20th century.
What exactly is your point? Nazis are bad, but so is the US? I don’t think too many people on Lemmy are fans of the US, but to insinuate that the Nazis are somehow more palatable by being compared to the US is absurd.
It’s all strange. What’s the point? “Hmmm, you think Nazis are bad? Have you considered that other countries are bad but significantly less bad? Checkmate!” It’s just terminally online.
I’m always interested in a decent discussion or thought experiment though, even if I completely disagree with the other person. 99% are so lazy nowadays it’s not even interesting reading their copy/paste comments that have been recycled for the last decade
Odd to call it “winning,” but the answer is “historical total.” The US has murdered tens of millions more over its several hundred year history than Nazi Germany killed in the less than half a century it existed.
It isn’t sanity to pretend that hundreds of years of brutal history are equally comparable to an extremely condensed period of the single most brutal country to exist in modern history. Nazism is far more evil than liberalism, even if liberalism is still inevitably evil.
If the bar for being a Nazi is merely killing people many of us would be Nazis.
Personally I think nazihood has more to do with a wish to genocide (the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.).
Who do you supposed killed more people. The Nazis or the USA?
What a strange and leading question.
Some hard numbers might add clarity to this soup of outraging.
I’m confused by the whole comment line. Do I seem like I’m outraging, or have any strong opinions any way that needs to be clarified?
Focus on answering the question. It aids clarity.

Suit yourself.
I see you took the cowards way to avoid an argument.
That user was cowardly from the jump. It’s why they wouldn’t outright make their point, but “just ask questions.”

Even without defining those parameters, I also thought it was sort of strange to compare a political party vs country.

Oh yeah, at it’s root, it was already bad.

Ooh, evasive. Which metric did USA win? And by how much?
Just delivering a dose of sanity to this low hanging fruit salad.
Of course nazis are bad. But you people. Look at you. Frothing on command. Bunch of drones waiting for your target programming.

Oh how you evade my point.
Remember. A few years of deprivation, a rousing propaganda campaign and a billionaire’s funding, and you too might become the next “bad guy”.
Heck, none of these people ever saw a nazi outside of a videogame, and look at their passion. Puppets looking for a master.
I’ll make it simple for you: Nazis are bad.
Were they born bad?
When one becomes a Nazi, they cease to be able to be considered good.
Oh just answer the simple question
No, they were born innocent, when they became nazis they became bad
Ah so they changed. Why did they change?
Criminals aren’t born bad, they have to break the law which is a social contract.
Tolerance is also a social contract that Nazis have opted out of.
Fuck Nazis.
Ya I saw that movie too.
If you knew anything about what you were talking about you would already know.
Nazis love dehumanizing people
Go on and tell us how much better you are than a Nazi.
You realize that calling people nazis is dehumanizing too, right?
Nazi is a subclassification of humans, it actually does the opposite of dehumanizing by more thoroughly defining the human/humanity relationship.
But if me saying “fuck Nazis” gets you riled up so be it 🫡

Normal people just want to pay their bills and get high. But sometimes life gets fucked up and people are stressed out.
Then some politicians come along with a story about how those guys with the different skin/religion/etc are to blame.
And then some rich guys buy you some guns.
So maybe it’s the politicians and the rich guys that we should be looking at.
You don’t need money or power to be a deadbeat fucking Nazi.
