There's never been anything wrong with calling actual Nazis Nazis, or even using ad hominem arguments against Nazis. Godwin's Law is a heuristic against the usefulness of comparisons between non-Nazis and Hitler/Naziism. Thinking it meant you won an argument was and is just lazy.

These are actually nazis and Nazi sympathizers and lol at there being none in p7. Sushy defends nazis all the time. Just look at this thread as he continues to try and squelch the truth. The bigoted hatred has been there in spades.
I can't prove a negative here, but yeah, I don't think there were any actual Nazis in P7. If you think differently, name them. BroadwaySushy defended Gorka and some alt-right people by claiming that they
aren't Nazis. Inherent in this defense is a recognition that being a Nazi is bad. Furthermore, he has explicitly repudiated Naziism and talked about his pride in his family fighting against the Nazis during WWII. I don't think he sympathizes with Naziism.

If people want to stop being called nazis they need to stop spouting racist and bigoted nonsense and they need to stop aggressively defending other nazis. Attacking people for calling nazis nazis just provides more concrete evidence the people are nazis.
Nazis have no patent on racist and bigoted nonsense. Calling someone a Nazi just because they are racist or bigoted is unwarranted.
