      The symbolism is used for a slippery slope argument to the very horrors we see Russia committing today.

      That’s exactly what I say.

          Noi don’t. I didn’t call the leadership of the Ukraine totalitarian, you are obviously misreading me.

          All in saying that it’s unhelpful to call either side Nazi.

          I’m up for calling the Russian regime all the other names (authoritarian, totalist). If you listen to Zelenski, he doesn’t call the Russians Nazis, why? Because you get stuck in historical rethoric.

          Just call them Russians. That should become the new bad guy word. Read back what I said, and you’ll see.
