I understand that it is bad when it misrepresents the actual state of things.

Let's generalise. Is a painting bad? Is a description bad? Yes if it is used to mislead people. No if it portrays things accurately.

Holding yourself to the highest standards of correctness serves no one. The nazis - which we can now officially call nazis, by the way, it can no longer be seen as hyperbole - do not even use words according to their meaning, and they won't be particularly interested in your view of that matter.

You can't fight nazis with honourability, just like you can't fight intolerance with tolerance. It's a paradox.

How many people thought of themselves as better-behaved in 1935? Do you think they reconsidered their position in 1941? It doesn't matter, the window of opportunity to prevent the nazis from irrevocably installing themselves has passed.

You can't reason with fascism. They only understand violence. It's terrible, yes. No one wants to use violence.

Then again, the German constitution has provisions for fighting nazis with all means necessary as a last resort, so maybe we can just make them fuck off? Or do we wait until the 21st century version of 1939 and quibble in the meantime?

The choice is yours, as it is mine.
