Please for the love of God stop using the term "PC Master Race"

[merco]

Opposing nazi ideologies does not mean telling people what they can't say on the internet. Instead of trying to police people's use of language you should go outside and do some volunteer work at a refugee shelter. That way you could actually fight for some good in this world and show the world that racism sucks and that you embrace every human being. Good on you for doing something. I believe in you.

Did he say he forgot about what the Third Reich was? No. All he said was that "nazi" and "racist" just became buzzwords for anyone who deviated against the people on Twitter and in the media who want to shove extremist ideas down our throats.

Here in Europe we don't use that word nonchalantly.It has a very heavy weight here.

It would appear the Unironic Thought Nazi's have arrived.

 

They kinda did destroy Germany, the Soviets helped, a lot.

True but if the Nazis didn't start WII in Europe, Germany wouldn't have been ruined.

Here in America it's been overused to the point where it's no longer offensive and actually takes heat away from genuinely bad, extreme ideas on any side of the political sphere. 

Welcome to the world outside of Europe. Some offensive things take on completely different meanings in other places for various reasons.

I'd say that's somewhat debatable, Stalin definitely had delusions of conquest before WW2, IIRC.

It's become the go-to insult to discredit your political enemies without having to attack their argument. What's worse is that some people actually believe the accusations without any evidence or critical thought.

I live in Europe and here the term "Master Race" is commonly associated with Nazi Germany language

Try searching for the whole term, then maybe you'll find something actually related to the phrase...

You can pick apart nearly anything and make it seem bad. Here's a life tip: Stop doing that, you'll lead a much happier life.

Actual Europeans I can see and understand why the word Nazi would be offensive to many people in Europe.

Someone mark this as the solution, and lock the thread please.

LOL, what a bunch of BS. Master Race did not originate from Nazis.  OP needs to study more on history.  It was used over 3,000 years ago.

 

Everything in life is a repeat of something else.

I'm not sure of Life being a Repeat of everything else. After all where did the Idea of Space Travel come from? Or Alien Life?

OP, you are just over thinking things. Saying "Master Race" means nothing without context. Always try to think about the context. Ask, "Who is throwing around the word in their sentences?" Are they your everyday guy who just loves computers and is passionate about the hardware in them, or are they throwing up their arms and being rude to everyone who is different from them?
