Using the N-word has been embedded in society as a slur that can allow any response. In fact, it's the method some use in a lie to say "well the reason I assaulted/killed him is he called me the N-word". It could be complete B.S and most of the time surely is, but some might say "well he deserved it". Absurd as such a response is to a word, some justify it as it is ingrained in culture.
I believe it's time to start applying the same standard to calling people Hitler. It's the most egregious term to refer to someone and clearly most don't understand history or they would be ashamed and disgusted with themselves for applying that name to anyone.
Even Stalin or Mussolini is more acceptable because as much as they were both horrible people, one reigning in fascism (that greatly influenced Hitler), the other bringing in a police state, tyrant leadership, neither of them invoked an industrial approach to genocide of a people, unparalleled in history and well recorded unlike any events in history. Moreso, neither of them began a war that ended in 80+ million deaths.
It's time to put an end to the damn name Hitler as a slur. If someone calls someone that, it should receive recoiling in society. I'm tired of hearing the false equivalency by the least informed people on earth who make the comparison. I don't care who they call this term, it has to be ended. The fact that politicians and media have used the term illustrates just how vile and unimpressive society has become. Almost using the Obama playbook for his re-election, "call them racists!".
As an aside, a direct name calling of nazi should be in a similar category. Yes, it's an easy and lazy way to describe the stormtrooper hatred of Judaism and humanity, but the nazis ended in 1945. Most of the former members are dead, some quite long ago.
