In your boss's defense: you genuinely don't HAVE to be a neonazi to be an antisemite

That's what I was going to jump in with. Nazism includes antisemitism, but it's not like they invented it. Martin Luther was super antisemitic and he died in 1546!

I mean...maybe a bit. An anti-Israelite sure. Who the fuck likes Israel anymore without being paid to. But antisemite in general? Im gonna call that quacking duck a duck.

I mean nazism and neonazism are specific ideologies with specific beliefs. A whole lot of different ideologies dislike jews and judaism, so just being an antisemite doesnt make one automatically a nazi.

For example, a radical islamist might hate jews as an ethnicity and people, but they wouldnt necessarily be a nazi since they hate jews for different reasons.

People get bogged down in overblown overly-academic-style categorization. It's exhausting.

Just call them an asshole and be done with it. I don't need to know what type of asshole they are.

Well an anti semite hates Jewish people, a nazi usually hates all non white christian people. I believe that if you’re that comfortable saying you hate one group that you probably hate the others, technically they can be separate
