I could make an actual educated argument on how that's literally not true, but it'd go into sophistry. Still, I definitely could.
No, it isn't. It's exaggerated rhetoric and a very appropriate response to legitimate Nazism.
What YOU are doing is what lead to the Nazis in the first place. Thinking you can reason with Nazis. 20th century Germany had people who basically were forced to be a Nazi, no matter their personal ideologies. It's understandable, but it's not acceptable. And it's very different having been in the party when the Nazis were in rule and voluntarily choosing to be one in modern times. Choosing to become a Nazi is so much worse than being somewhat afraid in Germany in 1942, and joining out of fear for your life.
We know we're purposefully exaggerating when we say Nazis aren't people, and we know it. Nazis do not exaggerate with their calls to white supremacy.
So the appropriate reply to Nazism is to utterly dehumanise and shame them, as much as humanly possible.
