The Left loves to sling labels while ignoring functionality, and I find the case of “Nazi” especially ironic. The Nazis exploited the human tendency to blindly obey those who have credentials, authorization, and approval of authority, and that’s exactly how the Left is trying to manipulate the population:
“We have the credentials and authority to teach the children, we’re the professionals, not you, and you should trust the science and not question us. And if you do, we’ll take your kids.”
In this case, the Leftist Nazis are pitting the human tendency to follow authority against the primal parental instinct to protect children from predators.
There’s no guarantee, however, that the Left will succeed in that ploy, and the evidence is increasing that it’s failing. The Left is thus risking the violation of a fundamental principle of authority: never give an order you know won’t be obeyed. If the population rejects the Leftist manipulation, all of the authority and credibility and political capital the Left has staked on that manipulation will shatter.
(The Left may still attempt increasingly violent means to force compliance, but that’s not the same thing as manipulating compliance via the grandeur of authority and credentials.)
