Tenuous connection between unrelated topics to fit them into larger ingroup/outgroup dynamics is the junkfood of persuasion tactics. Bad for you but addictive anyway. If you look for it you'll see it all the time.

"If you don't like AI, you're a nazi."
And remember: they don't call you a nazi because they think you are. They call you a nazi to make you a valid target.
Are there many cases where calling someone a Nazi - especially powerful people - actually did something to their lives? Ruin their careers, ruin them financially, led to their family breaking up?
Trump has had how many assassination attempts now? The attempt in Pennsylvania killed an innocent bystander, a father, in the crowd.

Charlie Kirk was called Nazi by many and eventually shot dead in front of his children.

So yes, unfortunately.
