Wannabe nazi's are the hopeless ones and also the ones resembling Gravy Seals and Meal Team 6.
What is a Nazi?

Same the correct term is Neo Nazis but if you call them Nazis not gonna argue.
Wannabe Nazi is probably some young probably an edgelord and thinks waving the swastika is awesome but otherwise has very little ideological conviction.
Or might be a glorified troll, shock value etc.

The name is good, we can use nazi when they want the elimination of the perceived lessers through the machine of society. It’s about how to describe it to those who aren’t seeing it.

Oh here they're calling a left wing government Nazis because off lockdowns and restrictions. Jacinda Hitler rolls off the tongue.
It's essentially shorthand now for rules I don't like.

The DM's word is law. If the players don't like it, they can politely negotiate a rule change and accept the outcome, or they can find another campaign. I've played in campaigns where the DM did not allow pre-rolls (which came about because one player kept cheating and the rest of us got fed up with it). One of my campaigns drew objections from one player when I told her that clerics were restricted to non-current deities (she wanted Jesus and that's not anywhere I want to go in a D&D campaign; unless the entire group is Christian and agrees, using RL-worshipped religious figures is a recipe for arguments that can torpedo a campaign thisfast). I told her she could have her pick from anyone in the Deities & Demigods manual that would be closest to her stated alignment and closest to what she wanted her character's spiritual beliefs to embody. She accepted this.
Besides, I think most DMs tweak the rules to their personal campaigns, at least somewhat. I added a few elements of Fighting Fantasy to mine, and tweaked a few other things as well. The rule tweaks are usually accepted if the DM has a reasonable explanation that goes beyond "because I said so."
I never claimed that Canada would be instituting death camps (though the Canadian government did round up the Japanese-Canadians in WWII and force them into internment camps). But there are a hell of a lot of anti-vaxxers who carry on as though this is the intention.
Trudeau should not have gone on vacation to BC period, never mind the timing of it, which was entirely inappropriate. Yes, he has been remarkably tone deaf on many issues.
One thing I should mention about reconciliation here: September 30 is not a stat holiday across the country. Some provinces observe it, while others don't. There's no country-wide policy about it, and there needs to be. But to be fair, even the indigenous people themselves can't agree on whether it should be a day off or a day when the schools should have special classes about it.

It's the same thing. It's essentially anti authority so the authority gets called fascist.
Canada and NZ are probably the most liberal of the UK derived "white" nations.
Say a conservative party ran on a platform of the great leap back to the 1970s in respects to LGBTQ rights. They win the election and actually pass the law.
That doesn't make them fascist, doesn't even make them authoritarian (you can vote them out).
Crap thing to do though but yeah. You can find some things that are similar I suppose if you look hard enough in the democracies but that usually boils down to whataboutisms.

New players and online often want to play whatever. I run themed games the players pick the theme. Last two years were Drow and Ancient Egypt themed.
Even if they pick the theme, the DM's word is still law. That's something that was thoroughly drummed into me in the 1st and 2nd ed. manuals and years of reading Dragon Magazine, not to mention the sourcebooks for the Fighting Fantasy game (started out as solo gamebooks but eventually expanded to multi-player games).
Ancient Egypt would be a cool theme.

Well the Egypt thing was a campaign setting world so I limited the choices to what was available locally.
Which makes perfect sense.

It was fantasy nearby included dragonborn, not Egypt Dwarves, Minotaurs plus others.

The Confederates were Nazis before the Nazis

I’m curious as to how you think this adds to the discussion. I don’t mean that as a provocative or cutting remark meant to devalue your post, I’m not getting to where adding this is useful in any way to you.
My inference, and correct me if I’m wrong on it—is that the basis is slavery, so would the Romans qualify as Nazis? The Egyptians? Aztecs? Mongols? Arabs? Dutch? Portuguese? What would separate some of them from the Confederates?

Play with me.
Perhaps, but it was the British who invented the concentration camp.
The Romans did not enslave people based on race or religion. They had other criteria.

Confederates weren't Nazi.
Slavery was more or less the default in most of the world at one point.

Slavery is still going on. It's just called by other labels.
