So unlike NPC, which only appears in one specific context on the board (that I ever saw), the term "Nazi" is not easy to search for instances where it is being applied directly to a person. ChatNPC is a video game not released yet, but with a description on Steam: "Immerse yourself in ChatNPC, a retro pixel-art adventure where every conversation unlocks new stories."
Language that portrays people as animals or NPC has historically been used to incite violence. To me, such language on Shrewd'm is unacceptable. This language is not clever, it is evil. There are plenty of other ways to insult someone, and insults can even be done with wit as Churchill demonstrated.
Nazi history is being brought up because Trump is using it as a playbook to topple democracy.
The shooter may not be part of any wing, but might be a nihilistic violent extremist. Probably not, and the F.B.I. might let us know in court documents. The world is more complicated than just left and right. I have read that U.S. young adults are unhappy. Really unhappy. More depressed, more anxious, lonelier, and more likely to go to the hospital for self-inflicted injuries than in any previous decade. Old adults are busy insulting each other, leaving major problems for the next generation to solve, while the next generation watches anxiously, wondering where the world is heading, and what career paths will remain after the A.I. boom. Raising a teenager has gotten extremely challenging.

"In court documents, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) deployed a new term of art to describe Casap: “Nihilistic Violent Extremist.” It was only the second time such language had been used, indicating a potential sea change in how federal agencies conceptualize and investigate domestic terrorism cases."
