We're talking about people who follow Nazi ideology and propaganda. So yes they're Nazi's. Not all fascists are Nazi's, but all Nazi's are fascists, so thats probably why it gets thrown around a lot. but in this case sounds like they are talking about actual Nazi's.... If you are confused about why people don't distinguish war crimes with an entire race of people vs an ideology that continues to commit crimes, it's because that's racist. If you're unsure of what racism is and trying to defend Nazis... You might be a Nazi piece of shit? Can I help you with any other questions?

It’s interesting how the term “Nazi” is universally used these days to universally describe awfulness.

If it’s looked at objectively, the Nazi party was a political movement, that did awful things during a period of time.

If one were to look at the Japanese, raping Chinese women and injecting them with syphilis to observe the effects on the infant, or conducting experimental surgeries on conscious allied POWs…maybe “Jap scum” just doesn’t have the same ring as “Nazi scum.”

The Christianization of Europe is a whole new can of worms. However, “French scum” just doesn’t do it for some people, ironically.

It's normal and happens all the time. You have to have permanently stopped driving the "old" car the plates are coming off of, eg, you sold it.

The registration fee is $35, and agent fee $4, but this isn't the lion's share of what you pay. You can see the fee breakdown on your yellow registration paper.

Excise tax is the lion's share of most registrations. If you have a lot of time on your plates before they expire, it'll be worth it. If you try "shenanigans" like moving some plates with a few months left on them to cover ones that expired, the town's demand for an excise tax will thwart you.

It's not a nuisance-- they're paid to do this, and the agent fee is the payment. You can save the $4 by doing it at the DMV but you'd have to be mad to wait in line.

What exactly are you trying to do?
