Your Nazi example doesn't work. If you had said the only good German, is a dead German, then it would make sense. Being German is an inherent quality that the person had no say in. Being a Nazis was a choice of political affiliation. The vast majority of people who think the only good Nazi is dead one, are making a call based the person's actions, one that means they support a genocidal ideology. If you support genocide, you are too anti-social to be accepted into society.
It absolutely works because it's about holding onto an emotion, not a specific expression of that
No, it doesn't. Nazis are people choosing to believe in a genocidal ideology, people that believe their way want me dead, like it is part of their ideology that I should die. My sentiment that people who believe I should not be alive, are not tolerable, is not the same as someone hating the japanese people of today, because of trauma from WW2. .
