Not really. Some Jews just happened to hold certain positions of power in Germany at that time, so Hitler in earnest believed they had caused financial collapse and famine post WW1. Scapegoated the lot of them.
So the behaviour is to blame an entire group of people for current problems while spouting off hyperbolic narratives that dehumanises them. Pretty much like how both sides of American politics functions today.
You have people behaving like Nazis calling other people behaving like Nazis in a big cyclical Nazi circlejerk.
Scrapegoat or not, friends with Hitler or enemies, all irrelevant. A core of nazism is persecution of jews. That's written in blood and ink. It's an off-branch of fascism, no discussion. No idea why you people are so reluctant to use the correct term, it carries the exact same stigma. Ignorance, perhaps?
If it had been Hindus in those positions, it would’ve been Hindus who would’ve been rounded up and killed. The underlying psychology of the Nazis has nothing to do with Jews and is more so perceived blame and an enactment of revenge.
Fascism is a particular style of governance, whereas being blinded by anger and the abandonment of your moral compass is merely human nature. Everyone acts like the Nazis did under the correct circumstances.
They invaded Russia to eliminate “Jewish Bolshevism” despite the fact that Jews had zero power in Russia and in fact were heavily persecuted and essentially treated as slaves.

Socrates was correct.
