If you get the Hitler comment enough, maybe look at yourself instead. I only see it popping up when someone is leaning faschist, which is very often

That. It's funny, but I get in a lot of disagreements online, and very rarely does someone call me Hitler or a Nazi or what not.

As the saying goes, if five people call you an ass, buy a saddle.

Literally the only time it's happened to me is on here (or MAGA, rather) from liberals pretending to be leftists because they don't know what words mean and think criticizing Biden is supporting Trump.

That sounds like something Hitler would say. Well, maybe not, but I bet you're a vegetarian. Like Hitler. Or have a dog. Like Hitler. Or are dead. Like Hitler.

Say what you will about internet atheists, I don't think they go around saying everything is religion. They usually just, you know, criticize religion.

I guess what they do is the opposite. They say "religion" when they're really just taking about Christianity.

This used to hold broad cultural applicability, back in the Before Times when the "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" crowd was still excluded from the political mainstream. Norms excluding out-and-proud ethnofascists from official, public participation in the English-speaking political right started to seriously slip around the time of Obama's election and certainly ceased to exist after Trump's win in 2016, but prior to that time "Nazi" was very much more often an ad-hominem attack than an accurate description of somebody's politics.

I just want to know how awful ettyblatant's take was that they tried 3 times and deleted them all before just giving up 😄

This. I experienced Redditors calling me “Nazi”, after I posted a pic to Reddit’s “bald”. They failed to realize that Hitler never shaved his head; he shaved the heads of his prisoners. I tried explaining this to people, and reassured them that my grandparents served on the side of the Allies, during WW2. I still have people who have stalked my profile all the way to Lemmy, perhaps even doxing me, to continue their harassment. I’m not even German, or male, and I get bombarded with commenters accusing me of being a male “Nazi”. Not even “neo-Nazi”. They keep specifically referencing Germany and WW2, and like I said, I’m not even German by dna.

And then when you call out an actual Nazi it won't mean shit

One of the two major political parties in the US definitely has big and loud fascist tendencies, expressed explicitly and often, in both words and actions. And they are proud of it. If anyone cut off any possibility of dialogue, slapped away an outstretched hand over and over again, will try and muddy any and all arguments in bad faith, it's that political party and its' voters/supporters.

[so much sarcasm]

Considering current (2016 + era) sentiment, may want to change that to those Antifa brigands.

back to the true true...
