    The post says “anyone saying that you shouldn’t call a Nazi to those who disagree with you means they are by extension Nazis”

    No it doesn’t say that. Maybe you’re not overthinking it enough. I’ll walk through the proof referring to the numbering in the post. The post is saying: "anyone is probably a Nazi(3), who’s saying that you shouldn’t call everyone you disagree with a Nazi(2), if they are saying it in the following special context: they are saying it, even though you didn’t do that at all! Not even remotely. You simply made an obvious statement about real genuine actual Nazis in general being bad(1), but they somehow took offence to what should be the most uncontroversial statement ever(1) and came out and created a strawman to attack you for something you didn’t do(2). Simply because they don’t like the one thing they know about you: that you don’t like Nazis(1). Now why might that be? Well probably because they are a Nazi(3). qed



  • Don’t call everyone you disagree with Hitler, simply because they are named Adolf Hitler and were the leader of the German “Third Reich”, committed genocide and started a world war. So quick with the name calling, really /s (calling things by their true name, that is)

    US soldiers in Iraq didn’t just steal with impunity and without any shame, they didn’t just fight an unjust and murderous war against an innocent population based on nothing but lies, they also ran well organized rings for child kidnapping, rape and sexual slavery for twenty years on multiple US bases.

    Yes, Dracula lived in a castle because he was a landlord. But all classic vampires in literature are in a sense. Originally, in oral history and folk takes, vampires were more about fear of sickness and about not understanding how diseases spread. But later, literary Vampires were a standin for the universal experience of how landlords are bloodsucking pests. Take Dracula: the protagonist is a solicitor who comes to Transylvania to help the vampire buy land and various properties in England. Then the plot revolves around preventing his moving to England, but the heroes fail at that, because he has prepared to well, is just too rich and has filled out all the legal paperwork.
