      You’re just gonna skip all the parts of my many comments where I repeatedly call Hitler and the Nazis fucking awful horrible people?

      Literally that entire conversation was about how you people are incapable of having any nuance whatsoever. Hitler was a terrible person who also did a very small number of things that ended up being good for Germany in the long run. Jesus Christ y’all are dense as fuck.

        I read the whole conversation, including the bits where you got mad at the other person for their source not being good enough, and then also their other sources for being in German, while providing literally zero sources of your own.

        I even agree Hitler did, very occasionally and often for bad reasons, do a couple of actually good things. Like arming Ethiopia against the Italians. But nobody asked you to use Hitler as an example and the question absolutely did not require it. Fucking hell you could have even picked Winston Churchill deciding to lead the fight againt the Nazis, he was a Conservative. I’m bringing it up because I think it illustrates that maybe your judgement on anything about the Nazis isn’t that reliable

          Yeah, but his dad has a history degree (and probably like 6 black belts) so check-mate.

            He’s about the least athletic person in the universe. Mans was built for a lazy boy and a Martini while listening to smooth jazz.

          Clearly you didn’t read the whole fuckin thing because I DID mention Churchill in one of the earlier comments.

          The WHOLE reason I even mentioned Hitler in the first place was to prove my point that even terrible reprehensible people sometimes do things that end up being good for the world. I figured I’ll use one of the most hated individuals in human history as an example because everyone knows who he is and what he did. In NO way am I a Nazi supporter or sympathiser. My grandfather smuggled Jews out of Germany as a kid. My extended family on one side is all Germans and they made sure to teach all their children and children’s children the evil of Hitler and the Nazis so we would never repeat it.

          I refuse to bend a knee to the insane intolerant left and their ludicrous hive mind.

          For the record I ALSO refuse to take any part in the religious nutjobs over on the other side either.

          I know I am not a Nazi. I will continue to stand my ground and say what I believe to be right even if it rubs you lot the wrong way.

          Have a good day.

          Good lord you people are fuckin insane.

            Blah blah, you’re still in this thread apologizing for what everyone with eyes knows was a blatant fascist dogwhistle. You can rationalize all you want, but these actions are all supportive of fascists.

              Not in support of fascist. Never have and never will.

              Never apologized on behalf of them. No dog whistle.

              You guys can all keep saying whatever you want about me, but I know what I am about. Screaming it louder and getting all your friends to scream it with you won’t make it any more true.

              You guys have completely lost any and all ability to critically think about things. You just see what the hive mind starts saying and then you lock in and repeat it forever never stopping to think about anything for yourself.

        Maybe we don’t need to make concessions on behalf of fucking Hitler when we’re dealing with the actual return of fascism on a world scale. A real ‘read the room’ kind of thing.

        And here you are, unable to read the room and getting gaslit by the Nazis into thinking that a Nazi salute wasn’t a Nazi salute. GTFO.

        I hope your carbon is recycled into something more beneficial to the world someday. Like an apricot, maybe.

          That’s gotta be the nicest “kill yourself” I’ve ever gotten. Though I’m not a big apricot kinda guy. Can I be a watermelon or avocado tree instead? I fuckin love watermelons and avocado. Not necessarily together, but you get what I mean.

            Not to pile on, but there is actually a service where you can pick which tree you fertilize, my sister has it in her will that she wants to grow her favorite tree when she dies. Hopefully that service is still around at that point.

              My family has been given explicit instructions to spread my ashes anywhere it’s illegal to do so. I just wanna break one last law on my way out ya know?

              I suppose a tree is more constructive. Knowing my little sister she would probably put me into a tree anyway lol.
