The problem that I see with you asking that is it invites an unnecessary criticism. I remember seeing a post on chapotraphouse years ago on methods of how to 'dunk on' people and this is one way.
I used nazis as an easy comparison because everyone and their grandma does it now. Tou see a nazi associating with nazis and bada bing they are a nazi. For some reason, its not as easy to say the a communist sitting at a table with all his communist friends talking about how good communism is not wanting to be considered a communist is weird. You are deflecting the main point when you ask me if I think lumping nazis is bad, thats not the point. Im like exhausted just thinking how to spoon feed you this idea that you are slowly brainwashing yourself if you let this stuff go.
Who decides if a criticism is unnecessary? We’re ten responses deep. No one’s gonna see even if I did somehow turn this into a “dunk”.
I’m really trying to help you understand what’s going on in the Nazi table saying.
“If there’s ten people at a table and six are wearing ss uniforms, how many Nazis are there at the table? The answer is ten.”
The specific counts change but people say this because there’s something so abhorrent about naziism that just accepting them into your company requires that you assent to their awful actions and ideology.
What awful actions and ideology? Why white supremacy and genocide of course!
So when someone says the same thing but points it at communists the implication is that communists are just as bigoted and genocidal as Nazis, which is what the antisemitic double genocide theory states.
You’re saying you didn’t mean it like that and I believe you. It’s just important to understand.
You should be making fun of that person for being too scared to own their proud communism, but you can’t use the Nazis at the table analogy.
