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.
