"It's not my fault I'm a Nazi, I had to become one to fight the government from cracking down on Nazis."
- vorpalhex 4y agoOne of the Nazi propaganda moves was to align Jewish people with pedophiles. "Well obviously pedophiles are bad. You wouldn't defend a pedophile! Unless.. you are a pedophile?" Of course you are going to label your opponent in unfavorable terms. But here's the thing - why do you need to? If your opponent is actually a murderer, you don't need to talk them up as a Sig Heiling murderer who hates gay people. You can just be truthful and call them a murderer. If the only offense you have is to slander your opponent... you might be making up the outrage.
- cloverich 4y agoI think you are saying it is bad to equate some undesireable behavior with nazism, because its equivalent to he nazi's equating Jews with Pedophiles, then labeling people as pedophiles to push an agenda. If that's right I think its also relevant in this case the person's tweet was of an actual swastika.
- vorpalhex 4y agoIs Wikipedia a Nazi organization for having swastikas depicted on their entry? Clearly the meme was not pro-Nazi.
- undersuit 4y agoAre we Nazis for talking about swastikas? What was the meme. Context is key to understanding complex thoughts, even ugly bigoted ones, I'm concerned that you aren't including it. Lawrence Fox is not an LGBT ally in any way, and his tweet and the retweet of this news story were not funny, they were attacks. 'Haha so funny, it's not pro-Nazi, it's just saying other people are Nazis.'
- cloverich 4y agoThey are equating something they do not agree with to Nazism. That is why they posted a swastika. People are in turn labeling the person posting the tweet as the Nazi because they seem to "act like a Nazi". The tactic they are using... in your own words is a Nazi tactic.
- the_only_law 4y ago> One of the Nazi propaganda moves was to align Jewish people with pedophiles. Ah yes, classic strategies never die.

- undersuit 4y agoIf you don't want to be compared to a Nazi don't constantly use Nazi symbolism.
