- jolj 3y agoI was not comparing them, and I think this is dishonest to read my comment that way. I was giving an example of the way democracies around the world restrict free speech in order to defend other rights This is quite popular in europe and is a result of lesson learned from the nazis
- arp242 3y agoThis entire thread started with me saying pretty much the same thing, and using Nazi Germany as an example absolutely implies some form of comparison, especially in a discussion about what specifically Al Jazeera may or may not have done wrong. You can't demand careful language usage from others (in e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40090402 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40090402 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40088873 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40088873) and at the same time carelessly throw around stuff yourself. Well, you can. You're allowed. But at that point I decide to stop engaging. So good day to you.
