YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech - eviltoast

Obvious as it may sound, people with authoritarian beliefs hiding behind free speech actually consider it as a weakness akin empathy. It allows losers like them to amplify their reach despite not being in power. They abandon their “free speech absolutist” postures the moment they think they are in power.

    Obviously not, which doesn’t matter because the behavior isn’t unique to either group:

    It’s not even a Nazi thing, it’s a human thing.

    I thought that by stating that nice and clear in the beginning would prevent confusions like yours, but I forgot some people read something and instantly forget it.

      Just because you make an argument, doesn’t make it true. One is a group who came to power through hate and used that power in an attempt to exterminate political enemies, dissidents, and as everyone is well aware, the entirety of the Jewish population. The other is someone who got screwed over by our Healthcare system and decided to do something about it. Comparing the two and saying they are the same is either intentionally disingenuous, or just stupid.

        Mate…

        I “made an arguement” that it wasn’t just Nazis that did this …

        And used an example of people who were not Nazis doing it to show that …

        And you accused me of saying both groups are the same.

        After I literally said:

        Obviously the people saying “Luigi was right” and the Nazis are different.

        You felt the need to say almost verbatim the same thing back to me like it was something I didn’t know.

        There’s not an easier way to explain this, I’m sorry but I’m not helping you anymore.
