    I’m sorry, I just assumed that was why you were equating communists and Nazis.

    Why were you doing that?

        If you wanna understand why it’s a bad idea to compare Nazis and communists that way, answer the following succinctly and quickly:

        Why is it bad to lump with Nazis?

            Surely you can’t expect me to believe you meant no comparison between two opposed political views when you invoked one in response to another?

            Not after you said you won’t respond to my question because you can’t tell if I’m in good faith!

            Why, a person would almost see you as some kind of troll if they didn’t know better!

            I’ll tell you what, you set the rules for what constitutes good faith engagement and I’ll either abide by them or explain why I can’t and head on.

                You can always not post a response if you’re bored.

                Even without English as your first language, surely you can see how bringing up the behavior and perception of Nazis and Nazi spaces in response to a person in a communist space would be seen as a comparison because of how those two groups stood in opposition to each other?

                If something feels cringey to you why not just not do it? You brought up good faith, not me.

                I am genuinely interested in helping you understand how bringing up people who accept Nazis being lumped in with Nazis invites a comparison no matter who you use it in relation to.

                    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.
