      The problem is you think anyone to the right of Stalin is a Nazi.

      Edit: I’m glad my manic commenting this morning sparked such wonderful debate.

        Many major gov’ts currently have major parties courting fascists or are just outright Fascist. Like, have you not been paying attention?

          And? Did I say that wasn’t happening? Believe it or not, refusing to engage in diplomacy doesn’t make the problem go away. And they say centrists bury their heads in the sand.

            “Centrists to fascists aren’t centrists”

            “You just label anyone as Fascist”

            “There’s a huge amount of fascists right now”

            “Irrelevant!”

            … what? I’m sorry, I can’t tell if you’re making a point or if you’re just reacting to comments as they come in. Cause that response made no sense in the greater context. I can’t even tell what point you’re trying to make at this point.

            “First they came for the socialists…”

            The moment someone courts Nazism or Fascism, diplomacy goes out the window for anyone worth being considered. There’s a reason the US doesn’t negotiate with terrorists, and that reason stands for fascists and other intolerant authoritarians or hate groups.

            For what it’s worth, I feel the same way about tankies. Anyone who would see me dead or censored by force does not get the right to compromise. The Republicans lost that right the moment the first innocent woman got locked in a cage post-Dobbs, if not pre-Roe in the first place.
