      What? I’m just saying that being racist or a murderer is totally unrelated to political views. Those can happen in both the left and right.

      Guys, you’re smarter than this. For real.

          I said it doesn’t matter if the Nazis were right wing or left wing, what matters is that they were criminals. Then that person said that mass murder and racism is only aligned with the right, so I showed him/her that that is wrong, murder and racism can also happen on the left.

          The point being that just because in the past there were rotten apples in the left/right, it doesn’t mean that being in the left/right makes you a rotten apple.

              Ok, so if it is important to keep awareness, why did people get triggered here when I pointed out that there have also been murderers, racists and dictators in the left? Is it fine to keep awareness only for the opposition?

              Keeping an eye on this is exactly the type of fear that the Republicans use to suppress the left. “A leftist president? Have you seen North Korea?”

              It’s just flawed logic.

              The only logic that has created the perfect conditions for racists in power is exactly this type of discrimination based on past examples.

            And you’re completely wrong. They absolutely were right wing, and teaching history accurately matters.

            The point being that just because in the past there were rotten apples in the left/right, it doesn’t mean that being in the left/right makes you a rotten apple.

            Except for one little thing: Republicans are calling for the eradication of vulnerable minorities and then pretending that they’re not acting like nazis and using the lie that nazis were left wing as justification.

              Exactly, Republicans are using a fallacy. That is my whole point. Even if Nazis were left-wing, it is totally irrelevant. Both left and right can behave like Nazis.

                Republicans, not the left, are currently calling for the eradication of vulnerable minorities. That’s nazi shit.

                Republicans are using a fallacy.

                Republicans are lying. They’re saying that Democrats are closer politically to nazis than they are, while they’re doin’ nazi shit.

                  Yes. Still, it is irrelevant if Nazis were left-wing or right-wing. Everyone knows Republicans always use fallacies in their arguments.

                  But you’re falling victims to their fallacies by trying to show that the left is not associated with Nazis. Who cares if the Nazis were left-wing!!! That is totally irrelevant. Stop playing their game. If the past associations are relevant, then they could use the communist card and show what the left has done in other countries before, like North Korea.

                  Stop playing their games.

                    I think it’s interesting that you keep saying this instead of “it’s irrelevant that nazis were right-wing.” You keep pretending that there’s doubt.

                    Republicans always use fallacies

                    You won’t even admit they’re lying.

                    EDIT: And you keep ignoring that they’re doin’ nazi shit.
