      I don’t even know what your point is.

      Okay, let me try and help. You said this:

      If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn’t mean we’re all Nazzis.

      Now, we’re going to count many examples you used to illustrate your point:

      I counted one, and this was it right here:

      If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn’t mean we’re all Nazzis.

      Using a single example to make a point of comparison is dumb. Because one could just as easily say that I breathe air, and similarly, so do hamsters, therefore- I must be a hamster.

      Demonstrably, this is untrue. And it’s a dumb argument to make. And it’s not the argument I made. I simply said that calling upon a similarity shared with Nazis isn’t going to make the point one would probably wish to make.

      (And the plural of Nazi is “Nazis.” Don’t be afraid to spell their name correctly. It’s not for the purpose of showing respect to them, it’s showing respect to the person that has to read what you’re saying)

          You’re really hung up on the debate bro argumentation

          NO IM NOT!

          and seem to be intentionally missing the point everyone is trying to convey to you.

          Which is?

          Get over yourself man.

          Done!

          No one is giving you a hand job for your superior intellectual acumen.

          Well now that’s fucking disappointing. I thought for sure there’d be some kind of reward for having to deal with some random’s little White Knight complex. I mean, you barged in here to the defense when you weren’t even called upon! Should I have just conceded right there and fed your horse for you?

          Debate bro indeed.

            No man there is no white knight complex. Again, with the weird labels.

            However, there is a weird fixation with users on this platform unable to engage with a topic without having to categorize and label whoever they are engaging with.

            For instance: Someone pointed out an extremely neutral fact and it went straight to “well you’re a nazi”. It’s kinda sad and ultimately I just question what even is the point of discussing anything on this platform when it will always escalate within 1-2 comments to boxing someone into some kind of ad hominem or label the way you did?
