    Look, I’m not going to sit here and list off everything I think is acceptable. The only thing I said we shouldn’t be doing is dehumanizing by killing them for existing. Literally all of the replies stemming from that was because people took issue with that stance.

    You yourself took that to mean I was defending them. Others took it to mean I was simping. Others took it to mean we should be tolerant of them (despite literally saying the opposite >.>)

    Admittedly, some legitimately take issue with the idea that Nazis are humans. But at least those people are actually taking issue with a point I was making.

      When you only list the things that are unacceptable to say about Nazis, then it’s a blanket defense. No matter how much you insist it’s not. This lack of care is the reason so many people have rightfully jumped down your throat. You seem well meaning, but your words are careless.

      But at least those people are actually taking issue with a point I was making.

      As I have explained, it’s a difference without distinction. It’s by definition impossible to scold those who speak against Nazis without defending Nazis. You’re trying to have it both ways. If you truly do not wish to defend Nazis, then I implore you to be more considerate with your criticism. Because what you’ve been saying thus far has historically been a shield that fascist hide behind.

        You’re not going to convince me that killing people for existing is the answer.

        I’ve already said violence can be the answer depending on the situation, but a blanket “it’s fine to kill them in every situation” is way too far.

          Correct, I won’t get you to say, think or do a single thing. Internet conversations don’t produce change like that. That was never a realistic outcome nor my goal. I’m not asking you to do, say or think a single thing.

          I am trying to PREVENT you from repeating dangerous nonsense like paradox of tolerance in threads about bigots attacking a minority group.

          This

          I’m not saying tolerate them, I’m saying dehumanization of any human isn’t acceptable.

          does not negate

          It’s kinda fucked that the reason y’all wanna dehumanize them is because they dehumanize others.

          It’s a dangerous false equivalence that was extensively linked to you because of how Nazis use the thought terminating cliche to provide themselves cover. You’re giving them the cover for free. Stop. Just stop. All I ask.
