    There’s a saying… “If there are ten people sitting at a table eating dinner, and one of them is a nazi, you’ve got ten nazis.”

      That logic leads to infinite nazi generation.

      And to some incongruencies.

      What happens if there’s 10 person in the table, one is nazi and one is antifa. Are them all nazis? Are them all antifascist?

      It doesn’t seem like good logic to me.

        There’s a related saying: all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

        Now, I don’t typically like that saying as a GENERAL aphorism applied to everything, but when applied to nazis? It absolutely applies.

        The reason there’s 10 nazis at the table is because the other 9 are tolerating the nazi. And tolerating a Nazi is tantamount to collaboration. All they need is tolerance to themselves, and they’ll take that and use it to not tolerate the rest of the world (see: paradox of tolerance).

          As said. If you strictly follow that logic you would probably be a nazi too.

          What browser do you use?

          Unless you are doing curl to browse the internet you are using either chromium based of firefox based. By that logic of yours you are endorsing nazis, thus making you a nazi.

          At then end you are basically saying that all the world population are basically nazis. How many people have pick up a rifle to end Trump? Have you? No? Then, by what you just said you are nazi.

          As you see is completely illogical.

          Once thing are nazis, and other thing is people thar doesn’t fight nazis with all they have. They are two separate groups. And most of us are in the second group.

        If that antifascist is sitting at that table, saying and doing nothing about the fascist, they’re not antifascist.

        You do not tolerate fascists.
