If you get the Hitler comment enough, maybe look at yourself instead. I only see it popping up when someone is leaning faschist, which is very often

That. It’s funny, but I get in a lot of disagreements online, and very rarely does someone call me Hitler or a Nazi or what not.

As the saying goes, if five people call you an ass, buy a saddle.

Literally the only time it’s happened to me is on here (or MAGA, rather) from liberals pretending to be leftists because they don’t know what words mean and think criticizing Biden is supporting Trump.

If someone calls you Hitler, call them Mao, Stalin or Netanyahu or one of the other ancient people.

That sounds like something Hitler would say. Well, maybe not, but I bet you’re a vegetarian. Like Hitler. Or have a dog. Like Hitler. Or are dead. Like Hitler.

Right? Plenty of people don’t like me and I’ve never been called Hitler/fascist.

Say what you will about internet atheists, I don’t think they go around saying everything is religion. They usually just, you know, criticize religion.

I guess what they do is the opposite. They say “religion” when they’re really just taking about Christianity.

This used to hold broad cultural applicability, back in the Before Times when the “Hitler Did Nothing Wrong” crowd was still excluded from the political mainstream. Norms excluding out-and-proud ethnofascists from official, public participation in the English-speaking political right started to seriously slip around the time of Obama’s election and certainly ceased to exist after Trump’s win in 2016, but prior to that time “Nazi” was very much more often an ad-hominem attack than an accurate description of somebody’s politics.
