Dibbix@lemmy.world 8 months agoWhich part is confusing you? You seem well acquainted with Nazism so I’ll assume it’s the “second hand” part.
A definition of ‘second hand’ is ‘indirect’ or ‘from an intermediate source’. Ergo, in my comment i meant they would be getting talking points from people who don’t think they’re Nazis but converse frequently with Nazis.
Does that clear it up for you?

I’m not acquainted with Nazism.
Why would you think conversing with Nazis makes people spread their talking points to others?

Just gonna pretend that the rest of the thread doesn’t exist, are you?
We’re talking about the high number of neo-nazis on Gab and their influence on Gab in general. Could someone have a conversation with a Nazi about the weather? Maybe, but the odds of the phrase “Jewish space lasers” coming up is significantly higher than in a conversation with someone who isn’t a Nazi.
But to be clear, i did not say “conversing with Nazis makes people spread their talking points to others”. I said they would be getting talking points from Nazis. Nothing is “making” people spread Nazism.

You assumed that I’m a Nazi based on the fact that I support everyone having a right to express their opinion. (Which actual Nazis don’t, by the way, making this reasoning even more absurd.)

Now you’ve crossed from being disingenuous into outright lying.
I did not assume you’re a Nazi, i said “you seem well acquainted with Nazism” which, based on your eagerness to defend them, is accurate.
You have not once expressed that you “support everyone having a right to express their opinion” in this thread, nor even in this post. You’ve merely attempted to employ the Socratic method (rather clumsily) to excuse Nazism.
When you’re done pretending you’re the victim here and you’re ready to have a genuine conversation let me know.
