Comment on The left are officially full blown nazis now.

They have to embody the ideals they hate towards another group.
Look, it’s fine. I get that it’s hard to understand. That’s part of the appeal of the original article, where it redirects you back to the historical meaning of the swastika and insists that it’s meaning is fixed.

No true scottsman, I get it. Ambushing police officers and murdering them doesn’t count as hate, ambushing black nantionalists and murdering them doesn’t count as hate, pouring boiling water on a person doesn’t count as hate.

No, all of that definitely counts as hate.
It doesn’t count as black supremacist hate. So, yeah “no true scottsman”, but the entire argument hinges on what a nazi/white supremacist is. It’s not a fallacy in this case. Because there’s a difference between hate generally and a specific kind of hate.

Are you one of those liberals that thinks black people can’t be racists.
Ambushing white police officers certainly sounds racists, black nantionalism was part of the black panthers that’s certainly a racists movement.

You have to have power to be racist. It’s like newspeak. You change the definition of words to hit your agenda.
