I think your conclusion is right but I think a more sound reasoning is that Zenz is plainly a christofascist and randint is defending Zenz by trying to argue that the Nazi sympathizing doesn’t influence the validity of other geopolitical claims. That definitionally makes him a fascist apologist.
Comment on My thoughts on Hexbear. Posting as the megathread was locked.
Nakoichi@hexbear.net 10 months agoI think I have made it pretty clear that while I condemn Zenz fatuous remarks on Nazis, I still believe that his observations about Xinjiang are not necessarily incorrect. However, numerous Hexbears gripped on to this point and repeatedly attacked and slandered me for defending Nazi apologia or outright claiming that I am a Nazi apologist.
I did not defend Nazi apologia or Nazi apologists.
They are literally lying to you. They are still defending a modern Nazi. By defending any of Zenz views on non-white people they are by definition doing Nazi apologia. The problem lies in that they had this pointed out and doubled down. I have plenty of critiques on China that aren’t really relevant here, because my opinion of China isn’t really on trial here. I am mostly concerned with the specific arguments and angle this user is coming at this with.
Much in the same way that there is a difference between someone criticizing George Soros for being a capitalist vs. Nazis who hate him because he is Jewish and wealthy.

nakoichi, i don’t care. i, too, read the post. i’m not taking sides in an argument between you and randint: i’m saying that i like hexbear and i dont’t want to defed them, and if randint doesn’t like you i’m advising him in how not to get drawn into an argument
