Nina spitting truths as always. She’s on fire recently, so follow her if you’re not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let’s refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says “the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed.”

“They’ll just find someone else.”

Then let them. “I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else” was not a good defense in court last time, and it won’t be this time either.

    You don’t know what bad faith means, beyond people disagreeing with you.

    Staying within the US, there’s a lot of Confederates who should have been hanged, but if you applied that to everyone who could be called a Confederate, you’d be describing a genocide. You can condemn people for not resisting their intolerable circumstances - but it’s not the same manner of moral failing as deliberately creating those circumstances.

    Otherwise, how much of an asshole are you for participating in capitalism?

      I won’t answer your questions until you answer mine. More bad faith.

      I notice you just learned that Hitler and his toilet cleaner are remembered differently and have dropped the point. This a common tactic among bad actors

      Talking past you again until how you learn to have a discussion We remember the people that worked with/for the Confederates as: Confederates. The post is about how history remembers people that work for/with evil. We remember them as evil. Don’t want to be remembered as evil? Don’t work for/with evil.

      How many times has this person heard this? Here they try to reframe it as Confederates but it’s still true that history remembers them as Confederates.

      Will you try again?

          This is also bad faith. They can’t handle the points so they just insult and leave pretending they achieved anything at all.

          We remember the people that worked with/for Nazis as Nazis. They haven’t and can’t demonstrate differently.

          We remember the people the people that worked with/for the Confederates (their chosen comparison) as Confederates. They haven’t and can’t demonstrate differently.

          Twice history has tried to teach them this lesson. Twice they ignored it. Don’t wan’t to be lumped in with the MAGA shit, don’t work with/for MAGA.

          This person may march you to a camp because their personal philosophy says they aren’t as bad as the person shoving you in the oven.

            Okay, capitalist. Perpetuating the system of wage labor you exist within.

            Apparently there’s no distinction between you and Elon Musk.

              They can’t even be trusted to leave when they said they would. Good day?

              Does Elon musk have a wiki? Do I?

              History remembers Hitler specifically. In the wiki article I provided, and you haven’t read, Adolf Hitler has his own link his toilet cleaner does not.

              They can’t be trusted to learn lessons taught to them mere hours ago.

              Here they are trying to engage in a slap fight. All premise of discussion abandoned. The post abandoned. History still remembers the people that worked for/with Nazis as Nazis. They still haven’t demonstrated anything to the contrary

                You’re right, I should have just blocked you when it was clear you embody the bad faith you keep projecting. If continuing the conversation on your own terms is inherently a failure then nobody should bother speaking to you.

                  Notice still nothing here.

                  People that worked for/with Nazis still remembered as Nazis.

                  People that worked for/with Confederates still Confederates.

                  If continuing the conversation on your own terms is inherently a failure then nobody should bother speaking to you.

                  My own terms was the premise of the post. People working for/with Nazis are remembered as nazis. As evidence I provided a wiki. They never once engaged with that. Never once engaged “on my terms”. Which is why they struggled so much, every distraction they attempted including an attempt at a slap fight, I just redirected them to the premise they ignored.

                  They said good day several comments ago. Why are they still here.


                  Talking to you now. You can state I argue in bad faith all you want, I demonstrated that you do. Please have a think about what happened here, later, I know you won’t admit anything to me. You tried to nuance the Nazis, who does that? I didn’t let you distract me, and that sucked for you. Every time I kept repeating the core point you ignored: people that worked for/with Nazis are just remembered as Nazis, please learn the lesson history is teaching you. Then you brought up the confederates, only to find out we remember the people that work for/with the confederates as confederates, please learn the lesson history is teaching you. Please, for the love of anything your personal philosophy will allow you to believe in, learn the lesson history is teaching you.

                  Here’s what I think I should have done differently: explicitly stated that not only does history remember Hitler and his toilet cleaner differently, but I do too. I thought I made that clear with

                  History remembers Hitler specifically. In the wiki article I provided, and you haven’t read, Adolf Hitler has his own link his toilet cleaner does not.

                  but I could have been more explicit. I addressed or thought I addressed the core of your argument. But you proceeded as if I hadn’t, I should have reacted to that. Hitler and his toilet cleaner are not morally the same. Still a nazi though
