No. I’m just fascinated how some folks want to change the rules when things don’t go their way.

It was only a matter of time till this discuss devolved to this.
Please explain how this sort of rhetoric isn't like what I've heard from the left directed to Trump voters.
And for extra credit, please explain how it's helpful.
I agree it's none of your business but you referred to me as a leftist, Then you threw half a biblical quote at me. "casting pearls before the swine" is a term that means smart people shouldn't waste their incredible knowledge on dumb people.That's none of my business and I never called you any names. You need to take a step back and a cup of tea would be helpful. Casting pearls is another term for wasting time.
Let's just leave my German heritage out this, shall we?As long as the 1st amendment exists and the left hasn't completely destroyed it there is nothing wrong with making any comparisons to anything that one wants.
Don't act like anything is taboo just because the comparison is uncomfortable for you.
That is exactly what I was thinking. They may want some progressive utopia, but I do not think it is a Communist society.Curious. With respect to the big money behind the bat **** crazy leftists - do you think the end game actually is communism or to tear the system apart to make way for oligopoly? I just can't see a Soros type believing he would have more of whatever it is he wants in a communist system unless what he wants is pretty ****ed up.

Well 1930s Germany was an educated society. Why do you think those educated civilized people did what they did? Because they didn't think they were capable of such things. Sort of like you're claiming now.Let's just leave my German heritage out this, shall we?
If you're internet argument involves Nazis, then you're not winning.

Well, where do we begin... rampant inflation, bad feelings from the getting kicked in the teeth after WWI, having to take full blame from WII, poverty, countering communist influences, the rise in fascism and nationalism across Europe...Well 1930s Germany was an educated society.

For example, make a video of you pissing on a Glock and then shooting it with a 1911 45ACP, basically God's choice in personal sidearms. OMG. Look out. The Glock fanbois will be hopping mad. They are certain that is the unpardonable sin and you will go to hell for it.Q
I'm sure for each horrible regime that came into power, there were folks as equally impassioned, equally certain they knew the truth, and equally certain their enemies must be destroyed, equally sure they weren't supporting a fascist dictator, equally assured of their righteousness,and equally sure that theirs was the path to freedom and happiness as you are today.Because some things are objectively true. Rhetoric based on lies is more egregious than that which isn't. You'd be hard pressed to find any sort of support for fascism among trump supporters but the dems have elected avowed socialists to Congress, prominent members are talking about making lists of political enemies, they are passing legislation with the express goal of stripping their political opposition of power to name just a few. This is how authoritarian regimes come to power. Read history. There are those of who can see it, and those who either can't or don't want to admit it.
As to how it's helpful, maybe if those in 1910s Russia, 1930s Germany, 1940s China had spoken out more forcefully against the totalitarian forces at work to take control of their countries, 100 million people wouldn't have had to die. Some people need to wake up.
Please don't diss the song, bushwacker. It always makes me relax, when I hear it sung all proper-like.Not trying to be confrontational, but the real communists are happy there are people who think like you do. They do not want to get along, they want to destroy your way of life. Better that you recognize the threat than insist on singing kum by yah.

That is a bunch of nonsense. Arbitrarily declaring a valid comparison off limits because Simon says is irrelevant to the quality of the point being made.Let's just leave my German heritage out this, shall we?

And not every (educated) person in Germany went along with it.
I think there are two competing factions. The communists/bat **** crazy woke progressives and the crony establishment. The latter I gues we could say are the oligarchs. The former are just useful idiots. I mean if we’re speculating.Curious. With respect to the big money behind the bat **** crazy leftists - do you think the end game actually is communism or to tear the system apart to make way for oligopoly? I just can't see a Soros type believing he would have more of whatever it is he wants in a communist system unless what he wants is pretty ****ed up.
Far left progressives sure act like they want communism. They may differ on what variety. Antifa wants anarcho-communism. BLM seems to like Maoism.That is exactly what I was thinking. They may want some progressive utopia, but I do not think it is a Communist society.
