I don't know what you're talking about. The post o saw was about not allowing nazis into a bar.


It was about not letting anyone not like you in a bar. If they are black and you are white watch out he might be nice but he is going to bring his black friends. You can replace Nazi with any strawman group.


> It was about not letting anyone not like you in a bar.

No, it was about Nazis.

You’ve chosen one of the infinitely many different arguments that would imply the conclusion argued for but are not implied by it, and chosen to claim that is what is being argued for.

If done in good faith, this is just embarrassingly sloppy reasoning. If not...


It was about excluding people different from you. He uses Nazi as straw men because they reference a character that doesn't exist and that would never be in a bar in New York. But this is the one thing he remembers and lives his life by.

He has never met or even seen a Nazi. He wants you to exclude those different from you. We need to include.


Ah, I see. You seem to think that there is a spectrum of benevolence when it comes to people who wear Nazi symbology.


Of course a spectrum exists. For example Prince Harry on one side and Hitler on the other.

Misses his original point. Exclude those different from you and segrate. That's the one lesson he always remembers. Truly sad individual.
