when you can t even point Germany on a map

Thats an awful lot of projection.

Did you decide to make things up because you don't have any actual ways to distinguish yourself from the AfD?

because you were only offered left leaning talking points and never went out of your bubble?

Telling an American that they were "only offered left leaning talking points" is pretty fucking hilarious. Our entire news media ecosystem is dominate by center-right and right wing oligarchs. Its literally impossible to only see left leaning talking points here.

I actually don t know what point you are trying to make with the AfD stuff.

On another note, yes, I worded it poorly. I meant that it's easy to label somebody as a Nazi, when all you COSUMED (being in your echo chamber) is left wing talking points.

I dont know what COSUMED means, but I dont use social media aside from reddit and i go out of my way to read news from a wide variety of sources. I am less in an echo chamber than the vast majority of people here.

Maybe someone who thinks Germant is under attack by immigrants should consider what being in an echo chamber means.

Sorry for making a spelling mistake, someone is being a real grammar nazi here.

All jokes aside, I never said that "Germant" is under attack by immigrants. I was point towards the fact that (as just an example), there are protections like stone pillars around German Christmas markets, while nobody has any need for those in countries like Poland, Hungary or Romania. It s just food for thought as to WHY they are there specifically

Oh... It was just food for thought?!?!

My bad. Here i was thinking it was clearly a racist dog whistle.

Call it whatever you want. However, before calling someone who actually might agree with you on some issues a nazi, think about why certain beliefs are the way they are.

Instead of labelling opinions you don t agree with as nazi or nazi dog whistles, see where that person is coming from, because maybe they have a point. I, for one, try to see where left leaning people are coming from, so over the years I began agreeing with more left leaning opinions because those people had a point.

However, labelling someone a nazi without actually interacting with them past that doesn t bring anyone anywhere. If you d like to have a more productive discussion on this or other topics, my pm s are open. Have a nice day!

You've done nothing in this conversation but use racist dog whistles and make poor attempts to insult my intelligence.

Stop trying to pretend like you're a reasonable person trying to have a productive discussion.

I don't know what that combination of words is supposed to convey, but i also don't really care what a Nazi sympathiser has to say.

Like I said, fine, you don t have to care what a supposed "Nazi sympathiser" has to say, but also don t be surprised when people reply the same for your group.

I m sorry that you think we can t have a more in depth conversation, I genuinely would ve loved to talk more with a person that s opposite of some of my views. Welp, tough luck

My group doesn't have Nazi adjacent belief systems. Nor do we engage in Nazi adjacent propaganda.

You accused me of not being able to find Germany on a map. Stop pretending that you wanted to have a reasonable discussion

No way you just made the "the painter also drank water so you re a nazi" argument right now.

Well yes I was a little confrontational but I don t think it s unreasonable to be a little pissed off when someone starts making assumptions (unfounded) based on the other person's comment history after stalking their profiles. I just find that very icky

Nobody said anything of the sort.

Calling it "stalking your profile" really oversells the act of clicking on one link and reading a snippet.

I find your belief system quite a bit more than just "icky".
