the point is that the democrats are a right wing party, as evidenced by their ongoing funding of war at the expense of their own citizens' well being.

this is like extremely basic logic

You know two things can be "right wing" and still not the same, right? Both Nazis and Republicans are right wing...but you're smart enough to realize they aren't the same, correct?

This comparison really isn't helping your point lmao

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee -5 points 11 months ago

Lol yeah I kind of second guessed it based on how stupid people can be and that there would be some people dumb enough to think republicans are equivalent to the Nazis.

Sure they're not literally identical, but both are fascist parties that have more ideological similarities then they do differences. And the Nazi ideology is on record taking inspiration from Jim Crow laws in the US.

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

Most humans have more ideological similarities than they do differences, so of course that is going to be true, especially when you're pulling from a group of people who come from extremely similar cultures.

But that doesn't change the fact that there are obvious differences between the two parties on issues that are impactful and important.

Both groups had race science laws, one inspiring the other

Well, people are more similar than dissimilar, so of course there are commonalities!

Torpedos own point by failing to contrast fascist against fascist

Every square is a rectangle, not all rectangles are square.

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

Go tell your math teacher that all rectangles are equal to each other because they're all squares. Lol

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Yes yes I'm sure there's an incredible diversity of thought among Nazis. You are very smart for seeing the nuance among monsters.

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee -3 points 11 months ago

If you want to make a good argument as to why they are all the same, while there are clear and important distinctions between the two major us parties, I'd love to hear it.

But if you are going to make stupid arguments like "they are all the same because they agree on this one thing!" Or "they are all the same like rectangles are all the same!" Then you are going to get called out for it, and pouring on the sarcasm in place of an argument doesn't make your initial point any less stupid.

My argument was not all Republicans are Nazis, but all Nazis are Republicans. Am. I. Wrong?

Though the gap narrows by the day
