        I appreciate you using your brain and resisting the circlejerk. You can’t just call everybody that disagrees with you some leftist dog whistle (nazi, fascist, bigot, shill, AI, xphobic) and think you’re effecting positive change. Bring people in, don’t shut people out. The only change you’re effecting is making people mad at you and then we have situation like Trump winning a second term.

                Step 3, find the Nazi. That’s not a strawman. You’re labeling anybody that argues you a Nazi.

                  No? You’re finding anyone upset at the general statement “fuck Nazis” to quite probably be Nazis. We aren’t talking about general, abstract argument, but the particular statement “fuck Nazis.”

                    Now you’re changing the post to infer “quite probably”. Either way, just because somebody disagrees with a statement doesn’t make them whatever you say they are. This is absolutist propaganda.

                  The post is we hate nazis and one way to find who they may be is say that and see who complains about being mean to nazis.

                  The entire point is see who responds that’s mean not call anyone specific a nazi

                    Nobody is going to say “don’t call people you disagree with Nazis” unless you’re calling people you disagree with Nazis.
