Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is a great way to get your message ignored.

Sam Kriss having a broken clock moment posted:

At no point in a conversation about Israel or anti-Semitism is it a good idea to start talking about interesting facts about the Holocaust that not many people know. This isn't just a matter of looking bad in front of the cameras: the Holocaust was a monstrous, shattering cataclysm, a memory that's still incredibly painful for millions of people, an evil far, far greater than anything Israel has done since, and it should not be instrumentalised to score an argumentative point. Yes, there are supporters of Israeli policy who like to sift through the cemeteries in the hope of silencing any opposition. Be better than them. Don't talk about Hitler. Don't talk about the Holocaust.

But it's comparing them with American alt-right groups, not with Nazi Germany. There are differences. Like, the country is not the same.

To be more precise: If you were to chart the relationship between the Trump administration and the alt-right (and more specifically, Nazis and the KKK) you would find an exact parallel with the Netanyahu administration and pretty much group that would chant "death to Arabs" in public.

One of the major differences is that while Bibi is (at the very least) vaguely competent enough to quickly and decisively condemn "racism" whenever the question is posed while (obviously) implementing incredibly racist policy, he would never condemn any of the actual groups by name, no matter how pressured he was.

There's got to be a closet furry goon around here who knows more than they're telling re: Garrison's furry alter-ego. To that goon I want to say you can snitch on Garrison without hesitation here. It's been established that juggalos are cool if they're making GBS threads on neo-nazis, so I don't see why furries can't get in on that.

You have no clue how wide the furry market is, do you? This is roughly equivalent to "Oh, you're from Ireland? Did you know my grandma?"

I'm honestly confused by all the "both sides" comics. Even if you want to have the delusion that the antifa/BLM are violent/as violent as Nazis, they're not really making convincing arguments of how violent anti-fascists are worse or no better then violent fascists.

Would these people have been condemning the Allies for their violence in WWII?

As a kid I learned that George said he didn't want monuments etc to him anyway. I can't find a quote like that now though.

It's not like evidence matters at all. Some dweeb on twitter got "official antifa" as his account and tweeted a couple of EVIL STRAWMAN LEFTY stuff and the screenshots are still being passed around as Solid Evidence of Antifa being a terror organization even though the tweets had 2 likes and the account had no followers.

When BLM was just starting, one of those ISIS recruit bots that just posts propaganda on any trending hashtag posted something followed by #BlackLivesMatter and that was also used as Definitive Evidence that BLM and ISIS are allies.

Someone defaced a Christopher Columbus statue in Boston yesterday, as a very direct way of saying "hey everybody I think this statue should come down as well"

and on the one hand it's like, he wasn't a Confederate, and on the other hand it's like, yes it should come down anyway though
