I am starting to wonder if you're one of those alt right guys who thinks stirring up poo poo and making false claims about white supremacists will make other claims less credible.

Wow gently caress you too, I guess. Sorry you disapprove of how I push back against Nazi poo poo but as someone who is apparently aggrieved that goons dismiss you as hypersensitive about racism perhaps you should take your own advice and stop it with this kind of poo poo. You don't know my story or what the Nazis did to my family. Yes I think calling someone out for saying we should emulate kristallnacht should be done clearly and aggressively.

How much "well actually" would we put up with if we were talking about some Pepe and the excuse was "well he literally isn't wearing a swastika, it's just a frog and he's not an actual member of the NSDAP which would be impossible since it was dissolved after the war"? Fuckers are always trying to slide by on these technicalities.

"Bernie Sanders is in the employ of the Russian intelligence services" is one I've seen bandied about by many, many centrist Clinton dead enders, so let's not be so quick to assume that conspiratorial thinking begins and ends at the fringes, buddy.

In fact, Russia seems to be to blame for about anything going wrong anywhere. Louise Mensch, who got a column in the NYT, and has been recommended by such luminaries as Joy Ann Reid and Lawrence Tribe, believes that the Ferguson protests were directly funded by Russia.

So, yeah.

edit;

Let's also not forget the rapid embrace of Eric Garland by our liberal cognoscenti, whose takes include "Glenn Greenwald gets his paychecks in rubles" and "Snowden was a Russian intelligence operative."

I didn't do that? The conspiracy people exist through the whole spectrum of politics. what matters is that their ideas do not gain a foothold and are combatted wherever they pop up. a lack of push back leads to their stupid ideas being adopted by a larger group, leading to further degradation of discourse. All of them need to be called out for their bulshit.

I think you're being extremely uncharitable about those arguments. If I were going to put how I feel about Obama's LGBT record as succinctly as possible, it would be "Obama seems to care about LGBT issues, but this principle was tempered by his love for The Process and bipartisanship-as-goal rather than bipartisanship-as-tactic, two things which illustrate his (to my mind somewhat naive) love of this country and how it works, but also lead to some of the biggest failings of his presidency."

Everyone knows admirers of Nazism or elements of that kind of authoritarian politics are always impeccably versed in history and would never make such a rudimentary error."

Again, this is the "locker room talk" defense. It's not like he said "oh this football game is a Holocaust" or some bullshit. He's explicitly referencing a Nazi political action to call for... political action. And this is in the context of a forum where people have literally wished for death on other posters, called for people to intimidate their "centrist" Democratic representatives/supporters with guns, etc. But we in D&D don't like to talk about that and would rather dunk on Hillary's book tour or some other bread and circuses.
