The lefts Hitler Syndrome

[kaz]

The fact that you or anyone else gets 'tired of' hearing such comparisons or your only reaction is 'you are saying he is exactly like Hitler in every way and would do exactly what Hitler did immediately blah blah blah does not negate the comparisons.

Like everything else in life the comparisons run along a spectrum. If someone exhibits even the slightest resemblance to a past figure they are fair game for parody, and no comparison is meant to go from zero to 100 miles per hour. But many can only see either/or, us/them, black/white, good/evil.

The world is multifaceted and complex and the fact that you or other people don't understand that is sad but irrelevant really.

In the end it is good to have a list of the worst humans that have ever lived, and as soon as you see even one or two or their traits being manifested in someone currently seeking power, then it is wise to raise the red flag and say "uh, we've seen this thing, even if it's a little thing, before. Let's keep an eye on this, it may be nothing but...".

Comparing Trump to Hitler isn't "parody," it's stupidity

Notice no one is comparing any of the other 17 candidates to Hitler or Mussolini or any other tyrant of the past.

Hmmm.

Oh, that makes it OK then ...

You don't understand the difference? Your position seems to be he does not exhibit any of the characteristics of Hitler or Mussolini when he obviously does, or there wouldn't be so many people that make note of it that know history.

 

[2aguy]

The right doesn't use Hitler to demonize people because they think that, honestly, Hitler had some pretty good ideas

Do you nuts realize that the nazi party platform has almost everything in common with sanders and hilary...? Of course you don't see it because you are left wing regressives and have to lie about your opponents because you can't have the truth getting out........

socialism in all it's forms has murdered close to 100 million people around the world....the national socialists in Germany got caught in a public way with their death camps while the international socialists managed to escape public viewing of their death camps.....so the left...in a panick....tries to hide the other 75 million murdered by their socialist fellow travelors and to deflect the national socialist murders onto their enemies......

If you look close at the socialists who called themselves fascists.........they had the same plans as all the other socialists...they just wore different uniforms......

Yes, Democrats are authoritarians. They even want to force citizens to bake each other cakes. What would they not force citizens to do? Citizens to Democrats are subjects

So you whacked out liberals are the only ones inane to make the hyperbolic reference to Nazis, which proves you right. That's your argument. Of course it is. It's true because ... you said so!

The only thing "new" about these fascists is a total lack of personal virtue. Hitler may have been a queer but he kept it to himself.

He still didn't kill nearly as many as the liberal hero Stalin.

[JimBowie1958]

It really is a shame the way partisan ideologues have so diluted and trivialized the evil of this man for attempted political gain.

Our political "discourse" is now rotten to the core, so dependent upon wild, nasty hyperbole that it means essentially nothing.

Partisan ideologues are a big, big part of the problem.
.

And yet the hard core left has literally taken more than a few pages from fascism from suppression of opposition through violent protest, to public shout downs, to conniving to destroy people personally for merely dissenting (i.e. Politically Correct boycots and shunning), along with Big Government Socialism and when the left acquires power, convenient forms of nationalism.

Just because an assertion about a groups paints them as shockingly evil, nasty and violent does not mean it is hyperbole or partisanship.

Some of the political ideologues of today are just that - fascists in liberal drag.

Well, Berny Sanders is not that kind of Marxian socialist. He is for a more humanitarian and democratic friendly socialism that is at worst a very light version of Fabian socialism.

But young people today cannot believe that at one time in our society that poeople like George Bernard Shaw argued that people should have to justify their existence or that minority people were 'human weeds'.

But they did and much of the mid 20th century leftists ideology is based on the disrespect for human life and that still carries through to our time.

Hitler hated the dirty browns almost as much as modern republicans do
