> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > This is glib. What if we’re just talking about a single protester being murdered by being run over in Charlottesville? Is it still unhelpful to talk about Nazis? If we’re talking about someone who writes an anti-immigrant screed and then shoots up a mosque, is it unhelpful to talk about parallels to Nazis? Must we ignore the late days of the Weimar Republic when we’re looking at [rising hate crimes in the United Kingdom](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/oct/16/hate-crime-brexit-terrorist-attacks-england-wales), linked to anti-immigrant rhetoric? > > We don’t live in 1941 Germany, and the way we talk about the real live racists who are promoting Nazi-like ideology today is necessarily going to not involve Dachau. But talking about your “personal thing” is an inappropriate response to what’s happening. One of my favorite sayings is, “This isn’t 1942 Germany, but 1933 Germany wasn’t 1942 Germany, either.” It’s considered basically uncontroversial in historical and antifascist circles that it’s better to stop fascism early, because the longer you wait the harder it gets to stop. “A little courage now removes the need for a great deal of courage later” and whatnot. The idea that parallels to nazis are “not helpful” is just… No. Fuck that shit. Even the guy behind Godwin’s Law [thinks these fuckwits are nazis](https://gizmodo.com/godwin-of-godwins-law-by-all-means-compare-these-shi-1797807646). As for this new member… He talks about immigrants “breeding like rabbits”, he says that “foreigners” are “ruining life for the indigenous British population”, refers to Obama as “Barack Hussein”, and blames immigrants for all of Britain’s ills. He’s a nazi. This statement: > [@What will the UK do wrt Brexit?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-will-the-uk-do-wrt-brexit/829799/1184): > > Not sure what you’re going for here, but this in combination with your other offerings is hard to distinguish between racist dehumanizing bullshit. I suggest you dial it back quite a bit. > > [/moderating] Shows more charity to a racist, fascist shitbag than the membership of GivingWhatWeCan shows to malaria-ridden countries. It is not “hard to distinguish”. Just call it what it is - it’s racist, dehumanizing bullshit from a far-right nativist racist and the only reason to tolerate it is because you suffer from the bizarre delusion that debating racist trolls on internet forums makes them stop being racist trolls. This person’s ideas ideas belong in the public square only to the degree that we can point to his friends and neighbors and employers and say, “Look guys, this person is a fucking nazi” and throw a milkshake at him. And since we have no access to his friends, family, employer, or dry cleaner via the internet, the degree to which this person’s ideas belong on discussion forums is _fucking zilch_. What, did he borrow **HurricaneDitka** ’s warning-proof troll shield? Eh, I’m pissing in the wind. The moderators here are fundamentally incapable of handling bad faith, particularly from the right. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/immigrants-breed-like-rabbits/834483)._
