But obeying the laws of the government (including paying your taxes) is socialist and authoritarian, all at the same time, just like…HITLER!!! ---

> [@Sinaijon](#): > > No. Actually he very explicitly stated that he wasn’t. He was very clear that the policies that he advocated had nothing to do with government. The whole ‘render unto Caesar’ thing. How do you get from “render unto Ceasar” to “don’t have anything to do with government”? And what about governmental policies discriminating against gays? ---

Cool. I Godwinized a thread that was Godwinizing someone who Godwinized a town hall meeting. Is that a triple crown, or is it a trifecta? 😃 ---

Hitler is vastly underrated in my humble opinion. I didn’t agree with his general choice of targets like Jews, queers, and retards because I usually like those types of folks but the man had game and nobody can deny that. Getting married very shortly before war death was admirable. Jesus is overrated not because he wasn’t a great guy but because it took a damned long time for Christianity to catch on after his death and it required an independent thinker and writer, Paul, to make it work. Modern socialism has no single figure like those two as far as I can tell so there is no one unifying theory like there was for Nazi Germany or early Christianity which makes it much more suspect in my book. ---
