I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won't be surprised but don't dismiss the findings out of hand. It's important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.

That is literally the same generalisation group think blame game that Hitler used to blame and prosecute the Jews.

Riiiight... becasue right-wingers are born right-wingers, correct? Is that why you want to equate right-wingers playing the victim card to people who were actually murdered simply for existing?

Also imo its incredibly nieve to lump anyone who identifies with republican as an alt-right Nazi.

As you yourself have just proven - all right-wingers walk the same path.

Good job outing yourself, fascist.

If u could read u would realise that's not what I said at all. If I really wanted to equate the left with Hitler I would point out he gained most of his public support from promising everyone land a fammilly and job. Sounds like the same thing socialism is promising.

Have u ever gone and spoken to a republican in person? have u ever gone and had a legitimate conversation with one? Have u even left the world greatest 3rd world country?

And since it seems to be your culture to call me a facist as an Aussie its culturaly insensitive for you to stop me calling you a cunt.

FTFY... but I guess it doesn't sound very socialist any more now, does it?

Why? I grew up in a fascist regime, genius - I have been hearing the garbage fascists peddle since birth.

Newsflash - you all sound the same.

but I guess it doesn't sound very socialist any more now, does it?

I don't see how which group ur pandering to matters?

in person?

So that's a no? Get off the fucking internet and go civilly speak to the goddamn people especially the ones u disagree with.

I don’t see how which group ur pandering to matters?

Of course you don't, fascist.

Get off the fucking internet and go civilly speak

Which part of...

I have been hearing the garbage fascists peddle since birth.

...didn't you understand the first time around, fascist?

What makes u think I'm a facist what facist things have a done/said?

You're here running interference for fascists because you're not a fascist?

Call the internet historians... this is a historic first!

So pointing out that facists make up a very small percentage of people politically right of centre is running interference now?

Overt fascism is merely the visible tip of the iceberg, genius.

You want examples of you regurgitating narratives created by fascists to hide behind? Sure thing!

The right is riddled with far right extremists same as the left is riddled with far left extremists.

They are completely comparable acts both Hitler and the left are finding real examples of a problem

So its antisemitic when the right does it but acceptable to literally call for the destruction of their nation if the left does it

If I really wanted to equate the left with Hitler I would point out he gained most of his public support from promising everyone land a fammilly and job. Sounds like the same thing socialism is promising.

I guess it's just pure coincidence that you are peddling these excuses for fascism over and over again, eh?

First u cut off half my quotes rude. Second these are factually correct statements. Third I do not support or endorse fascism as it goes against my fundamental belief in equality. Fourth I do not excuse fascism and am greatly saddened by their unwillingness to engage in good faith discussion much like yourself.

Second these are factually correct statements.

Sooo... you're a fascist.

Third I do not support or endorse fascism

It's not your personal feels that dictates your politics, genius - it's the narratives you buy into and motivates your behavior that does. Do you need to be reminded (again) whose narratives you have regurgitated here? The ones you openly claim to be "factually correct?"

You're a fascist - you just haven't worked up the intellectual honesty to admit it to yourself yet.
