    If we had the electoral power you losers think we have, why aren’t you bending the knee to us instead of moderate Republicans who fantasize about throwing you into meat grinders

      I’m not the one who needs to bend the knee, and those “moderate Republicans” aren’t ever going to.

      Plus you’re all kind of obnoxious so I wouldn’t really want to be associated with you publicly.

        Then stop complaining about us not voting for you.

                Wait wait, before you were saying better Moderate Hitler than Hitler. Now you’re saying better Hitler than Mecha Hitler. See how easy it is to make you even more of a nazi? All they have to do is keep adding 1 degree more Hitler, and that’s what they’re gonna do, and you’re gonna keep falling for it while people with brains and souls wise up.

                So I can count on your vote for Mecha Hitler against Super Mecha Hitler, right citizen?

                  I adopt the terminology of the person I’m replying to in order to avoid a debate on semantics. Clearly you’re interested in debating semantics at any cost.

            It’s funny how pathetic of a “win” that supposed difference is yet you have to defend it because it’s the only leg desperately trying to hold your ridiculous argument together.

              Yeah, “moderate hitler” seriously got me. Do they not realize that people say “moderate hitler” to mock the exact political position they now seem to be unironically supporting?

            This is a bit, isn’t it? There’s no way you actually believe the things you’re saying.

              I adopted the other person’s framing, but I do think “moderate Hitler” isn’t as bad as “Hitler”. Just like “moderate Republicans” (the Democrats) and better than “Republicans”.

              I don’t think I’m the weird one for wanting to do harm minimization when harm eradication isn’t realistically on the table.

                Shit, this take is literally so bad that I might need to go to the hospital for a stroke. Actual cognito hazard.

                Watch out y’all, they found a way to kill commies over the internet.

                  “A better world is not possible, the best we can do is moderate hitler unironically” was NOT on my bingo card for today, but here we are.

                oh my god, you’re actually not joking

                I could get you to support anything by this logic, rather than refuse the non-choice and choose revolutionary means instead. Literally the only value on display here is the preservation of the current state of things.

                I don’t think I’m the weird one for wanting to do harm minimization when harm eradication isn’t realistically on the table.

                You’re the one saying it’s not on the table, since your idea of political participation doesn’t seem to ever go beyond voting every 4 years for parties that stand for the same thing in the end.

                You can vote for the Democrats, that’s fine, but if you’re expecting them to stop the Republicans or to not do mostly the same things Republicans do then you’re not paying attention to what they do. Voting isn’t going to save you here.

                    Neither is the party you support lmao. May I remind you that despite billions of $ in campaign findings, dozens of appearances on TV and other mass medias, dozens of political rallies, all while being the one of the 2 duopoly party and having no obstacle, Kamala still managed to lose to Trump of all peoples.

                    It’s amazing that the only political options you can imagine are voting for the 100% hitler or 99% hitler party until you get 100% hitler anyway. You think revolution is impossible, apparently. The revolution doesn’t come from nowhere and revolutionary politics is not just immediately taking power. You build up parallel institutions of power to be ready to fight when you need to and seize power when the opportunity comes. These can be used to defend yourself when the hitlers come for you.

                    Your entire stance here is just “better things aren’t possible, hitler is inevitable”.

        We aren’t ever gonna bend the knee either, so you can either start practicing your lunges or start practicing your goose stepping. I’m pretty sure I know which one you’ll choose.

          I’m not telling you to, mostly because it wouldn’t work. I’m just saying that despite how smart you all think you are, you don’t live in reality.

            You didn’t even know who Hindenburg was until 15 minutes ago but still confidently replied to a comment about him before looking it up, maybe don’t lecture others about their knowledge of reality.

            Is that the reality where your Hindenburg already had a Holocaust under his belt before the election, and you supported him anyway like the good little nazi you are?
