No one in this whole reply chain said that. Even if they did, I usually interpret people’s words, so when someone says “sitting at the table with a nazi makes you a nazi” it means to me “not fighting evil makes you complicit in that evil.” If they mean it literally makes you a nazi, then they are wrong, but I usually assume people aren’t saying things that are insane since everyone I have talked to when asked has said the 1st one.
I didn’t claim anyone here did at any time, it is a well-known talking point for some people at some times that is frequently used in Nazi discussions on the television and internet and in person.
I thought you knew that?!?
We agree, it is insane and it’s defended as literal all. the. time. I’ve ignored this for years, now I just go with it to an absurd degree. I am not being literal, just like the phrase shouldn’t be literal. I think this is funny, I apologize if it’s boring to you.
