    Seems like it’d be easier to explain why he seems like a Nazi (literally in uniform with a swastika armband and all) than to keep asserting that it’s obvious.

    Also is that last panel supposed to be a Stonetoss face?

      I think the point is that if you try to show them the “armband” such as “hey here’s this guy literally saying the jews should be eradicated” they refuse to look

        I can have my moments of being that guy. “Obviously a Nazi” is less persuasive than “literally saying Jews should be eradicated” when it comes to believing they’re a Nazi.

          It can be a bit harder to detect if you don’t know the right lingo and dogwhistles.

          They’re more commonly known nowadays but you still have to be pretty online to really know.

      You really summed up my experience with people absolutely refusing to explain themselves. It’s so frustrating

      Is it that people are throwing around the word Nazi way too loosely, or is it that far too many people are way closer to Nazis than people like you would care to admit?

      (Hint: it’s the latter)

      Throw around a word too loosely, that describes fascism, when fascists are on the rise. Weird. Makes me think you are a nazi.

      I thought this comic was a bit strawmany until I read your comment.

      You’re the butt of the comic’s joke.

                  Nah, I have no sypathies for child abusers, I just know what happens when you dehumanize people.

                  But I’m not going to spend any more time discussing things with someone who “mysteriously” keeps getting called a nazi and actively dehumanizes people they don’t like. This will forever be a mystery that I have no intention of investigating.

      Except the people we use that word to describe keep behaving more and more exactly like literal dictator-worshipping, book-burning, queer-murdering, NAZIs.

      Almost as if we were right all along and they were just fucking lying when they denied it.
