    To liberals Nazis are never Nazi enough to actually be Nazis. There's always some Nazi thing they haven't done enough of.

    It seems like liberals can't aknowledge the existence of fascism in a contemporary setting. Maybe it's because recognising this would imply that one should ally with the left against the nazis and that alliance would be ideologiske unpalatable.

      Leftist: "We have an emerging and dangerous Nazi movement. What are you going to do about it?"

      Liberal: "Vote. People need to vote."

      Leftist: "Voting is not the solution to every problem. And there 18 months until the next election. What are you going to do about it now?"

      Liberal: "Biden will give a speech."

      Leftist: "No. Do. What are you going to do about it?"

      Liberal: "Democrats are in the minority in the house. We can't do anything now. So - vote. Everybody needs to vote."

          In 2021 I had so many convos in r/politics like that. Not about Nazism but about packing the court. I wanted to [redacted].

          It made me feel like an insane person. Eventually in September or October - I just gave up. Shortly before that senator C00ns - a senator from Biden's own state - gave a speech about the filibuster. That is to say - in favor of it.

      Nazis may only be recognized by libs in hindsight, so that after they are dealt with or not dealt with libs can act with extreme Epimethian afterthought and retroactively either shed a tear that they didn't do enough to stem the tide or claim credit for what leftists did with guns.
