    Literally all you have is strawmanning and name-calling. Still waiting for a shred of evidence, it’s weird that you’ve engaged with me this much without dropping any. Like, if I were engaging with an actual Nazi who was engaging in Holocaust denialism, I’d have definitely dropped some of the veritable mountain of evidence that exists on it by now. It’s too bad you can’t do that with me, because I’m not a Nazi and the “genocide” I’m denying has no evidence at all.

    or a lesson on why genocide is bad and why you SHOULD oppose it

    What exactly does “opposing” mean here? Reading news stories and shaking your head to show you disagree, while supporting the people doing it and calling everyone who actually opposes it a Nazi?

    Apparently, you lack basic reading comprehension

    You know that thing you do where you assign views to people without them saying it, even when they explicitly and repeatedly deny holding those views? I’m just doing that to you. I have a much stronger case to say you’re fine with the Palestinian genocide than you do in calling me a fascist.

      You’d do everything you could to legitimize their view, I know. I wouldn’t, but that’s just me - silly ol’ ‘liberal’ that I am, not believing that fascism is just something to be ‘argued down’ in the marketplace of ideas. :)

        Right, you have all the evidence right there in front of you, you could pop off a quick link in any of these conversations but you choose not to because that would be “legitimizing my view.” Having these conversations doesn’t do that, because, uh, reasons, it’s only when you support your position with evidence that it, uh, legitimizes the other side. Somehow.

        The correct way to deal with Nazis, according to you, is to engage with them and let them argue all their points, but, and this is crucial, don’t provide any evidence they’re wrong. That is hilariously wrong.
