    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

    It’s one of the rules of thumb of navigating online discussions these days; when someone gets called a nazi or a racist etc. it’s pretty safe to assume that they’re not. You’re going to be right more often than not. It’s a bit similar to when a news article headline is in the form of a question, the answer is most likely no.
