I read your whole comment mate. I can reply to one part and realize that you're not actually acknowledging my point. I was trying to simplify things for you because you seem to not be able to respond well to long replies. I was pointing to a really obvious misunderstanding of our discussion. You can't even acknowledge that?

I'll put it simply with an extreme example. Again, this is an EXAMPLE. I'm not calling you a Nazi. I'm using an extreme analogy to make a point.

Being a Nazi does not require one to acknowledge that they are a Nazi. If that was the requirement no one but the Nazis of 1930-1940s Germany would fit the definition. One can still be rightfully called a Nazi when they are repeating Nazi talking points. Regardless of their intentions or misunderstandings. We'd call them a Nazi.

You are consistently repeating eco fascist talking points. I don't care about you're own internal rationalizing for that. They are eco fascist and you are saying them. That's it. You can try to justify that to yourself but it doesn't make you repeating the same things eco-fascist say any less of a reality. That's what you did.

You're missing 2 things.

1, I did not repeat eco-fascist talking points. Quote the relevant text from me along with providing a source on eco-fascist positions of you want to continue to make this argument.

  1. Even if I did advocate for the same tactics as eco-fascists, the end goal and applocation of those tactics is different, and that is the distinction that matters. You (probably) advocate and support some of the same things that the Nazis wanted to do, like provide social security for the elderly, and have the government focus on fitness and healthcare for the populace. Does that mean that you are support the extermination of Jews? By my logic, the answer is "no", but by your logic, the answer is "Jawohl, mein Führer". So if you want to persue this line of attack, I'm going to need to you to defend your support of killing 6 million Jews.
