The degree to which the Allies didn't actually care about stopping genocide until the Nazis messed with the Allies strategic interest is rather terrifying and shaming.

If the Allies *had* experienced a knee jerk feeling of horror and disgust towards genocide that was strong enough to propel them to act against the Nazis, we would have been better off. This wasn't the case.

Fair enough. I still think Arthur Chu's kneejerk sense of disgust towards me, because I like a Jewish blogger who is also liked by people Chu calls "Nazis", is overapplied. In the same way the Nazis had dangerously overapplied disgust for Jews they felt were oppressing them.

Between the quasi-rationalism of "people Chu calls "Nazis"" and accepting Nazi rhetoric about the source of fascist animus toward Jews I think you're giving the game away here

If you want to avoid becoming something Nazi-like yourself, you need to understand their psychology. The Nazis felt like victims. And they were, in fact, victims of the Treaty of Versailles. That doesn't justify their heinous acts or disgust for Jews. Victimization never does

The centrists in Germany in the 1930s wouldn't shut the fuck up about how they couldn't tell the difference between the Nazis terrorizing minorities and the Communists picking fights with the Nazis They both-sidesed their way right into a Nazi government

To be fair, communism is and was legitimately awful. Remember Stalin was allied with Hitler at first. The solution is a stronger center. By attacking someone like Scott, you are weakening the center and increasing the odds of an extreme unwanted outcome.

1) Scott is not even vaguely a centrist 2) A non-agression pact is not an alliance 3) Stalin is despised by the vast majority of communists 4) Attacking racist filth like SSC and its fans helps push them out of the mainstream, which is an unqualified good.

"1) Scott is not even vaguely a centrist" He endorsed anyone but Trump. That makes him more left wing than like half of America. Are you claiming he's far left? (This is what he gets from right wingers sometimes btw)

The idea that you think being #NeverTrump is plausibly "far left", or even left-wing at all, says it all here
