Go reread the thread. OP said:

> "Strong men" make fascism, not good times.

They’re not even referring to any person or distinct group of people. The statement is so overly broad that it could cover BILLIONS of people.

You’re making a mockery of the atrocities committed by actual nazis and fascists. You know what those guys did right?

You would never tell an Auschwitz survivor:

“yeah, the strong males are just like the nazis!”

Imagine how fucked up that would feel from their side.



As I said in another post, I'm italian, and my grandparents had some direct experience on the matter. Their families were destroyed by nazists and fascists. My grandmother family was jewish, A have a few pictures of her relatives with a number tattoed on their arms. I never dared to ask where or how they got them.

No idea how fucked up my gramps were, but by their direct account, yes that "strong males" attitude we're talking about was quite a fascist trait.


You’re not really addressing my point.

Wtf does “strong man” even mean? Is every blue collar worker, athlete, law enforcement, first responder, military personnel…etc a fascist to you?

Why not go a step further and just say all men are fascist? Are all the food eaters fascist too? I mean all the fascist ate food after all!
