Nah, Himmler was too into the whole "German super race" and occultism - too "out there" for me personally.

And your flippant use of "you support genocide" to random people at the ballot box really helps the average person see the values of ditching capitalism.

Did you know that analogies are different from exactly equivalent things? You are doing deflecting dances to avoid the actual challenge. You are a supporter of a genocidal regime, and continuing that regime, and you rationalize this to yourself as harm reduction. Which is, incidentally, a bad faith appropriation of leftist thought.

And your flippant use of "you support genocide"

I do not say that flippantly, I say it with all seriousness. You are now just copying my terms because you would like to pretend there is hypocrisy, the highest of crimes in a liberal mind.

to random people at the ballot box

We are on a Lemmy server and you are advocating for a genocidal campaign with bad faith rhetoric.

Principled agitation is absolutely essential for growing the movement. It works for recruitment and it works for changing "the discourse". I have actual experience and success with this. I am positive you do not.
