    The post I replied to specifically asked what someone had against those concepts, so I made my comment.

    There’s this fervor going around that everyone against these policies is a Nazi, and that’s not the case.

    What I got from reading those US military perspectives was that people need to be careful about trusting ideas that look one way on the surface, but have a different intent, so I shared that as a comment.

      Fair enough, I’ll retract my snap judgement.

      Witch hunts are definitely not the path we want to take, guys. Let people call each other out on their bullshit, but don’t dogpile on someone because you read the select keywords you’ve been trained to think against.

        Thank you, I get that things are making people tense right now but there’s no need to lose hope. As mentioned, regardless of what someone may think of me based on their understanding of what I’ve posted (and let’s be honest, my posts are often lazily written and not explaining all the details bc they’re just casual), I know what side I would have fought on during WWII or during the U.S. civil war. Discussion is one thing, but when it’s do or die, it’s another.
