> So it all boils down to "but I am right, trust me, my bigotry is totally justified"

Are you suggesting here that bigotry against Nazis is not justified? Or if not then what argument are you making? What do you hope to achieve with it? Nazis will always argue freedom of expression and make the argument you are making while it benefits them. They were democratically elected after all. But this doesn't mean they actually believe them. It's going to get thrown out the window the moment they are put in a position of power. Good on you for supporting that I guess?


> Are you suggesting here that bigotry against Nazis is not justified?

What exactly do you expect me to answer here?

If I say no, I created kind of an ex falso quodlibet situation, a contradiction (from some points of view)

If I say yes, I am labeled as a Nazi, because what else could I be?

This technique didn't work in ancient Rome, it doesn't now.

I never was a Nazi, nor will I ever be one. I can sleep well saying that not once in my life have I felt superior to anyone because my skin color is white or because I am male. The thought simply never occurred to me (apart from analyzing the existence of such thoughts in others)

But, yes, I want to reach out to Nazis, because the majority of them are "lost souls" (no, I am not religious by any means) and not the hardcore people that really know what they are doing.

See, ad hominems also don't work on me. (They may work on bystanders though)
