[QUOTE=AaronM202;51700063]To be fair, Hitler WAS a good public speaker.[/QUOTE] What, do you like Hitler or something? [editline]20th January 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Judas;51700070]in the thread about the inaguration of the 45th president of the united states donald j trump, several facepunch users conclude "hitler wasn't all bad"[/QUOTE] Yup, acknowledging that Hitler was a great public speaker is the same as saying he "wasn't all that bad." What a horrible post.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51700048]and you find absolutely nothing concerning about that whatsoever[/QUOTE] "Hitler drank water. You're drinking water. Don't you see what you're doing?!"

[QUOTE=Stroheim;51700058]I don't think you've made a point in this argument besides "Trump is a Fascist because I think he is"[/QUOTE] He's a fascist because he talks about building a wall to divide two nations that have previously been on at least diplomatic terms. Because a lot of his rhetoric pre-election was based on senselessly imprisoning someone that, while politically dirty, was otherwise found non-culpable. These are actions the fascists of the 20th century promised and performed.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51700048]and you find absolutely nothing concerning about that whatsoever[/QUOTE] No. This is what politicians do. When I listened to some of the A.N.S.W.E.R. protestors speak earlier in the day I felt the same way. You can recognize these commonalities without succumbing to their effects. I doubt it will reflect the next four years well, but I think the speech was good, and it was certainly a trip to listen to.

[QUOTE=Judas;51700070]in the thread about the inaguration of the 45th president of the united states donald j trump, several facepunch users conclude "hitler wasn't all bad"[/QUOTE] Nobody said this. You'd think you could criticize what people are saying enough without putting words in their mouth to try and sound superior.

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51700013]I sometimes pet a dog and think "hitler liked this too".[/QUOTE] yes my general thought process for everything is "did hitler like this y/n?"

And yea, the FBI let her off on the server but her foundation still has an ongoing FBI investigation. So again, how is he a fascist.

This thread's just a whole big game of backsass right now, my god.

Does that mean those countries are Fascist countries?

[QUOTE=-nesto-;51700093]The wall is to stop illegal immigration, not cut Mexico off. And yea, the FBI let her off on the server but her foundation still has an ongoing FBI investigation.

[QUOTE=DOCTOR LIGHT;51700094]This thread's just a whole big game of backsass right now, my god.[/QUOTE] Eh? Where?

[QUOTE=Stroheim;51700097]Countries in the EU have also built walls to divide two nations that have been on diplomatic terms.

I just don't see the need for a hitler comparison unless you're trying to undermine your own point. Yeah he was a good speaker but his speeches were also ultra nationalist and that's not a positive imo. Feel free to act like disagreeing with a choice of words makes me a reactionary. You guys get pissy when we pick our words poorly, I would assume the same applies vice versa?

TBH I kind of want to see the footage of the balls tonight. I want to see how the First Lady & POTUS can handle their first REAL impressions.

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51700013]I sometimes pet a dog and think "hitler liked this too".[/QUOTE] I sometimes pet a cat and think "Hitler probably didn't like this". And then I pet it some more, with a spiteful evil laugh.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;51700093]The wall is to stop illegal immigration, not cut Mexico off. And yea, the FBI let her off on the server but her foundation still has an ongoing FBI investigation. So again, how is he a fascist.[/QUOTE] You've been told an innumerable number of times that the primary method of illegal immigration is over stayed visas but you're still going on about this like facts will never matter

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51700111]I sometimes pet a cat and think "Hitler probably didn't like this". And then I pet it some more, with a spiteful evil laugh.[/QUOTE] So, you're a Maoist?

"Very simple language, but had a powerful, spine-chillingly patriotic message. Kinda like Adolf Hitler." That whole section paints a "powerful but unnerving" message.

[QUOTE=DOCTOR LIGHT;51700105]Are you talking about the Berlin Wall? Because I got some news for you, buddy.. the GDR was kinda a police state...[/QUOTE] I mean countries like Croatia and the other former Eastern Bloc Countries. Although you could bring Italy and Greece into this as well, since they are building a (theoretical) Wall (of Legislature) to stop Turkey from sending immigrants in.

[QUOTE=!LORD M!;51700121]So, you're a Maoist?[/QUOTE] He's a Meowist

[QUOTE=geel9;51700052]It seems to me that people are so concerned with being seen as "Hitler apologists" that they refuse to even accept the idea that people might have positive qualities, even if they also have very negative qualities.[/QUOTE] I don't think people are bothered by people stating that hitler had positive qualities, as does any human being I think what's concerning is when someone favorably compares other people to mass murderers, demagogues, and lunatics there's a difference between "Jim Jones was an expert orator" and "Man, that speech was so good! Reminded me of Jim Jones!"

[QUOTE=DOCTOR LIGHT;51700105]Are you talking about the Berlin Wall? Because I got some news for you, buddy.. the GDR was kinda a police state...[/QUOTE] EU = European Union. GDR Was eastern block. [B]#factchecked[/B]

[QUOTE=Perrine;51700126]He's a Meowist[/QUOTE] You ruined it.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;51700119]You've been told an innumerable number of times that the primary method of illegal immigration is over stayed visas but you're still going on about this like facts will never matter[/QUOTE] Ignoring for a second his stubborn inability to accept facts, from what i understand he's not wrong with that, the wall is intended to stop illegal immigration. It'd be a completely shit method, but thats the intention.
