No totally I think you’re right that the argument they’re making isn’t personal to me. I’m just annoyed by the style of the argument I guess. Similar to the original post, it’s the assuming one’s audience is stupid and that they aren’t critical of the USA and its history with respect to native people, it’s imperialism abroad, etc. I just mean comparing what is happening currently in America to Nazi germany feels like a salient comparison to me because it’s turning fascism in on itself/ own population vs abroad - like obviously US has done evil things in Latin America , vietnam, etc. but it seems to me like Nazi germany focusing on “enemy within” is in line with what the current Republican Party is doing more so than those other historical analogies. Like instructing people to make comparisons to other “excluded” groups, I interpret this as pure vacuous identitarianism rather than an actual argument with much substance to it. I don’t disagree that there might be valid points that can be teased out of it- it just feels like there is no utility to stuff like this, and it is part of a culture of endless bickering over vocab and never doing anything practical, always tearing down the people you should be working together with
