I think it's important to keep Hitler and his reign in our minds so we don't end up going down a similar path again ever.

Well, this has been my argument all along... as on the thread regarding the lecturer, anyone particularly young people who voice a concern these days are immediately slapped down with these labels.

Any query made by anyone questioning anything from anyone in a position of 'authority' is mocked, regardless of how valid or fact based it may be.
The replies are becoming less and less explanatory (people are sick of experts) and more and more aggressive (attacks on whistleblowers)

These derogatory labels are nothing but a smokescreen.

Shut up Kizzy, maybe once YOU'VE been elected president of the most powerful country in the world, then you will be able to have an opinion on Trump.

Several times I've seen people cry Godwin's Law when Hitler is brought into a discussion. Not this time though?

I cant talk for everybody, my opinions on the original post are on the first page somewhere. this post that you quoted was paraphrasing one of the members who appear the most upset by the OP as an attempt to highlight that members hypocrisy.

We're getting further and further away from the point. Can't we just debate? You know... in the real sense of the word? It's not about showing people to be hypocrites or scoring points... no one gets the last word because everyone's opinion differs.

It is, it is exactly that... if you or indeed anyone contradicts themselves on any given topic, know I am coming for you.
How can you debate with someone exhibiting double standards? Is this an example of this Orwellian 'post truth era' 'alternative facts' 'newspeak' shenanigans I've been hearing about?

Trump isn't that bad. He's quite funny. R.

y.winter · 24-01-2017, 12:58 PM

Yes, it doesn't look good. Still, I find it being facebook-like populism. There's no genocide in sight, America is far from that and won't let itself get to that point.
