Another day, another weird-ass invocation of Hitler by a member of the Anglo commentariat:

What lies behind the compulsion to invoke The Holocaust, Hitler, etc. in these outlandish ways? In an apology, McFaul ascribes the backlash to his violation of an "unwritten taboo", but, afaict, the backlash stems from his claim being dumb and wrong.
It's because these people literally know no history other than WWII.
Well, for certain values of "know" because they demonstrably don't know WWII all that well either.
I disagree with Loki, however. The compulsion is because they like to think in "good/evil" paradigms, they know using Satan would be inappropriate and Hitler/Holocaust/Nazis is their polite society workaround.
Wait, why is using Satan inappropriate? Isn't Satan the reason for Christian evil-ity?Quote:

The leftists love to call everything they disagree with either fascist or racist, by calling something a Nazi or referencing Hitler they can do both at the same time!Quote:
