... so you're just smearing everything together in a big blob of "them" so you can tear down a strawman.
Am I arguing with ChatGPT? What the fuck is this?
I'm not going to read a 920 page document for an internet argument lol
No, I named 2 common ideas I saw espoused reading first hand accounts leading up to said historical events, one of which is exactly what you did, the other is also a common talking point for the same general crowd. It's not my fault you can't parse a tiny amount of information. How is pointing out that what you are doing, which I am arguing is bad if you don't want a more authoritarian government, has historically been a common thought process leading up to authoritarian control, a strawman? It is literally a historical example of what happens in the type of situation being discussed.
Don't read the document for an internet argument, read it because it is an important piece of information to understand if you want to participate with society in an informed manner. Simply don't comment on the scenario when you don't even know what it is.
