    When your problem is how it looks, well…

    The thing is that the “do your own research” folks use the aesthetics of critical thinking to spread misinformation and thought terminating clichés to promote their view as unquestionable facts. I, on the other hand, gave my impression after being asked to and made it explicit that it doesn’t really add up. If you see other parallels, go ahead, share them. If it’s really only the aesthetics, maybe rethink what the problem is.

      Oh no what I meant was how Hitler apparently looking at both sides and then came up with the horrific conclusions feel eerily similar to how people nowadays claim to have “done the research” and come up with some bullshit.

      My comment was not intended to insult you in any way. Sorry if it came out that way. In fact, I think it’s impressive that you picked it up to study it because I certainly couldn’t handle it.

        Ah, now I get it. In that case thanks 😊

        True, I think it’s no coincidence that these people most often end up on the same end of the political spectrum as he did.
