    Tell me exactly where I mentioned socialism without the word “national” before it. I’ll wait.

    Again, it’s not my fault if people are dumb and can’t understand that National Socialism (capitalized again) is not the same as socialism.

    Oh, and by the way, “it’s in the name”? Well, duh? It IS in the name? That’s why I kept saying NATIONAL SOCIALISM and not just socialism? Mate, really, it’s kind of stupid to explain it, but have you ever heard of jokes? Puns, and the likes? How they play with language? How the nuance in them (that I seem to lack) is where they become funny?

    Just admit that you didn’t get the joke. It’s fine, I wasn’t expecting you to. But seriously? I should accept to be told to read a dictionary? Just… wow.

      Pretending other people are dumb when your “joke” landed badly because it matches Republican taking points circa 2024 isn’t convincing me that you have a sense of humour. You sound like you genuinely believe you’re the only one in the world who ever noticed that the nazis misdescribed themselves as socialist.

      If you didn’t spend part of 2024 explaining to maga followers that nazis weren’t socialist, you can be forgiven for not realising in advance that those of us who did found your “joke” neither original nor funny. You claim to understand Poe’s law but are falling miserably to recognise its relevance to you.

        You sound like you genuinely believe you’re the only one in the world who ever noticed that the nazis misdescribed themselves as socialist.

        Actually, they describe themselves as NATIONAL socialists. Which is, as I keep pointing, what I wrote. You still keep pushing this and I really don’t understand it. You just want to be right about something dumb, which is that I said socialism is nazism. But you keep “forgetting” (so it fits your narrative) the word NATIONAL.

        Just say it, you didn’t get the joke.

        Instead, you keep beating a dead horse.

        If you didn’t spend part of 2024 explaining to maga followers that nazis weren’t socialist, you can be forgiven for not realising in advance that those of us who did found your “joke” neither original nor funny. You claim to understand Poe’s law but are falling miserably to recognise its relevance to you.

        For the uptenth time: the joke was calling them National Socialists because anyone who has ever read a history book knows that, specifically, National Socialism (and not just socialism, without the “national”) is what nazism called itself.

        You just didn’t get the joke, and at this point, I’m starting to think you are just a tankie offended because someone dared to use the word “socialism” in a way you don’t like.

          It doesn’t really matter what I say, you don’t read it for meaning, you just shout some more of the same; attempting to communicate with you is like raking water uphill.

          What does Poe’s law say? How would you put it into your own words?
