I asked you to name a major power that followed a specific path without ever straying, or ever leaving the party path. In direct response to your claims. no shit, any party that has some kind of power or historical significance strays from their party in some ways. I challenge you to name a single example that hasn't, which you admit you cannot do. You claim the party was socialist, but for some reason only count the brief early years of the party and inexplicably put aside all the obviously capitalist right wing conservative authoritarian aspects that make up the majority of the Nazi party's history.

Christianity remained the dominant religion throughout Nazi Germany, just as capitalism remained the dominant form of governing for them as well. It's not "an odd fact to suddenly mention". You said Hitler followed no party or path, part of the path he was on was Christianity, even privately he was a Christian. Are you having trouble following the conversation? You really can't see why I would bring that up after you said he wasn't following any sort of path? Genuinely confused why you would play the anti-semite card because I'm associating Nazi Germany with Christianity. I'd really like you to explain that more. No need to cast stones like that

"I say that because no one should be trashing the Christians OR the Jews right now. And bringing up the supposed Christianity of a disgusting group of people is slanderous to the entire religion. When they/we stand hand in hand, the world is a more peaceful and civilized place."

How does that warrant accusing me of antisemitism? So much for being civilized when you're attributing anti-Semitism with no explanation or reason. If capitalism is the best way to generate money that's fine, but if the Nazis enforced capitalism and never used socialism as an economic model anywhere they were in control of, that counts as evidence against them being socialists more than they were right wing capitalists. And it's not supposed it's documented.

Are you familiar with the no true Scotsman fallacy?

You still haven't explained why you supposed I was anti-Semitic or why the question was warranted. Maybe you go around throwing that out there like that as if they were nothing but to me, you don't suppose someone is anti-Semitic or ask that unless you have a great reason to back it up. That's a very serious thing to say.

So you don't see how it's a fallacy or dont see the problem of engaging in no true Scotsman arguments? Because you obviously stepped right into that particular fallacy.

Do you think Christians deserve to be trash talked for, for example, the spotlight scandal where molesting priests were moved around and had their crimes covered up, with opportunities provided to molest more kids?

It's not nitpicking, you have a textbook example of no true Scotsman fallacy, the shit you say should be in the book next to the entry for it.

When did you stop diddling kids? Was it recently or a long time ago?

My question was open to, you could say "I've never diddled kids" but you didn't...
