It's not really about why people would make the association in their head... Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/05/2016 05:32:33 PM

View original postI think Nazi comparisons spring to mind more with regard to Israel because an enormous part of the basis for Israel was a direct reaction to the Nazi horrors.

... so much as about whether stating it out loud is, a) productive for the achievement of the intended goal, and b) consistent with a general approach of not hurting people's feelings unnecessarily.

Of course if one doesn't care about either of those two things, or if one's goal is something other than promoting peace in the Middle East, then one can speak at length about any association popping into one's head for whatever reason.

I don't know what approach you would normally take for tough love with your friends... Legolas - 08/05/2016 10:47:10 PM 675 Views

Is it really because Nazi comparisons are more painful, or because they're ironic? Ghavrel - 19/05/2016 03:14:22 AM 706 Views
