OK, stranger.
You’re absolutely right: dismissing anything you don’t want to hear as “propaganda bullshit” is a much easier way of having a discussion than participating.
He does this because - it may surprise you to hear, but it’s true - America does not have a parliamentary system of government. Here, everybody left-of-nazi is forced to pretend like they are all members of the same party. If America’s system de facto allowed for more than two parties, then the progressive party could actually choose whether or not to form a coalition with the centrists, conditional on policy concessions. Since we do not, the centrists offer is “we get what we want or else you get nazis.” Then make the progressives out to be the bad guys if they call the bluff, which isn’t a bluff, because the centrists today genuinely would prefer 4 years of nazis over conceding anything to progressives.
So, exactly like the top level comment described. Weird take.
Ah, of course. America’s communist party should be trying to form a coalition government in Parliament this year. Literally equivalent.
It may not have been a weird take in the early 20th century. It’s a weird take now.
That comment was not referring to literal nazis. They were talking about the American right wing.

But only because I was treating it like a real game of Only Connect and figured there was at least a 50/50 chance I was just being baited into saying “Ensign” so Victoria could mock me.
This reminds me of last year’s Christmas present from my husband - a homebrew powerpoint Only Connect game based on our favorite media. Instead of “twisted flax” or “two reeds” my categories were things like “lightsaber” or “Starfleet insignia.” Love the format (and that sweet man).

What is the opposite of a cat, then?
If your answer is, “it doesn’t have one,” then I nominate dog.
My brother in testosterone, as a cis man, this is the manliest comment I’ve ever heard.
