they may view themselves as important and aspire to be brownshirts, they really aren't that important.

Interesting perspective. Hard to say right now. How much importance did most Germans attribute to those "crazy Brownshirts" in their early years? I suspect that most of them viewed the Brownshirts as annoying little criminals and expected the early equivalent of the Bundespolizei to deal with them. OUR Bundespolizei need to be doing something other than standing and watching, IMHO. Arrests for each instance of property damage and/or assault. I think the LARPers go away quickly.
I think we agree again.
Maybe I didn't make my point well enough in the previous post. While the Antifa/BLM people are little league today. If Society fails to quell their activities and start holding them responsible for their lawlessness, then it will continue to get worse.
Appeasement has never worked.

I mean you are the prime example of that with post after post declaring one label over another is more accurate with little to no discussion of their negative affect on the country.

You do you. I'm not a leftist, so I don't want to engage in their discourse.

I find the pronoun nonsense AT LEAST as annoying as you do. Probably more so, because I am the son of an English teacher and an acknowledged Grammar Nazi.
//thatsbait//
Irrelevant (because I did not spell is "grammer") and gratuitous inclusion of my favorite grammar meme.

You answered a question with a question. Nope. Not playing your game, hoss. That’s a fools errand.

The funny part is that VERY few of even the Leftward end of the spectrum on this forum (center-Right on a normal scale) have ever called Trump "Hitler."

Imagine thinking you are somehow doing the Lord's work by constantly trying to obfuscate this fact at every opportunity.
The sympathizers are doing ample virtue signaling here.
Authoritarianism of any nature has more commonalities than differences. Today's leftists are more Maoists than Nazis but when they come to power, there's little difference.
The end result will be a technocracy. A nationalistic socialist system of "experts" who control everything. Lots of dystopian novels have been written about the consequences.

People are burning neighborhoods, and the most important thing you have to talk about is their nom de plume? This post was edited on 9/18/20 at 10:28 am

Why is important to not conflate them with Nazis?
Because it is lazy. Lazy descriptions lead to lazy analysis, and lazy analysis often leads to poor policy choices.
GOOD analysis and GOOD policy choices are more likely, if we do not allow ourselves to take the easy route of simply equating them to another group that we do not like, for no reason other than similar tactics.
