I actually find this talking point so braindead that, to this day, I still have a hard time believing that people genuinely believe it.

      You’re the one claiming it’s a strawman; ignoring the fact that’s not using the fallacy correctly, the burden of proof lies with you. And, no, “their profile pic contains colorful flags that make me uncomfortable” doesn’t count as proof.

          You can easily find examples with a simple Google search. For example,

          https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11848611/PETER-HITCHENS-End-crude-smear-against-conservatives.html

          https://c2cjournal.ca/2022/01/left-wing-fascism-and-its-war-against-conservatives/

          https://paulhjossey.medium.com/the-nazis-were-leftists-deal-with-it-b7f12cc53b6f

          Even Snopes has an article on debunking this very commonly made claim: https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/09/05/were-nazis-socialists/

          There are also a number of books on Amazon, but I won’t link to them.

          Were are you seeing 4 prideflags? I only see 2: the pansexual one and the non-binary one and they don’t conflict at all.

            I believe this troll is referring to the transexual and bisexual pride flags on OP’s banner. Best not to engage further.

          Ah but OP didn’t specify conservatives at all, YOU did that. So where’s the strawman?

              So you think the only groups are left/socialist and right/conservative?

              I think I found the underlying issue, you’re just a fucking idiot.

      Please first explain why you think it’s a strawman.
