I didn't want to end my participation in this discussion on a
negative note, but this reply is so ironic it hurts.
A person who advocates for a more welcoming community and wishes
for objective moderation introduces a divisive topic (US
election) and goes on about it; despite having been personally
asked by a moderator to not do that [1].
There's a reason why Godwin's law exists - it points out that
comparisons to unrelated, emotionally loaded topics are not
arguments - just diversion. Fascism and Hitler are just the most
popular ones to use. Nobody cares about actual meaning of nazism
and fascism - it's just an emotional blindfold, frequently used
by media to slander and for clickbait. Why don't we leave US
election discussion to US citizens on forums devoted to politics.
