    it’s called guilt by assocation. it’s shitty and lame type of logical fallacy

    if you live on the same street as a nazi, you must be a nazi. because apparently you have to sell your home and move away if a nazi moves in.

    of course, if you do this and it’s a non-white person you are racist… and a bad person, but if you do it for a nazi you’re a good person.

    it’s not as if the logic of the thing is what at’s fault.

      I would like an explanation as to exactly why a Nazi and a non-white person are comparable categories of people.

      I’m not sure where to start here, so here are two equally important building blocks.

      First, aside from other reasons the Nazi/minority is wrong, you are comparing a label somebody gets for existing the way they were born with a label somebody gets for actions they take that harm other people.

      Second, some kind of mishmash of the terms “social contract” and “paradox of tolerance.”
