This screams that people with different opinions aren’t people with valid opinions and lead to further dialectic conversation, and I reject that premise.
Conservatives should be welcome. Everyone should be welcome.
I don’t think they were saying they’re Nazis; unfortunately, many people can’t recognize the harm a group does if that harm is slow or “off-screen” (like the poverty or civil restrictions most conservative policies inevitably result in).
I think they were just using a conservative group such as the Nazis since it’d be much more obvious to the average person as to why we need to draw a line, with some groups, and cleanly indicate why OP’s blanket statement that “everyone should be welcome” can’t possibly be true.
There are those who view this offer to share their thoughts and existence as an opportunity to permanently terminate the same of others.
Nazis in Ukraine are still Nazis. Fortunately, there weren’t very many Nazis in Ukraine, and Russia just used that as a scapegoat, and only a fool would believe otherwise 😊
Well… that’s not quite what I said. I said civil rights. Not equal treatment under the law. If the government passed a law banning Jewish people or that I can own a black man or that trans people can’t use their preferred bathroom, that law could be equally applied to everyone, but not effect everyone equally.

I disagree, Nazi’s have zero place anywhere in society outside of a history book.
They’re not Nazis. Calling them Nazis just makes it easier to do this stuff
Are “they” in the room with us right now?
I never even said who was a Nazi, just that they don’t have a place in society.
way to miss the point…

They’re openly fascists. I don’t know why you’re trying to split hairs. They’re not hiding it.
Agree. Also Fascists and Theocrats.
What if they’re Nazis in Ukraine? Weren’t you agreeing with anti-tankie sentiment in other comments?

There’s enough that they name streets after Nazis, cover their uniforms in Nazi symbols, and appoint self-declared Nazis to positions of power.
I haven’t seen a person identify as a conservative on Lemmy without also a shitheel about civil rights.
That’s probably selection bias. Conservatives that aren’t shitheels probably don’t say they’re conservative.
Ok… well now you have. Everyone should be treated equally under the law. No one should be discriminated against.
