All it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing. I'm sure many well intentioned Germans who were just sick and exhausted of the state of their existence after ww1 and finally found a little bit of status quo just didn't have the energy to stand up to the Nazis, and therefore paved the way for their rise (said exhaustion also being the result of commonly occurring fascist tactics which are also oddly bearing a striking resemblance to the Tory party's controversy exhaustion tactics)

The guy isnt argueing his point brilliantly , but you cannot deny this is history repeating itself, that in itself is grossly offensive too.

Its a fine thing that what was being critiqued was the language being used being reminiscent of the methods Nazis used to dehumanise groups of people, nothing to do with the specifics of immigration policy. But cool tangent I guess? A fine way to drop the mask my friend.

Seeing a blatant and direct connection between the social tactics employed by fascists in the past and those employed in the present is not sophistry, I fear you do not know the meaning of the word.

Correct, however , the language used to dehumanise certain groups under the nazi regime has been used extensively throughout other similar fascist regimes, and such use of language is present today, this use of fascist rhetoric is disturbing. But once again thank you for your derailment into something only tangentially relevant.
