Red herring.
But I'm glad you agree with me:

So since you have nothing to add to this discussion, I think we're done here.

Red herring: a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting.
I disagree. The phenomenon I've mentioned does in fact exist, and is related.

Only on a subset of the whole though.

Is irrelevant to the point I am making about ACTUAL neo nazis dude. You're trying to talk about "people on the internet".
Stop trying to change the subject. We're not talking about "people on the internet don't label nazis right". This is about whether certain actions can be declared as "evil" and what that means.

I have explicitly acknowledged that I agree with you in that regard.
However, it is true that there are many claims that certain people or groups of people "are" Nazis, where the accused has made no confession or exhibited behavior.
You are not obligated to discuss this, but I think it is interesting that you are saying it is not in any way relevant.
> You're trying to talk about "people on the internet".
I am talking (not just trying) to talk about a very specific subset of people.
> Stop trying to change the subject.
The subject of this subthread is a function of the ideas that have been raised. If you do not desire to discuss the aspect I have noted, you are more than welcome to disengage from the conversation.
> We're not talking about "people on the internet don't label nazis right". This is about whether certain actions can be declared as "evil" and what that means.
I have injected it into the conversation, and I have asked for your thoughts on the matter.

Then we're done here I have zero interest in your red herring. Have a good day.

Yeah I don't care.

This demonstration satisfies me, thank you.

A little tip: this is what a red herring is. A discussion is about one thing and you "inject" the red herring into the pile of fish to distract from the other fish. That's why it's red.
iiioiia t1_j0m7fjv wrote
What I injected is directly related to the topic of discussion: "Nazis" (or so-called Nazis).
You are welcome to act as if this has no relevance whatsoever, and I am welcome to point out that you are incorrect. To me, this is satisfying as it physically documents the nature of the mind in a way that can be ingested at a future date. However, further replies also increases the potential value, so I encourage it.
