Sometimes it seems like it's been like that around here for a while. There are some spots here and there out in the sticks where they don't take well to strangers. I remember someone telling me about some of their relatives having a group of houses off in some out of the way place, with properties all adjoining. They built tunnels between the houses and are stocked up with food and ammunition.

When I say "country" I'm talking about out from the city, out with the horses, cows, farmers, etc. "out in the country".
I took your "what country" as the US, UK, Germany, etc. If wrong by bad.

There is some good even in the worst of us humans. To see only the evil and never the good in one's enemies, is irresponsibly nihilistic imo.
If you're going to quote me, at the very least try harder to say something that is both coherent and responsive rather than posting some piece of drivel.
One can find a curious (yet informative) Wikipedia entry titled Animal Welfare in Nazi Germany. How might this usefully refute the assertion: "To fail to recognize the Nazi forces as evil is more than irresponsible"?
It does not. Yet here we have your charming post -- one which echoes similar 'responses' such as ....
Back in August 2017, when pressed by a reporter about his views on the neo-Nazis at a Charlottesville demonstration*, Trump offered essentially the same apologetic drivel, proclaiming: "you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."
Perhaps you could reread the statement which you quoted and give us a simple Yes or No answer - or perhaps not.
(* I should add that it was here that a self proclaimed neo-Nazi murdered 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injured dozens of other people. [source])

I call everyone mate, it’s a London thing.
Got as far as Hitler’s dog and switched off, was there a question in there?

Okay, fair point; it's good to learn from history. And this Friday is Armistice Day, btw.
I remain unconvinced, however, that labelling those you disagree with - however vehemently - as nazis, is conducive to healing wounds in a divided society. Whilst there may be an increasing number of people in the US with whom it is impossible to reason, that's not a reason not to try.
- I do not label those I disagree with as nazis. I label Nazis as Nazis and neo-Nazis as neo-Nazis. To insinuate otherwise, to distort and generalize this, is a thoughtless ad hominem at best.
- Before blathering about "healing wounds" one does well to first deal honestly with the assault rather than serving as an apologist for it.

Play the sanctimonious pedant for all you like mate; but let us not forget you lost all credibility when you started blathering about Hitler’s dog.
