One isn't attempting to draw a direct comparison to the actual victims of genocide and equate them as being the same thing as opposition and regulation of groups that are in no way oppressed whatsoever?

There's comparisons to be made, I don't know this was the specific intent of whoever designed the thing since I don't read minds.

The Nazis, from what I recall, one of the first things they did is to make it illegal for Jews to own guns.

This is obviously a protest to a government limiting the rights of it citizens.

Other comparisons you want to make, that's fine but personally I don't know any of that was intended.

Even if they were joking (although their own statement, which we've quoted more than once, suggests that they genuinely considered themselves persecuted in a similar manner) only "liberals" would find jokes at the expense of holocaust victims to be offensive?

I don't know only liberals but especially liberals. They point out their products isn't for everyone.

Because your premise was a mis-characterization of the actual issue. It's not just "oppressed groups" they are comparing themselves to, but the actual victims of genocide. Comparing yourself to an oppressed group is one thing, comparing yourself to victims of genocide is a whole other level of stupid.


Not what I said. That is also stupid, but nowhere near the level of thundering stupidity of comparing yourself with victims of genocide. The comparison is obviously absurd.
Implicit in the claim that one group is a nazi-like is the claim that another group are victim of nazi-like.

Implicit in the claim that one group is victims of nazi-like is the claim that another group is nazi-like. I am really having trouble seeing how you are trying to distinguish the two. You claim that the former calling one group nazi-like is somehow meaning nazi-like without the connotations of all of the horrible atrocities the regime committed.

I do not think that is the case.

Again, the holocaust (and joking about it), really shouldn't have anything to do with partisanship.
But in this case, I suspect it does.
When the patches are pro-gun rights & pro-Republican, the vitriol over the
Jewish connection is astounding. Contrast that with liberals comparing Trump
to Hitler & the same holocaust.....they're either silent, or actually making the
comparison themselves. The Holocaust appearst to be a partisan tool.

Do not assume all liberals are vitriolic over such statements. While you have not said so much, the use of the generalization in the second part of your statement is implied back to the first.

No one is being rounded up by secret police and sent to death camps, so of course comparing Trump is Hitler is extremely stupid, and if you would make thread citing some examples, I'll gladly make a post nodding in agreement.

Everyone should avoid making examples of Godwin's Law.

The Hillary campaign was an excellent example of this and I don't think it was because they actually believed much of what they said but more a belief in how stupid they thought her voter base was. It was an insult to the intellect yet it seems quite a few of her voters didn't seem to get the slight-despicable!

I was poking fun at the victim mentality refrain you often hear from people on the right aimed at the feminists, BLM/antiracists, trans activists etc.
Aye, victimhood can afflict people in any group.
I thought your post was a wonderful Rorschach test.
