As I said, that Antifa and Nazis are even remotely categorically similar, to the point that it would be logical to mention them both in the same breath:

Comments like these are, at the most generous interpretation, sort of accidentally ignorant sounding and flippant. At the worst interpretation, they're Nazi apologists. That's area nobody in their right mind wants to tread close to and I don't believe anyone of these posts intentionally does that, but the main issue is that this distinction is left to interpretation.
Antifa = morally right intentions that anyone in a modern liberal society can relate to (racism, bigotry, hate = bad) with methods few in that same society can relate to or morally condone (violence, suppression of free speech)
Nazi = morally wrong intentions and methodology that literally no even debatably good person in their right mind can relate to.
There's no slippery slope here.
