Why do you struggle with giving a straight answer? I know you struggle with Nazi-adjacent topics, but I have no idea why.
Rube criticized elites that enabled Nazism.
You rejected that criticism as the “relentless drumbeat against elites that the left indulges (which) feeds populism.”
I think most people, who aren’t Nazis, would think, “the people who helped put the Nazis in power on purpose? Yeah, fair game for critique.”
So are you saying that criticising the elites that enabled Nazism because they thought they could crush the leftists while controlling Hitler is
wrong or is it actually OK, in this scenario, to criticize this specific brand of elites?
If it’s wrong… Please explain. And then explain why you struggle with criticising people who are friendly to Nazism. Because that’s super messed up.

For what it’s worth I’ve seen him try to understand posts he’s actually read and it’s a pretty awkward thing to witness. You’re not missing much.
