> Bill maher, musk, russel brand have called Trudeau hitler. These aren't unreasonable positions.

What?

> They dont have a history of calling people names like this.

Also what?

I think they mean that Canadians are usually more demure and polite than to stoop to the level of trivializing one of recent-history's worst atrocities to express political/ideological discontent.

tbh, I can't stand callout culture, but I wish this would get called out more often. What type of psychological damage is being done to jews by turning their painful history into a talking point, or conversational force multiplier? You don't see people do that about African slavery or other atrocities, so why compare everything to Hitler? It's ugly.

“Modern Jim Crow” is an unfortunately regular occurrence in American political dialog.

Sort of simultaneously trivialises all those too though, by implication - 'I mean sure they're bad, but no Hitler'.
