You're talking about the leader of the NSDAP while I was talking about a political ideology which aims to implement socialism at a national scale. These are not the same things and the concept I describe does not have 'a leader' just like e.g. market capitalism does not have 'a leader'.

I'm talking about the leader of the Örebro party.

You're talking about him like he is comparable to the leader of the NSDAP, something known as Reductio at Hitlerum. I understand you don't like Allard for some reason but that doesn't make him a Hitlerian figure.

[dodslaser]

No, I'm saying he walks and quacks like a right-wing populist. In fact, you were the one who brought up Hitler. There are several others you could compare him to; It's always the same playbook.

I'm the one who pointed out you were comparing him to Hitler without using the name so you could claim it was me who brought up Hitler. Indeed, it is always the same playbook.

Your nick (for those who don't speak Swedish: 'dödslaser' is Swedish for 'death laser') seems to point at you being Swedish or at least having some tie to the country. If so, in what way does Allard seem to be such a threat to you that you portray him in this light?

[dodslaser]

Find yourself on that side of the argument often, do you?

On a more serious note: No, I don’t see Markus Allard or the Örebro party as a threat in isolation. The broader right-wing populist movement they are part of, on the other hand, is very concerning. The normalization of racism, vilification of independent journalism, widespread acceptance of "alternative facts," and nonchalant attitude towards the democratic processes within this movement are particularly worrying.
