That we could all (like, everyone) just stipulate, moving forward, that no one's Hitler but Hitler? That yes, there are other evil people, but he's pretty much in a league all his own?
No, probably not. But imagine how much more civil the discourse would be. Well, a girl can dream.

(9,760 posts)it's not like there could never be another. So, if a person or group shares many important beliefs and/or behaviors with Hitler, it would be wise to be aware and cautious and maybe not feel you weren't allowed to point it out.
I saw a meme once that said something like, We should be careful about making Hitler comparisons, but since people are making them, let's get it straight which side shares the most with Hitler. This was followed by a list of beliefs and behaviors the Right Wing shared with Hitler.
