So you mean both use it to hide from their enemies?
This is your comment. If you made an unintentional false equivalency then yes - you really do need to work on how you use words. This cannot mean anything other than you think antifa and nazis wear masks for the same reason.
Thanks you for your feedback. I appreciate it. While I personally wouldn’t read it exactly that way, it seems like a pretty big amount of people do.
But I would like to say that your comment is not really a reply to my comment. I replied to someone stating:
Yes. Your whole concept is that if you do something the fascists do then you’re the same thing.
While you argued that my comment has to be read as that:
This cannot mean anything other than you think antifa and nazis wear masks for the same reason.
Those things are not the same, because the being the “same thing” and to “wear masks for the same reason” are pretty different from each other IMO. But I think somehow many people read those things as being basically the same. Would you also see it as pretty much the same?
In the context and phrasing of your argument, yes, those are very much the same thing, if they’re not then there was truly no reason for you to have said anything at all. Sometimes the best way to phrase something is to just not say it. What’s the moral ethos of what you were saying if it’s not intended to be inflammatory? What were you trying to add to the conversation?
If you weren’t trying to be argumentative then there was literally no point in posting the comments you posted. I mean, what was the response you were expecting from that? What reactions were you hoping for?
Everything what you wrote is just based on this assumption:
Which is just not true. But maybe that misunderstanding highlights where I could work on my phrasing.
