I don't think you're stupid and I think you're able to read context, so why you're pretending I wasn't talking about the political atmosphere and playing this "well actually" game, I don't know.
I really don't want to argue, and my original comment was a direct response to your assertion that armed resistance in the US (if warranted) is essentially futile.
Again, yes there are parallels, which I continue to acknowledge, but the US is not Germany in a ton of relevant ways. Subsequently, a direct comparison between 1930's Germany and 2025 US is inherently flawed, in regard to armed resistance - the main topic of your own original comment.
Is it possible that while you were busy erroneously ad homineming me with an accusation of ''well actually(ing)' you, that it was you who missed context? Or are you pretending I wasn't talking about the topic of the comment I replied to and playing a 'well actually' game?
My reply to you was not hostile, why default to treating me adversarially? Why instead of discussing the topic that you brought up would you force me into this exhausting position? I believe you can do better than reddit tier.
