Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar. (sh.itjust.works)

That's not what I said. What I said was:

"If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar."

And this particular thread line moved to a different turn of phrase with the same meaning that you replied to. Use those critical thinking skills and put 2 and 2 together.

Why you're asking if I'm eating with nazis, is what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. My quote was about taking up space, not sharing a meal.

If a nazi walls in to a bar, they should be thrown out by the admin and other patrons. If not, then the non-nazis may leave as they recognize the admin is cool with nazis and thus were already in a nazi bar.

It's about whether the community including the admin are willing to out up with nazis. If they are, it's a nazi space. If not, then nazis should be kicked out to prevent them from turning it into one.

Your hypothetical about it being a socialist or queer space doesn't hold water because those groups are not inherently antagonistic to every other group the same way nazis are.
