Yeah my intention was not to paint you as an ally of Hitler. All I wanted to do was make clear my stance on him being evil. Sorry if I came across wrong.

Aside from that, I respect skepticism, however for me to take part in believing what you say I'd need actual proof and not just conjecture. Not meant as an insult, just the truth.

You explicitly said "scum." No one is trouncing on your right to criticize bad Muslims, so don't trounce on others' right to criticize the evil in other religions.

I mean will races ever truly be able to integrate or is there a point at which it becomes an uneasy integration that will never become truly color blind? I'm dubious that people with different skin colors or severe culture differences will ever be able to really set aside their differences to marry without issues. It's just so set in our instincts to maintain delineations.
I much prefer the melting pot approach to multiculturalism.
The latter is naive and leads to a multitude of problems.
I'm very much for immigration, but I think it should be controlled.
I don't give a **** about skin colour and think the so-called races should mix like crazy but I am very sceptical about a strong influx from people from conservative patriarchal cultures (who also embrace those cultural values) into more liberal countries. My experiences as an immigrant from the former to the latter might be playing a role.

Hitler was not a socialist. Saying he was one is stupid.

I find it funny that socialists seem to be the ones to deny that Hitler was a socialist. The nazi party literally meant: National Socialist German Workers' Party

Dismissing ideas from the other end of your spectrum only serves to solidify ignorance.
