I feel like I’m stepping around landmines replying this, but I never liked the analogy either. It works fine at a small scale, and I’m fine with that, but everyone here wants to apply it universally at a macro scale to the point it’s just ridiculous.
e.g. If a nazi moves in down the street, and everyone else doesn’t up and move, regardless of their financial situation, you live in a nazi neighborhood. Guess you and your kids should just go live in your car because…moral purity or something.
Given the entire saying, you should be forcing the nazi out of the neighborhood; not moving away from them so their nazi friends can all move in after you leave.
My statement, the original shower thought, was referencing how the entire saying got turned into a purity test for online spaces, not that I’m against Nazi’s getting kicked out of bars.
I’m using this account because I’ve been seeing, almost daily, someone calling this instance a Nazi Bar. I don’t think the saying works for highly segmented online forums like these.
I wonder why so many people disagree with the idea I’m putting forth that leaving a space because of one terrible person allows terrible people to take control of a space.
Because you are not supposed to leave the space. You’re supposed to keep it Nazi free by making the Nazis leave. I don’t know where you got that misunderstanding from

Are they .ML or db0 users? Because they do be doing that.
From all instances, including .world.
I never liked it either. I know this is a landmine already.
