It is - in your strawman argument. Because they've just said that evil is not limited to fascists and described how.
I agree with every word and the tone too. There are plenty of people with "contempt for the weak" who for whatever reason disagree that they are dirt.
It's an attack at dishonorable people, and if you have the need to resort to strawman arguments, then maybe it has something to do with you.
You asked why the comment was getting downvoted. I responded with how the comment could be interpreted in a way that warrants downvotes.
You seem to have taken that proposed explanation very personally for some reason.
How would you have worded the comment?
It depends on what the author was actually trying to say. I've never pretended to know what their intention was, and they haven't added any further commentary to let us know.
I took it personally because you've put that "implying Nazis were not as bad" part as if it's normal thought process. It's really not, I only see such when the one expressing it has already made up their mind and is just trying to silence\condemn the initial commenter. I haven't ever seen that IRL being expressed sincerely. It's always "burn the witch".
