I wonder will Herr Hogg try and delete his Reddit account and claim it's not his?
I read through his comments and didn't think there was any epic hypocrisy.
Actually the most eyebrow raising thing I noticed was this:
...because he repeatedly commented about wanting to do journalism and even mentioned wanting to work for '60 Minutes,' some day.
So, does the FBI employ many journalists that work in television news? I don't see how his two career goals mesh unless he knows something the rest of us don't.

Usually brought up people who are supporters of a church that raped children.
I'm really getting tired of being compared to a few pedophilical 'priests' because I happen to believe in God. That comparison is much less appropriate than comparing this kid to a fascist, because he is proposing actions (confiscation of weapons) that are conducive to a Nazi state, while the vast majority of Christians abhor and denounce any improper action toward children.
Painting an 8-foot wall with a 20-foot brush makes for a poor paint job. And a painter covered in his own paint.

I agree that it is fallacious to paint groups of people with such broad brushes. It does not facilitate intelligent discussions.
On the other hand, it is also fallacious to make comparisons to a Nazi state. While we may be able to find points of comparison with the Nazis and current situations, that could be said about a wide variety of issues and only serves to shut own intelligent discourse through the use of hyperbole.
Yes, because why study history and learn from previous mistakes, then prevent those mistakes from recurring; much easier to just live it all over again! /s
That is irrelevant to the point I was making, except that it highlights the fact that reason and logic are tossed aside in favor of dramatics and hyperbole.
All I said is that painting with such broad brushes is illogical. How you came up with that meaning we should not learn from history is beyond me.
>>> But he does hate people, lots of them and lashes out at any who he feels he can personally benefit from doing so or if he is told to do so. And he IS invading a country, ours. He's trying to change our country to suit the whims of those that he works for. Do you not see ther eisn't really a difference?

Hitler was the leader of a country. Hogg is a leader of a bunch of teen activists. Do you not see the difference?
I haven’t heard him saying he hates Jews, or that he wants to invade other countries. Why are you making this comparison?

An armband and a pose makes a fascist, not.
I never knew so many adults could get so upset by what a kid says.
Keep giving him that attention he seeks.
Is he do be taken seriously? Or is he a child? You can't have your cake and eat it too bitch
... it is also fallacious to make comparisons to a Nazi state.

I just don’t think he’s the devil incarnate. I think he’s smart, but sometimes a smart-ass. I think he likes the limelight - no real crime in that, lots of extroverts like the limelight. I don’t think he’s a killer or a criminal or a Nazi. He’s a teenager with some charisma and a big mouth.
I don’t need to ask why you guys adamantly demonize him. You think he’s coming for yer gunz.

I find it funny that @davidhogg111 wants people to show him love while being nasty and vile to others. Worse than that, he and his friends have not said a word to me since the shooting, considering my sister died on 2/14 don’t you think it would’ve been loving to reach out to me? twitter.com... …

Yeah well, Hitler hated Jews with a passion and tried to wipe them off the face of the earth - that doesn't sound like Hogg either.
Say, I have an idea - how about we don't compare him to anybody, as he is not a clone of any one person? Works for me.
