    That would be ridiculous, especially as Balance did not make any comparison to Hitler. Have a proper read.

    I think that statement clearly implies a comparison of Jacinda to Hitler. Which was ridiculous, so you got that bit right.

    The comparison is between someone (?) and Hitler's followers; not Hitler himself. (Post 5407)

    Not surprising that you would see it that way. People interpret comments differently, based on the perspective they are seeing it from.

    Pathetic you lot really are - so woke pixie dusted you cannot even have a view of your own?

    Popular does not = good for the country.
    Comparison is very clear indeed, fungus pudding

    but sadly,

    as is often quoted, there is none as blind as those with eyes but will not see and none as misled as those with brains but cannot comprehend!

    Perspective doesn't come into it. It's a clear unambiguous statement. An average level of comprehension is all that is required to understand it. I'm not sure how it could be interpreted differently.

    N.B. Just in case you are talking about a different post, here is the unambiguous comment I am talking about.

    Bringing Hitler into the equation in the first place shows a serious lack of judgement IMO. I find any comparison to Hitler and/or Hitlers followers extremely distasteful. This thread has certainly become very toxic and a platform for what is quite frankly bullying behaviour from some posters. I dont need to read this crap and will no longer be following this thread.

    Well then, I will let someone else attempt to explain it to you because I have a bunch of lovely elderly folk I need to go take care of, who are far more important and deserving of my time than never ending, pointless discussions like this.

    Awesome, you are exercising your right not to follow this thread. Simple isn't it. Nothing wrong with bringing Hitler into the equation though. If you can't bring Hitler in, you cant bring Stalin in, neither Mao, or Che, or Obama. Does not really make sense to me.
