The way to deal with these loons who toss out the "Nazi, Hitler, cult" ad homs is to throw the exact ad homs back at them.
They don't know what to do then.

They don't even know what they mean. Lack the mental capacity. Like a mynah bird they can repeat but are unable to understand.

It's an interesting pastime. The people you deal with are almost always super nice to you. I've gotten fry bread, Christmas tamales, drank Mexican moonshine, etc. with customers who are just happy that somebody showed up and took care of their electrical problem. Contrast that with going to Snobsdale (Scottsdale). That's the rich part of metro Phoenix. There, half the time they look at you as "The help." Doesn't matter that I probably have more wealth than they do, or that I own my home and they're renting, that's how you get treated.
Not always, but a lot of the time. I was at one rental, a duplex house subdivision in a gated community, the occupants were an older couple. They'd had two other electricians out to look at the problem, a broken ceiling fan. One look at it, and I told them it was a DC motor fan and the inverter was bad. Time for a new fan--you can't get the inverters easily.
Talking as I worked, they were retired. He had run a company that laid undersea fiber optic cables between continents and his daughter was studying theater in London. He even looked up the fan--almost $1000. The GC nearly choked on that one. I found a cheaper look-alike that was about $400 available locally. Nice guy.
In another gated community, was replacing a bad breaker (during the Chinese Disease lockdown) at a house. Nice day. In the 80's, light breeze, sunny day. I was outside the house in the service panel, no mask, nada, zip-point-shit. The renter came out, in a mask, and stood on the sidewalk like 30 feet from me bitching I wasn't wearing a mask, etc. He told me he was going to "report me" to the property management company. I shrugged, "Go ahead. Do what you gotta do." I was there maybe 15, 20 minutes. What an asshole!

In a shorter version, the problem with all of the above is it focuses on outcomes. That is, it seeks equality and justice through equal and just outcomes rather than opportunities.
The result is the Leftist versions of all of this require forced altruism in the form of wealth confiscation and redistribution, dumbing things down to the lowest common denominator, and worst of all, quotas. The result is a series of systems and outcomes that systematically produce racism, authoritarianism, mediocrity, indolence, and anger. As a side effect, they also produce black markets, more crime, more violence, and generally hatred for others.
It is social and economic justice as practiced by the Left that creates more suffering, pain, unfairness, injustice, tragedy, and evil. In a Leftist world of social and economic justice, those who can't get and those who can quit. That is, it rewards, sloth, incompetence, laziness, and mediocrity. It punishes success, hard work, intelligence, and skill.
In a picture, this is what the Left and social and economic justice produce:
The Left would reward this.
In a normal world based on equal opportunity, doing your best, and getting rewarded for it, you get:
The Left would punish the artist for their ability and success.

Of course, I agree, but your explanation’s way too deep for a libtard to track. lol One of my best buddies is a total libtard, we go way back, before politics turned into a cult for him. Somehow, he hasn’t let that ruin our friendship, unlike so many on the left who’d ditch you over a disagreement.In a shorter version, the problem with all of the above is it focuses on outcomes.

We’ve had some legendary debates, though. Usually, they’d heat up into red-faced shouting matches as the drinks flowed, helps that he owns a sports bar. When neither of us would budge, I’d pin his stubbornness on being a “low-resolution thinker.” He’s smart as hell, but like all radical left-wing drones, he just can’t see past the immediate. He misses the consequences of his ideas or the upside of mine every time.
So yeah, your comment, well-written as it is, will sail right over their heads. To all you low-resolution thinkers out there: try upgrading your brain’s pixel count. Pack more neuropaths per square inch up there. With some effort, you might start grasping the fallout of your half-baked ideas. I’m rooting for you.
