      This is a slippery slope fallacy I believe. Stop with the fallacious reasoning

        Not really. Governing through bribery is a way to implement plutocracy.

        To be clear: “I tolerate plutocracy but I draw the line at fascism” is a valid opinion, even if I don’t agree with it. I was just asking if that’s the opinion held by our fellow lemming.

        Who said that? They’re suggesting that, since you’re putting restrictions, you might as well add other restrictions that also make sense.

          Yeah but clearly the original comment is ironic since it addresses CDU as corrupt. You know, one of the two parties that would be main drivers behind the suggested extremists banning?

          Soo it kind of looks like whataboutism.
