I never liked the analogy.

As they say in Germany, if you have a Nazi at a table and 10 other people eating and drinking with him, you have 11 Nazis.

    What does that have to do with what I said? That the people who exist in the same place as a nazi are nazis by default?

    Why are you choosing to eat with a nazi?

    That's not what I said. What I said was:

    "If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar."

    And this particular thread line moved to a different turn of phrase with the same meaning that you replied to. Use those critical thinking skills and put 2 and 2 together.

    If a nazi walls in to a bar, they should be thrown out by the admin and other patrons. If not, then the non-nazis may leave as they recognize the admin is cool with nazis and thus were already in a nazi bar.

    It's about whether the community including the admin are willing to out up with nazis. If they are, it's a nazi space. If not, then nazis should be kicked out to prevent them from turning it into one.

    Your hypothetical about it being a socialist or queer space doesn't hold water because those groups are not inherently antagonistic to every other group the same way nazis are.

    It seems you're misinterpreting the 'Nazi bar' parable(? Metaphor? Whatever it is.)

    It's not intended that if a Nazi sits at your table you leave, it's intended that you make the Nazi leave. You are correct though, that if a Nazi enters a bar and nobody makes it leave, then the bar is a Nazi bar. The only problem is that it already was if the owners are fine with the Nazi being there.
