Taking this and the context of all of it and reducing it to "politics" is not exactly being intellectually curious. What you wrote could be a standard reply triggered by a button click.

Bold faced lies that followers take as a sign of power, and non-followers wonder about because they're so stupid and blatant (cheating in PoE2, Hitler salute) are exactly reminiscent of the Nazis, that serves a function, that can be dissected and analyzed. Not by everybody, just like some people think philosophy sucks because they suck at it, but people should keep their sour grapes out of it, just like I do when people discuss the latest compiler they designed. As the Chinese proverb allegedly goes, those who say something is not possible should not interrupt those doing it.
