Insidious...

I would argue that no meme counts. That's what makes them memes.

Does it ascribe blame that way? I don't think saying "You're too extreme in your views" necessarily means "You think people shouldn't have to suffer" and equating them is ultimately going to lead to the exact polarization the commenter is talking about.

You don't defeat fascism by becoming a "good" fascist.

Literally the argument the article is criticizing. Don't compare one country to another like that. Sure you can take specific examples of how something doesn't work in certain circumstances, but doing a direct compare just to say "At least we're not as bad as ____" is ultimately defeatist.

Because it makes every argument it's part of generic. It's just a cheap and easy way to make something that automatically agrees with you. No need to put effort or thought into it, just spawn an argument that supports you without anything to back it up.
