When you sit at a table with 2 nazis, there are three nazis.

And a table. A Nazi table.

2 Nazis walk in to a room of 1000 people and there are now 1002 Nazis in there, right?

If the 1000 people are fine with the nazis being there, yes.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

If you let them stay, yes there are.

2 Nazis at the University

OH NO FUCK IT'S LIKE 73,284 NAZIS NOW

(Edit: In all seriousness, I know you already know this, but the problem with the "3 people at the table" analogy is that, A, there are 500,000 people involved, not 3, and if you aren't talking to the people at the table, or hearing from them, but merely existing on the same electronic computer without any interaction unless you decide to pursue same, which obviously most people won't do because they're fucking Nazis, then the risk of becoming suddenly a Nazi because they are next to you on the hard drive is in most cases pretty slight.)
