Who puts out Nazi propaganda? Who would you be equivalent to if your message is on the level of Nazi propaganda?

You would/could be anything and your message would still be on the level of nazi propaganda.

The quality of an argument/message is independet from whom it comes from.

If it would depend on whom a message comes from, it would lead to "Argumentum ad hominem"...

PS Initial topic: causation vs correlation! All Nazis ate bread. -> "Eating bread makes you a nazi."

PS2: trying to find a correlation between religion (christianity) and absolute evil(being nazi) is exactly what Nazis did. They said that there is a correlation between being jewish and the cause of all bad things happening.
