This is the content that tries to tell me that my beliefs compare to a belief that tells people to kill Jews. I don’t want to kill Jews. They use the Nazi argument against Conservatives because they lack any other competent argument

Competent arguments don't work against a sham philosophical stance. Evil people want power over others, but can't just state they want to be the top dog in a dog-eat-dog world of hatred that they live in. So they tell the people trying to make things better to stop, and generally say whatever panders to the common base human nature that will get them over on others, rather than take up the burden of overcoming our self-destructive tendencies. That's why they often rely on religion and the imposition of sin on others rather than practicing personal virtue.

A real argument against conservativism is simply: past approaches have largely failed, and expecting them to suddenly work is stupid.
