Of course Dave Sim doesn't really argue. He preaches. Like any mad religious fanatic, he's completely convinced of the invincibility of his delusions. You claim that he's not a Nazi. I say that he is. Insofar as he meets the criteria for the comparisons you make above. The man's ideas are quite insane, and pretty much toxic. If he were gone, the world would be much better off. I've seen more of his type than I care to mention, and I'm frankly sick of those irrational scum. Different time, different scapegoat, same accusatory jerks. Unlike so many others who will criticise Sim's bizarre philosophies, but will praise his comics, I don't feel that they are of any lasting worth. They're a pale and pathetic parody of mainstream superhero comics with a silly funny-animal anti-hero protagonist and are exceptionally forgettable. 300 issues of wasted time.
