MODERATORS
You seem to have made what's known as a converse error in your logic:
The person you replied to said that
You seem to have mistakingly confused that with the false claim
And as such you have responded to a statement the commenter never made.
And equivalent mistake would be claim that since every time it rains it is cloudy, therefore whenever it is cloudy it is always raining. Honestly logical errors happen for everyone, I hope this helps.
Did they? Did you just make a reverse strawman fallacy?
Personally I think the comment could've been worded better as it can be interpreted either as
(I.E. Fascists use the excuse, provably correct and can be generalised to authoritarianism in general) However I do see that it could potentially be taken the other way as
(I.E only those who used the excuse are fascists, completely false) I used the principle of charity and assumed the inital argument was logical, though its understandable if others aren't willing to do that
