Just because both X and Hitler say y, X doesn’t become a Nazi sympathizer. It is only possible if y is only derivable from the Nazi theory but not derivable from any other theory. Next time, when both X and Hitler are found to be said that Berlin is capital of Germany or that sum of three angles in a triangle is 180 degrees or that putting hands in hot water burns hands, start proclaiming that these claims are derivable from the Nazi theory or X is a Nazi sympathizer.

Hitler said a lot of common sense, otherwise the masses wouldn't agree with him. You mix common sense with common nonsense and you get convincing nonsense.
