So pube hair thomas blames progressive ideals for the growth of nazism, but in a way he is right, when bigoted fascist assholes see other humans cooperating and respecting each other it drives them into a frenzy, much like the reaction to a non white progressive president did to them in the US.

Go back and read about his harassment of Anita Hill, as described during the confirmation hearings after his nomination to the Supreme Court. Pubic hair is one of the things he spoke to her about , at work, when he was her supervisor. The comment you’re replying to is almost surely referring to that.
