    It is a problem when you label everyone that disagrees with you as a Nazi.

    I have repeatedly stated on multiple occasions how much of a not Nazi I am but many people here have already labeled me as such.

    You want me to get a notary to verify signed statements from all my minority and Jewish friends about how much of not a Nazi I am?

    Like I understand what you’re saying when taken as a statement in a vacuum, but that’s not really accurate to what’s happened here.

      “I have Jewish friends”

      Dude this is pretty close to parody and I will need to make this part of a standup routine.

      Even when I accidentally got mistaken as KKK for Halloween (I was in a white lab suit with an 🏖️ corp badge but took my hood off), I did not have to profess with words. I simply stripped the costume immediately off with shameful realization. My actual Jewish friend laughed at me.

      Like I agree this isn’t happening in a vacuum, the context is you defending a guy doing a Nazi salute. People not subjecting themselves to whatever brain rot brought you to that conclusion is not “living in a bubble”, it’s having a healthy relationship with reality.

        … You wore a costume that someone else accidentally mistook you for the kkk so instead of explaining the costume you just took off your costume in “shameful realization”.

        That is actually hella embarrassing for you. Not because you got mistaken for a kkk member that happens all the time with any costume that is primarily white robes (usually it’s ghosts tho), but the fact that you took it off out of shame rather than simply explaining it or just not giving a shit is wild to me. I would never in a million years let what someone else thinks about me control what I do.

        My “I have Jewish friends” comment was poking fun at how fucking ridiculous you sound. I should have put a /s so your clown ass could catch the joke I was making. That one is on me for assuming you had at least a few brain cells accidentally bouncing around upstairs.

        Only one of us has a healthy grasp on reality and I am sorry to break it to you, but it ain’t you man.

        Anyways I am over this whole conversation with you. It’s become abundantly clear to me that you are set in your ways and you see nothing wrong with it so I’m not gonna waste any more energy trying to have any sort of meaningful dialogue.

        Have a good night.

          As we say on the Internet, every accusation is a confession. At least you understand there’s a hueristic to identifying people not worth conversing with, and for most of us defending Nazi stuff is that heuristic.

            Yeah… Except I started out thinking he did do a Nazi Salute. I first saw a gif of only the salutes and I thought “no fucking way he just did that”. Then i saw a slightly longer video that had music over it or whatever and I was still very shocked but it really looked like he had just done two Salutes on live TV.

            Then I finally got home and was able to watch the full speech with original audio and most importantly all the context of the whole thing.

            As I learned more information about the situation I changed my stance. It’s ok to make a gut reaction and then reevaluate once you learn more info.

              How did you ever assume it was the nazi salute if you require hearing the “heil Hitler” in conjunction with the motion?
