    My daughter goes to NYU although she isn’t in the business school which probably has more conservative assholes than she encounters in her line of study. She says everybody around her thinks it’s weird and basically debate how much shit to give him should they cross his path.

    From what I gather, there are two camps.

    Camp A thinks he’s a trump therefore they’ll call him a fucking Nazi to his face if given the chance.

    Camp B thinks he’s not responsible for his father’s actions but he hasn’t done anything to distance himself from them so they’ll call him a fucking Nazi to his face if given the chance too

    It’s a very nuanced debate, I don’t know which side I would support.

        You’re seeing the US fall into fascism in real time, and this is what you’re concerned about?

          Hey, y’all… let’s go back to the old internet rule of not feeding the trolls. There’s a small enough amount of people actively posting right now to stop those users in their tracks if we ignore them.

          In the attention economy don’t give them attention.

            I appreciate it, but my comment was just as much of a throwaway comment, intentionally so
