      No one relevant is pro-Nazi openly… they’re just quiet when it comes to being anti-Nazi. It’s not meaningfully different when you’re in leadership and have Nazis looking up to you.

          The caption isn’t “the prevailing belief that it’s okay to be a Nazi”. there are influential people in politics and social media that are open about being a Nazi (or at least poorly veiled dog whistles and a general agreement with Nazi rhetoric) and being openly anti-Nazi causes harassment and being called a groomer.

          “Nazis are bad” is no longer a prevailing belief. it’s still the majority opinion, but now there are “discussions” about the imaginary merits of Nazism and a rapidly growing population openly identifying with the term.

          That’s not true. I see everyone around me promoting a lifestyle and ethics as desirable while on the dl living the lifestyle they decay. Which leads me to the conclusion it’s often not about what a thing actually is, but whether i can get orders to play the game of “it plausibly looks like x when it’s definitely y, upon closer examination, but no one cares as long as they can plausibly say it’s x when it’s most definitely y.

      And he was clearly having a severe manic episode that people conveniently forgot, becuse mobs can’t handle nuance.

          I love how I got downvoted for saying “mobs can’t handle nuance”.

          Obviously someone considers themselves part of a mob and was offended. 🤔

            You’re getting downvoted because you’re arguing that being in some sort of manic episode excuses that shit.

            Admittedly I don’t pay much attention to him, so I could be wrong, but I don’t think he’s tried to walk any of that back since then either.

              I know I am.

              I also know the people who are doing it have no fucking idea what they are talking about.
