    So… because people do bad stuff we shouldn’t tell them to fuck off for doing bad stuff?

    And one of the best ways to prevent people from being in fluenced? Ostracize the bastards. Basically from WW2 up until the late 90s, Nazis were the designated bad guy. Neonazis were the bad guys in the Very Special Episodes of boy meets world and the like. And that made it clear “Nazis are bad. Don’t be a fucking Nazi”

    But between South Park normalizing “its funny to make fun of the Jews” and the strong push back against having the designated stabbing bags? It reached the point that people lost their god damned mind over the devs at Machine Games saying “fuck Nazis” at the Keighleys a few years back.

    And that leads to stupidity where people no longer view them as subhuman to the point of only being worthy of scorn.

    So yeah. I am gonna keep telling Nazis to go fuck themselves with strong implications that the world would be a better place if they weren’t in it. And I am going to stop responding to you until you explain why you are so adamant about protecting them from ridicule and scorn… even though it is increasingly clear why.

        Sea Lioning is a thing, but I’m not sure if they are doing that, probably just doesn’t want to admit the Nazi problem is bigger than they think it is.
