It is impossible for me to bully you over Lemmy. It is possible to say offensive things about autistic people, though. Maybe you shouldn’t. Unless you have an actual example of this happening.

If you don’t understand why politicians celebrating the deaths of children out in the open surprises me more than their killing children, you have a very different opinion of which of those two is far more common than I do.

Yes, no one is denying there are other ways to do it.

What you seem to be suggesting is that if you eliminate literally the most easy way to find who to sign up with when it comes to joining a hate group, it won’t make a difference.

What exactly do you think the point of public advertising is? Aesthetics?

If a 30 year old autistic guy throws up a salute because he never understood the context or meaning behind it, he shouldn’t be punished. I

You’re now using the exact excuse people made for Elon Musk.

Can you tell me about all these autistic people who go around giving Nazi salutes inadvertently? Because there are a lot of autistic people in my family and that doesn’t seem to be amongst their symptoms.

You really shouldn’t upset President Musk like that…

That reminds me, I need to clean my pipe.

Yes, well us Jews are known for being “hysterical” when faced with perfectly justifiable bigotry against us.

I should be like “the good ones” and not speak up.

Too small, too unlikely. Proof that there is no god.

I agree. Suggesting that fascist dictatorships only begin when people are being shot for protesting is a gross oversimplification.

They won’t because they have to pay for college and they are taking advantage of sports scholarships. They’re kind of fucked here and it really shouldn’t be put on them to do something like that.

if it was a fascist dictatorship, we couldn’t take to the streets.

when they start shooting protestors, then it will be a fascist dictatorship.

Got it, Nazi Germany did not start out as a fascist dictatorship when Hitler was named chancellor.

I think you’ve got a lot of historians to write to and inform them about this.

it can feel like we’re defeated, but we’re not… yet….

I said nothing about defeat. I said the government opposition is not going to help you. They are puppets now.

The fact that you are calling trans women men says all that I need to know.

During a press conference Friday alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Trump tried to play it off as if he were totally unbothered by the cover, insinuating that he wasn’t aware that the popular American news magazine (which named him “Person of the Year” in December) was still around.

“Is Time magazine still in business? I didn’t even know that,” Trump said when asked for a reaction to the provocative cover, sparking laughter from the room.

Which other people? What power do you think they have?

And who do you expect to restrain them?

And yes, America is over. It is a fascist dictatorship now. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will stop expecting this to be fixed by any sort of government or legal opposition which will never come and hopefully actually start working on trying to do something about it yourself. Like taking to the streets when you can.

If it isn’t news to you, why are you saying he hasn’t been vetted or doesn’t have security clearance as if that’s relevant?

Yes, everyone is aware that they can change laws on a whim in a fascist dictatorship to suit their agenda. That is not what people are discussing.

They. Do not care. About the law.

Why does this keep needing to be said?

But then how do you define hate speech?

The world may never know.

Also, this:

Maybe they did it without knowing what it meant to you, or maybe they thought it was funny, or maybe they were trying to normalize and legitimize hatred of Jews.

None of those things make a Nazi salute acceptable. Literally nothing makes it acceptable. You’re now on the level of people who have been defending Elon Musk for it, I hope you realize that.

Please quote what you think I said that suggests I am showing any rage.

Disagreeing since you seem to think that this was in any way something done with precedent. This is entirely unprecedented.
