If you don't want people to think you're a nazi, don't say good things about trump with 88 sitting right there for everyone to see in your username.
The account is 2 days old. He knew what he was doing.
If trump did a good thing in a very narrow context you can't say it, otherwise you are a Nazi? OK, this is madness. Also, it's not "sitting there for everyone to see" because it's binary. You also realize that people have different cultural references right? Maybe it's not your responsibility to compute the cabala horoscope for everything you do, and assume that people will be able to use at least the 2% of the brain and for example distinguish from a bold Nazi supporter with 88 tattooed and a guy born in 88 who appends 88 to his username (in a nerd way). But apparently not.
He created an account to speak personally and not from the proton account he uses before. Anyway, "he knew what he was doing" is conspiracy theory again.
Yes, obfuscating it makes it better!
He supported trump with 88 in his username.
And he didn't need to put 88 in there, or obfuscate it. And I'm increasingly certain that you're freaking out and defending him for it because you're happy that your political party is represented.
I know you're defending him for two reasons. This is one of them.
And this is the other.
No, it's not a crime to be a nazi in the US. I hope it is in your country.
I didn't say republicans were your party.
I believe you.
If you say so.
Nonsense. People of good conscience can disagree in good faith. People who praise trump and have 88 in their usernames are not people of good conscience, and I don't think you're defending him in good faith.
They said it on an English language forum in English about an American president-elect. The account was two days old. If his judgement is that shitty here, it's shitty everywhere.
Yeah, whoever heard of a PhD being a nazi?
Whoever heard of a techbro having nazi sympathies?
Nazis are shit. That's simplistic. And true. And it offends you deeply.
Holy shit, your modlog is nothing but fascist apologia.
Go find a Nazi bar somewhere else. We’re done here.
I didn't put the 88 in his username. I didn't force him to praise trump.
Stop hiding behind his cultural background just because it's convenient for you.
If he's talking to Americans and already stuck his foot in his mouth, he should have run this through his company's PR department before making a username with 88 in it.
That's your deliberate mischaracterization of anyone who disagrees with nazis.
I wonder if you can even admit that both nazis and trump are shit.
