Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

What this person did was childish and immature. The in-laws were absolutely correct. OP is lucky they allowed them to pay for the damaged goods. Sounds like it was a small town situation. I've seen people arrested and given a record for the same behavior.
Counterpoint: punch Nazis in the face
Why does this post have so many Nazi apologists?
If you're not ok with nazis hating messages of inclusion, justice, and equality how can you do the exact literal same exact literal thing against their messages of oppression and hate?
I'm a brain-dead liberal btw
Paradox of tolerance, for one thing.
"Two of things may share one property, but that does not mean they share all properties" for another. Like a surgeon and a serial killer both cut people open, but they are not the same.
Poe's law is strong, here.
A person capitalizing on current events to sell slop to idiots is not necessarily a nazi.
Without more information all that can be assumed is that they like people giving them money more than they care about optics with the public. Most shop keepers would prefer money over being viewed as "moral" by some random person.
Supporting Nazis and their policies makes you a Nazi though. Selling Nazi merch supports the Nazis.
See my other comment responding to your flawed way of thinking.
What do you get when you sit down to dinner with ten Nazis?
Eleven Nazis.
Something something only siths deal in absolutes.
That sounds like an absolute, Mr. Jedi.
The irony of that phrase being an absolute itself is not lost on me. My point stands.

To clarify, I'm not defending or supporting OP's behavior, but I believe the initial comment was misrepresenting things.
