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.

I wasnt comparing rainbow stuff to nazi stuff. I was using a vaguely "opposite" thing to make my point about hypocrisy. Come on now.
You compared the OP's damaging of a contemporary concentration camp hat to destroying a rainbow flag, weren't you? The alligator Alcatraz thing isn't literally a 1930s Nazi, but it's extremely similar.
we really should start calling them by their real name. groups like the kkk and white suprimists were the inspiration for Hitler and he used the same rhetoric to form the nazis. the same rhetoric Trump used in the election, i think i counted 3 times he used language directly coming from Hitler speeches?
i think people are too slow to understand nuance, don't know their history or take everything literally. when people say Nazis they're talking about our countries bigots and nationalists which want to take away our liberty and freedom. so maybe we call them Maga, that's what the history books will call them and i don't think history has every looked favorable on those constructing concentration camps. Maga should be a revolting word.
I get your point although it does seem like you're comparing 1:1 😅
That's because the whole notion that it's hypocritical is founded on the idea of equating those things, why are you backing down?
Destroying hateful shit isn't analogous to destroying egalitarian shit.
Guy is an "enlightened centrist" i.e. useful idiot at best and actual fascist at worst

And so on.
