Yes, nazi salutes can hurt you. But nazi policies can hurt you much more.
How're people more agitated by a nazi salute than by nazi policies? I don't get it.
"Well, now it's open fascism!"
Why is closed fascism any better? The same policies are happening.
Your assignment hasn't changed: Protect the most vulnerable.
@mekkaokereke Uhmm so you think the previous government was Nazis too?
"So you think pancakes are waffles?"
Nowhere in my post did I even hint at the previous administration. I have literally thousands of posts criticizing the previous administration. You can go through each and every one of them and see if I called the previous administration nazis even once. My numerous criticisms of the previous administration are in no way unclear. I have been extremely, excruciatingly, specific.
This post is about people being concerned over a nazi salute.
I said what I said. Nazi salutes can't hurt you. Nazi policies can.
@mekkaokereke @kimschulz So what exactly does "the same policies" refer to if not the previous administration? Clearly you're not a clear as you think in your communication.
@kimschulz @mekkaokereke it reads pretty clearly to me - closed fascism has the same policies as open fascism.
You're giving pretty hardcore reply guy energy here.
@tim @kimschulz @mekkaokereke So back to my question: was the previous administration closed fascism? That's all I am asking. Fascism is pretty well defined as a term so the unclearity of the post made me confused about what was really meant. Simple question really.
Kim, the previous administration is what *you* want to talk about.
That's not what *I* want to talk about.
The only problem is, this is my timeline, and my thread.
But there's an easy solution! In Mastodon, each user has the ability to create their very own timeline, and their very own threads! That way, everyone can discuss whatever topic they want, without derailing another conversation! Brilliant!
So my suggestion: make a new post posing the questions: "Was the Biden administration nazis? Were they closed fascism?" Post that, and I will boost it! I promise! That way, everyone that wants to have that conversation can join in, over there.
@mekkaokereke @kimschulz @tim But you could just have answered the simple question I don't care about old or new administrations. I care about policies that makes the life better for the man on the floor, the working man and everyone that cares and attends to mother earth.
But you wanted to be mister smarty-pants and ignore a simple question just to continue to muck a person you dont know - all why claiming to care about others. Ironic.
@kimschulz @mekkaokereke @tim
"Why aren't you answering my question that isn't about what we're talking about" has some serious Ben Shapiro energy.

When i see a person this thirsty to make someone else look wrong, i feel pretty good clicking that block button
@kimschulz @mekkaokereke @tim if you dont care...then why demand an answer?
