No one cares. More important stuff is going on.

Everyone knows it was a Nazi Salute.

Nazi's just denying it because 1) they are not quite at the point where they can sieg heil while marching down mainstreet just yet and 2) because it amuses them to see the left try to desperately convince them it was a nazi salute.

All your desperate justification, facts, evidence, etc?

It wont make a nazi not a nazi.

but it will amuse them, and exhaust you.

Its time to stop using words against nazis, and go back to using forms are communication that carry a more physical finality to their arguments.

Yep.

Now each of us has to answer: are we going to sit down at the table currently seating n number of Nazis, and let it become n+1.

Stop enriching this freak.

They are not the baddies because of a Nazi salute. They are baddies because of shitload of other things. Which I'm starting to think the Nazi solute is a distraction from. I see so many posts about the salute and the "Gulf of America" and about assigned-at-conception gendering, and almost nothing about the executive orders that actually have implications.

I get where you're coming from, but if someone can get away with doing things associated with a group that's shorthand in the West™ for the worst people in the world, I do think that's a problem too.

Finally, someone who gets it. I've been documenting all of this outrage on Lemmy over the last week and I'm gonna blog about how much real things we missed in the meantime.

Gish Gallop.

The opposition can't get anything done if you produce an unending stream of nonsense for them to counter.

Also Bannon's "flood the zone with shit".

Wrote up a summary months ago (with reputable sources!) and warned about Nazis too and was permabanned from Lemmy news and politics for it.

Idk man, you can tell people stuff, but it's so hard for them to access what's real right now. There's a concerted online effort to suppress factual info.

Someone who doesn't pick as many internet fights as me needs to post that to BestOfLemmy
