  • So youre happy that you know based on a 2 second gif and it doesn’t even slightly worry you how easy it is? Maybe it was cut to only show the good bit, but maybe its been cut to rob you of any context.

    We have the ability to make anything look like anything, and we’re cheering on violence based on a momentary flash of bad-guy logo, while being the same species that had literal witch- finders like a few generations ago.

    I’m more worried now, because instead of seeing the point I’m trying to make people seem to be assuming I’m defending nazis.


  • Or a movie prop. Or a weird stag night. Or a mentally ill person unaware of the severity of the joke. Or theres a gunman behind the camera making him put the armband on. Or digitally altered before release. Or the list goes on.

    What you think you see “Nazi scum punished”

    What you actually saw “man gets punched”

    Im lowkey shook fr how easily #2 becomes #1. Again, I’d like to point out I’m all for nazis getting fucked up.


  • I think it more reminds me how easily influenced we can be. “Go find out” is great, but its not possible to research everything you see. Even if I did I’d only find other people talking about the video and would have no real way of discerning who actually knows what theyre talking about and who’s just making credible sounding shit up.

    Do you guys not feel that worry somewhere in your mind when you see things like this?









  • I hate it when the success stories are used as ammunition. Because a tiny minority made it super successful its possible for anyone to do it, and if its possible for anyone then its realistic for everyone, so anyone who didn’t is fundamentally bad. They may be stupid, lazy, crooked, unambitious, but fundamentally bad in some way.
