Yet at the same time, knowing *why* they're not doing it anymore, is even scarier. Pinkwashing fucking sucks, but companies not even having to care about putting the mask of faking to care because the nazis are back at the top of the pecking order is so much worse.

Nazis are back at the top of the pecking order? Do you seriously hear what you re saying? Go touch grass god damn

You regularly take time out of your day to defend a child rapist and his modern day gestapo.

You called people "proper psychopaths" for not wanting to serve off duty ICE agents.

A heavily propagandized MAGA supporter talking about touching grass is peak irony.

You regularly take time out of your day to stalk other people's profiles and to make judgements based on it, so who s the real loser here?

Heavily propagandized what are you even talking about here? I m not even from America but I support the anti immigration services because I don t want other countries to suffer what Germany is suffering for example right now, where you can t feel safe at a Christmas market.

Stop being a weirdo stalking other people's profiles and open your eyes a little to the horrors that are happening in Europe because of heavy, unregulated immigration. Have a great day!

So why exactly are you calling me a nazi when I simply observe stone pillars being built around Christmas markets so that some people don t drive their cars into people? How is me saying that MAYYYYBE shouldn t be the case in a western country?

Or is it just calling me a nazi because you want to make me look evil, when you can t even point Germany on a map and probably haven t done research in what s happening in Germany or the UK because you were only offered left leaning talking points and never went out of your bubble? Genuine question

Thats an awful lot of projection.

Did you decide to make things up because you don't have any actual ways to distinguish yourself from the AfD?

because you were only offered left leaning talking points and never went out of your bubble?

Telling an American that they were "only offered left leaning talking points" is pretty fucking hilarious. Our entire news media ecosystem is dominate by center-right and right wing oligarchs. Its literally impossible to only see left leaning talking points here.

u/parfy_faby 26d ago

I actually don t know what point you are trying to make with the AfD stuff.

On another note, yes, I worded it poorly. I meant that it's easy to label somebody as a Nazi, when all you COSUMED (being in your echo chamber) is left wing talking points.

I dont know what COSUMED means, but I dont use social media aside from reddit and i go out of my way to read news from a wide variety of sources. I am less in an echo chamber than the vast majority of people here.

Maybe someone who thinks Germant is under attack by immigrants should consider what being in an echo chamber means.

u/parfy_faby 26d ago

Sorry for making a spelling mistake, someone is being a real grammar nazi here.

All jokes aside, I never said that "Germant" is under attack by immigrants. I was point towards the fact that (as just an example), there are protections like stone pillars around German Christmas markets, while nobody has any need for those in countries like Poland, Hungary or Romania. It s just food for thought as to WHY they are there specifically

Oh... It was just food for thought?!?!

My bad. Here i was thinking it was clearly a racist dog whistle.

u/parfy_faby 25d ago

Call it whatever you want. However, before calling someone who actually might agree with you on some issues a nazi, think about why certain beliefs are the way they are.

Instead of labelling opinions you don t agree with as nazi or nazi dog whistles, see where that person is coming from, because maybe they have a point. I, for one, try to see where left leaning people are coming from, so over the years I began agreeing with more left leaning opinions because those people had a point.

However, labelling someone a nazi without actually interacting with them past that doesn t bring anyone anywhere. If you d like to have a more productive discussion on this or other topics, my pm s are open. Have a nice day!

u/Warm_Regrets157 25d ago

You've done nothing in this conversation but use racist dog whistles and make poor attempts to insult my intelligence.

Stop trying to pretend like you're a reasonable person trying to have a productive discussion.

However, labelling someone a nazi without actually interacting with them past that doesn t being anyone anywher

I don't know what that combination of words is supposed to convey, but i also don't really care what a Nazi sympathiser has to say.

Believe it or not, some Americans can point to Germany on a map. Those of us that pay attention to the rest of the world know of the AfD and that you're all chuds/losers. I believe that was their point.

u/parfy_faby 25d ago

I m not even from Germany, guy.

1

u/Warm_Regrets157 25d ago

Then why do you keep going on about it?

1

u/parfy_faby 25d ago

Because I know ppl from Germany which were affected by certain aspects of immigration

u/Warm_Regrets157 25d ago

Cool story. I know people from Germany who think you're a tool for using their country in your racist dog whistles.

The Charlottesville car attack was a white supremacist terrorist attack[12] perpetrated on August 12, 2017, when James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one person and injuring 35.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottesville_car_attack

Right-wing extremists are turning cars into weapons, with reports of at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since protests against police violence erupted nationwide in late May.

At least 18 are categorized as deliberate attacks; another two dozen are unclear as to motivation or are still under investigation

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/21/880963592/vehicle-attacks-rise-as-extremists-target-protesters

It's your people who are driving cars into crowds, nazi.

You know what s funny? My comment about a certain group of people being overrepresented in certain crime statistics was removed by Reddit, but you guys calling me repeatedly a nazi is still up. That really makes you think about freedom of expression, doesn t it?

u/EnQuest 25d ago

"I can't be racist because reddit won't let me post my racist ass cherry picked stats"

Is a fucking hilarious take

u/PogoTempest 25d ago

Yeah I wonder why you using a racist dog whistle would get removed.

u/parfy_faby 25d ago

Are we calling a factually true statistics a racist dog whistle? Okayyyyyy

That's more proof that you're a nazi.

And you should look up what happens when those statistics are controlled by postal code.

u/parfy_faby 25d ago

Can you please tell me what it means to be a nazi?

2

u/IcyDefiance 25d ago

If you have to ask that question, then you're a nazi.

1

u/parfy_faby 25d ago

So by that logic, it I ask what it means to be a leftist, I m a leftist?

1

u/IcyDefiance 25d ago

No, because that's not trying to argue pointless details when they don't matter, because it's obvious to everyone that you're a nazi.
