That people have to literally dawn a swastika in support of nazism for people to recognize that they are garbage human beings is fucked up. At least literal nazis can still be seen as bad...

I was quite old before I learned the opposite of don was doff

I wonder how insulting it would have been to don your cap at someone back in the day 🤔

Except if they do a Nazi salute...

I think we can see from the reaction to the hitler salute, that cognitive dissonance (or flat out support for nazism) is a hell of a drug, and will produce an endless stream of excuses and justifications to avoid acknowledging/admitting the truth.
