"There was an edgy teenager there posting on 4chan and creating racist memes! So now you understand why we have to exterminate thousands of civilians"

that accurately describes half the people I know in USA, meaning they currently post stuff like that or engage with people who like it because they find it funny, or atleast are willing to excuse fascist rhetoric to maintain some weak sort of social fabric they’ve created for themselves. Nobody wants to be seen as the guy who’s “no fun” when the boyz are just “joking around” drawing swastikas or whatever. And yea I’m shamed to admit I used to post shit like that forsure because I was stupid and I grew up in white supremacist America as a white man.

My point is that I’ve never seen so many people care about Hitlerites, while they should have been taking Neo-nazism very seriously they were drawing swastikas on portapottys, posting swastika flags on Facebook (it’s a joke!!1!), or the classic Sam Hyde worship … and then saying communism is the real danger.

I digress but I guess I’m saying I’m glad there ain’t no IDF going around some of these peoples houses, they wouldn’t even have to plant this shit lol
