@jvl.bsky.social Wow. Regarding to this poster, I have good and bad news. The good: The poster was banned in the 2024 state election campaign as it violates the ban on the use of Nazi symbols. The bad: The AfD candidate in question is a criminal investigator in the German federal police.
Would love it if Sam Harris thoroughly explain how this is a smear and we’re all lying about this on a podcast. I’m sure there are so many other real problems we’re not discussing that we should be worrying about, if not for this “woke bullshit.”
When can we, by we, I mean the American people, the media, and organizations like Anti- Defamation League, stop pretending that things like salutes, like calling trump King, like siding with white nationalists, are not isolated events, but part of a consistent part of a person's behavior & ideology?
What I don't get is that the alternative isn't any better. Let's say we believe them. They didn't mean it as a Nazi salute, they just didn't realize it was similar. So we're supposed to trust someone who has no understanding of history and somehow thinks they're smart? *They* should be in charge???
