          I read the whole conversation, including the bits where you got mad at the other person for their source not being good enough, and then also their other sources for being in German, while providing literally zero sources of your own.

          I even agree Hitler did, very occasionally and often for bad reasons, do a couple of actually good things. Like arming Ethiopia against the Italians. But nobody asked you to use Hitler as an example and the question absolutely did not require it. Fucking hell you could have even picked Winston Churchill deciding to lead the fight againt the Nazis, he was a Conservative. I’m bringing it up because I think it illustrates that maybe your judgement on anything about the Nazis isn’t that reliable

          Maybe we don’t need to make concessions on behalf of fucking Hitler when we’re dealing with the actual return of fascism on a world scale. A real ‘read the room’ kind of thing.

          Literally that entire conversation was about how you people are incapable of having any nuance whatsoever.

          And here you are, unable to read the room and getting gaslit by the Nazis into thinking that a Nazi salute wasn’t a Nazi salute. GTFO.

          I hope your carbon is recycled into something more beneficial to the world someday. Like an apricot, maybe.

      The neo Nazis think he was, and that was his audience. That’s enough for me.

        Yeah, if it was anything else, it wouldn’t be so forceful. No matter how socially awkward he is. Stiff I can get as being accidental from being nervous, but putting so much energy into it… that doesn’t happen unintentionally. If his gesture was affected by anxiety, nervousness, or lack of practice, it would have been less energetic than if he was confident and practiced at it.

        There is no possible way he meant anything else, all efforts afterwards to minimize it are hedging his bets and gaslighting.

        I am Autistic and work with many other autistic and neurodivergent people, and this is not that at all. It was no accident, it looked exactly how he intended it to look, he practiced that in a mirror, alot. The hedging heart thing was also practiced.

        I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he had a bet going with someone that he could do it and get away with it. I don’t live in a bubble, I do hang out with conservatives, this is exactly the thing they think is funny or cool.

      “I’m all for people stimming in ways that make people uncomfortable”

      Oh fuck entirely off. If that person really is autistic, she’s an insult to the rest of us who don’t stim by fucking throwing up Nazi salutes.

      You can akshually this as a Roman salute, but it’s still a fucking fascist salute from a man with a long history of Nazi signalling.

      Stop carrying water for Nazis.
