Obligatory “not today” disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.
At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn’t going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.
Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it’s never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you’re not a nazi.
TL;DR: Didn’t know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute
@Blamemeta Would you say the same to people in 1932, before Hitler was elected?
He definitely would. Dude is so sheltered or allowed to be so wilfully blind that he doesn’t even know that neo-nazis exist and are a significant problem and he’s calling OTHER people privileged 🤦🤯
Edit: I read on and found out that he was just a fascist pretending that he and his buddies are just misunderstood normal conservatives 🤦
@Viking_Hippie 99% of the time when people try to nitpick the definition of Nazis like this, they’re Nazis.
That’s very true and I am intellectually aware, but I have an annoying habit of sometimes being overly optimistic when it comes to assuming good faith so that I miss some that should be obvious lol.
Then again, it’s usually the me calling them an idiot rather than a liar, so they don’t get a pass either way 😁
Maybe. Lots of things had to happen before the Nazis went full Nazi, but there were some warning signs. Lots of Jew hate, talk about the “Jewish problem” (their words, not mine) and they were an actual German party at the time. Hard to tell with an alternate reality.
@Blamemeta You mean like the Republican party is doing about transgender people right now?
Children are not able to consent a tattoo, let alone hormones that can sterilize them. Do you not understand consent, because I think you don’t.
@Blamemeta your completely off-topic incoherent reply means nothing but it does tell me you’re a nazi since it’s a nazi talking point at the moment. Toodle-oo!
You mentioned the “persecution” of trans gender people.
