And whenever someone uses "alt left" to refer to people who want the police to kill fewer innocent people and for there to be health care for everyone, think about why they are using that term.

This isn't directed at OP but the readership at large.

Call them out on it if they use alt left. Do you see alt lefties, whoever they are in their willfully ignorant head, marching around with torches (lol) chanting blood and soil? No you loving don't because they're not loving Nazis.

That's a cool design but looks too much like an actual swastika, if I saw someone carrying a sign of it on the news there's a 50/50 chance I would think they were a Trump supporter

if you saw a picture of that sign: a 45 made to look like a swastika in a red circle with a red line crossed through it; you would think the person holding the sign supports trump?

Watch this. All of it, but especially the last five minutes. Watch the Nazi gently caress justify his world view, and talk about how he hopes more people die at the next rally. Watch him say it was a success because no one on his side died and the "animals" didn't get out of the way of the car fast enough.

Then think about what it means to give people who publicly tell reporters they plan to kill others and want an ethno-state a platform on which to speak.
Also do your part and report one or two people for hate speech in the comments, holy hell what a shitshow

I saw the circle but the line apart from being a cross out also seperates the 4 and the 5. Because of it serving that function my brain interprets the 4 and 5, and the cross through having seemingly done its job already then gets ignored when I process the image.

After his series of posts I'm voting for either he's high as gently caress and has no tolerance, or he's hallucinating in some kind of weird dream where russian people threaten him to vote for trump, he worries about explaining native american sensitivities to foreign people on their own soil, and is apparently blind.

Or he's a most entertaining troll. I vote for the latter.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

His stuff shows up in my recommended YouTube feed and I watch them now and then. I think he does a fantastic job and is both informative and funny, all said and done, but his stuff seems a tad bit too rehearsed if that makes any sense. People like John Oliver for example at least acknowledges their audience and pauses, stops, laughs with the crowd, and generally interacts with the crowd in some way. But it always felt to me like Seth Meyers just read directly from a teleprompter into a camera. Just an observation.
