I think they have a video or two at best before completion but they decided to waste time into going for 107 racing leagues so who knows if it will ever be done.

No, not as bad, but still plenty bad enough on its own. Not going to bat for the Nic guy (I don't know who he is), but let's not effectively downplay how bad chuds are by saying everybody who doesn't disavow them are equally as bad as the chuds themselves. Both still suck rear end, the chud just sucks more rear end.

It felt more like yours was a defence of allowing people you supposedly know/work with to be complete arseholes to others and shrugging it off rather than what you're saying here tbh. :shrug:

Fact is despite all Rich's lovely behaviour and beliefs, Nik throws the occasional "oh Rich 🙄" at him but is perfectly fine to keep working with him and grabbing the patreon cash. They pull in at the very very least £7k a month purely from that so it's in Nik's interest to not rock the boat too much.

If you read my post and took that message from it, that says more about your reading comprehension than it does about my post.

The point is, saying "people who are willing to work with Nazis are as bad as the actual Nazis" doesn't in effect drat everyone to the same extreme level of Nazis like people think it does. It makes the Nazis seem only as bad as the collaborators. It flattens out the levels of badness, and the homogeneity makes them all seem comparatively less bad. It's wrong to say "they're all the same level of bad" because it undersells just how extremely loving bad actual Nazis are.

I dunno, man, "People who knowingly work with and enable Nazis are actually Nazis" seems pretty straightforward.

Because the people who knowingly work with and enable fascists are, in fact, just as bad as fascists. Because that's fascism.

Left of the mouth has an ss rune and I'm sure from another angle we'd see a second one on the right. In addition to the ones visible in the first shot.

Fuckup my rear end, several people looked at that video and said it was ok to publish. That poo poo was on purpose.
