Yeah, I think a pile-on was the best response there. Though as pointed out something on the rap sheet in case that kind of oopsie keeps happening isn't a bad idea either.

Eh, let's be kinder to ourselves this morning. Public opinion is pro-ceasefire, a majority of the UK is essentially on the same side of the protestors even if many Brits have been conditioned over the decades to frown disapprovingly at anyone holding a placard.

That comments section is why Twitter, another fast-collapsing kingdom where the public conversation is now dominated by self-important blue-tick melts with the worst opinions you've ever heard, should sink into the loving Atlantic.

As a reformed hand-wringing liberal, with an entire family of them, who is prone to occasional extremely drunk posting (thanks partly to mental health that makes me desperately want community affirmation, meds that make my alcohol tolerance swing wildly, and being a bit of a wally) I'm hopeful if I ever posted something so stupid I'd be able to recant it and apologise...

That said, if I ever did a genuine "gotta hand it to them" for the 3rd Reich, I think I would delete my account due to how mortified I'd be.

Since I haven't, you all get to look at my cats being cats instead.

I am absolutely gobsmacked you're all debating whether 'maybe Hitler was right' is even punishable. It should be a perma. Someone who's willing to say that, even insincerely, should not be welcome, ever, and the idea that removing them from the forum is considered 'performative' sickens me. For crying out loud

Now more than ever. The replies under a Big Tweet are going to be boosted bluetick-buyers who are 99% of the time the worst people on the website. Tangentially, been finding a lot of people who I thought would be more scrupulous are still ready to RT bluetick accounts posting poorly-source/framed or straight up incorrect nonsense (even if it's for leftist purposes), and it irks me terribly.

e: don't really want to add more posts to this but at the very least, for such an egregiously awful post, MB should be forced to make an apology where they explain themselves extremely precisely if they wish to continue posting here. I understand our IKs' inclinations in a general sense, but it was a VERY bad post.

This would be true if I thought the poster making the posted did it sincerely. I think, from context of reading their posts, it was a very dark joke in response to a very dark moment in time. And while I think it was a dumb thing to say & not at all helpful & that's entirely inline with a getting a 6er or even a week long probation, whatever, I think that it being a permaban is dumb. If I thought they were being sincere then obviously I'm happy with a perma but how many posters on SA would even be left if everyone who'd made a dark ironic exaggeration was permabanned?

you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to the nazis".
