Of course not. It's apparent the bastard was constantly in a valiant struggle against his homoerotic urges--as indicated by his effeminate manner of dress--and arranged the murder of his former lover, Ernst Röhm, to refute any suspicions of homosexuality. Only a comatose newborn or Nazi sympathizer would say otherwise, so I urge all dissenters to promptly select their preferred descriptor.

Honestly just skip the alt check and queue up a permaban for the obvious rereg. Don't even bother to find out which psycho this is.

Why did we even pack 3 full suitcases of right wing online culture and communication on social media for a week-long trip?

Been following the protests this past week on Twitter and observing conservative reactions. There's an interesting schism going on because some of them just really hate Jews so the idea that "dirty" leftists are fighting with Jewish students is amusing to them. They're imploring other conservatives not to intervene because they're hoping these protests alienate Jews from leftists and collectively weaken their enemies.

Still others simply see satisfaction in leftists being the target of violence. It's similar to their takes on the George Floyd protests; the protestors are dum dums who don't know what they're protesting, they couldn't find Israel and Gaza on a map, they're simultaneously poor and rich, entitled, gonna get away with everything yet gonna be in jail forever, etc etc.

People have been cheering on 'frat boys' attacking protestors and I guess it's just a new iteration of proud boys in a way, a group that serves as a stand in for the wishful thinking of reactionary viewers in the peanut gallery. They wish so badly to be among those who get to crack some skulls but since they themselves don't have the actual resolve they have to experience it vicariously by those undaunted by consequences.

Now that's what I call a sticky situation
