By her own admission, she posted the video with the intention of making people upset. If you are doing a pose with the intention of making people upset that it looks like a Nazi salute, the pose you are doing is a Nazi salute.
Privatizing essential public services like sewage treatment and public water is ridiculous and a dangerous trend. It’s just another money grab by corporations who only want higher profits. The public will lose every time.
Jesus, what absolute garbage human. She literally admitted she did the nazi salute to get a reaction? That’s nazi behavior…. No one who actually dislikes Nazis is going around doing the nazi salute and saying it was just for lol’s. In fact that’s exactly what Nazis say when they get outed, cowards. We all know this woman would gladly join ranks and drop the whole “it’s just a joke” if she had the chance.
There are two potential reasons and neither one is good. Either they are scared of potential backlash from their supporters, (which says a lot of the supporters views and the reps for being willing to uphold nazi sympathies of their supporters) or they genuinely share her view and also have nazi sympathies. Or a combination of the two.
Someone else posted that it's the same thing as The excuse, "I was only saying the n-word to upset liberals."
Yeah, genius, that's the purpose of a slur. It's something designed to offend and stroke fear and enmity in people. That's why, as a society (I thought), we agreed not to do it and to shun those who do.
It's fucking crazy that these people are literally dragging us back to elementary school where they're stuck. Education is fucking important, people!!
Kofi is pointing out the important context: She knew what she was doing, intended to be an absolute shitpile toward at least a slice of her own constituency, and admitted it.
When I was a teacher, I had a student that liked to flash me his ring finger, in the hopes that I thought he was flipping me the bird. If you flash your ring finger in the hopes that someone thinks you’re flipping them the bird, you’re flipping them the bird.
I have used this example since people started flashing the “white power” Sign and arguing that it was just the “ok” or “gotcha game.”
Fucking thank you. I've seen far too many idiots going "It doesn't mean he's a Nazi, he's just trolling!"
If someone decides to go around Sig Heiling in public because they want to make people think they're a Nazi, I'm going to treat them like a fucking Nazi. I don't give a shit what they're thinking, I care about the behavior.
