At 7:30AM this morning I had to overhear two young white men discuss how being a Nazi is just an opinion like refusing to make a cake for a gay couple and it’s OK to peacefully protest against them but not if it gets violent.
This is why I hate coming to the office.
@jjg wait you have to work with these types?!
@eaon I think they are just ignorant. They both said things to confirm they don’t agree with those “opinions”, but that people still have a right to have them without violent repercussions.
I disagree when it comes to Nazis, or anyone else who makes killing people for things they have no control over part of their “opinion”.
@jjg right, I just haven't had a regular job in so long, I'm not used to being in an environment where a confrontation over this is not an (easy) option.
It always seemed a very bourgeois position to hold, you know, never looked close enough always assumed the bad parts are all in the past or outliers because it did not affect them directly. Usually I would throw a bunch of information of Nazi violence facts at them, but doing that at work seems difficult…
"being a Nazi is just an opinion like refusing to make a cake for a gay couple"
Spoken like a true person who has never been refused his cake nor the opportunity to eat it too.
@jjg What a way to start the week
@jjg It's impossible not to be affected by something like that! You will recover.
@jjg wait till they find out about WWII
@jjg gross :( I'm sorry this polluted your airspace.
