They are not the baddies because of a Nazi salute. They are baddies because of shitload of other things. Which I'm starting to think the Nazi solute is a distraction from. I see so many posts about the salute and the "Gulf of America" and about assigned-at-conception gendering, and almost nothing about the executive orders that actually have implications.

I get where you're coming from, but if someone can get away with doing things associated with a group that's shorthand in the West™ for the worst people in the world, I do think that's a problem too.

Finally, someone who gets it. I've been documenting all of this outrage on Lemmy over the last week and I'm gonna blog about how much real things we missed in the meantime.
