I mean sure he’s always been problematic, but he’s so meme-able because he’s always doing goofy shit. But being a Nazi goes a little too far.

    Dude was unhinged from the beginning. His early acts could be defensible because we can kind of agree with the words… but it was always about him. He couched it in defense of others, but it was always about “Look at me” for him.

    I would say that’s not a reason to take him out of memes, but it’s also not a reason to think of him as ever having been a “good person”.

      The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally any post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.

      More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.
