What about against the Russian military?

No, I don’t think banning the nazi salute will make much of a difference as far as hate group recruitment. I also don’t think it would be easy, at least in the US. Mileage may vary in other countries, of course.

Because, as I said, they find each other online, in social settings, etc. Shit, the Aryan Brotherhood started as a prison gang. Banning the salute isn’t going to keep people from knowing about hate groups because that’s not how they find out about them to begin with.

I’m not arguing against banning hate speech, I’m just saying that that alone isn’t going to fix the problem. We also need to figure out why people are drawn to this stuff. Is it poverty? Lack of education? Lead in the drinking water?

They can still easily identify each other online, social groups, clubs, etc. I would think that’s how most of these people get together anyway, and not from some rando on the street throwing up a nazi salute. Making the gesture illegal also doesn’t solve why people are this way. It doesn’t solve the problem. It just covers it up (imo).

I don’t know we do it, but I think addressing the root causes as to why people are drawn to hate groups or hateful beliefs would be better. Eliminating the symptom doesn’t solve the problem.

Brb, I gotta go take a Brontosaurus.

I don’t intend this to be flippant, but have you considered therapy to talk about why you feel this way?

Where did you hear that?

I see you’ve met my dad.

Russia is the only antagonist here.

Do you think Russia would honor that treaty?

I think you’re confusing Michael Fanone (dragged out, tased and beaten, had a heart attack but survived) with Brian Sicknick (had a stroke late that night and died the next day). To my knowledge, Sicknick wasn’t involved in any assault that is believed to have caused his death.

(Before anyone jumps down my throat, I think all the Jan 6th rioters are traitors. I just think it’s important to be accurate.)

What’s dalgona?

I think it’s the whole targeting unarmed civilians for rape, torture, kidnapping, and murder that people are taking issue with.

I’m actually a huge fan of it myself.

Recycle harder?

“… out of a window.”

If you were only wearing a t-shirt, I’m betting people were more shocked at your lack of pants than your tolerance for the temperature.

Stop eating?

Whatever you say, poop guy.
