    The fact that he and others are conflating a toxic political ideology with an ethnicity says all there is to say about their inability to understand the fundamentals of politics, language, culture, and science.

    I’m sorry, so was he advocating that fellow right-wing assholes “appropriate” the word nazi and use it as a badge of honor??!

        I love Catherine O’Hara, but couldn’t quite get into the show. You’re the second person to say that to me this week - I may have to give it another shot.

        This GIF is top shelf - in my top 5 I keep on hand for sure! It makes me want to give the show another shot in its own right.

          If this clip doesn’t make you laugh, then skip it. If you like this lip, watch the show and youll be very happy.

          Side note, Schitt’s Creek has one of the best renditions of Simply the Best I’ve ever hesrd.

      Yeah, for 1 the n word still obviously holds power, and for 2… black people know and willingly admit they are black. Nazi in this usage doesn’t mean white, it means supporter of a fascist dictator. So he would be admitting he is a racist who is pro oppression of others and prefers bowing to a totalitarian regime while holding no freedoms of his own so long as it oppresses others as well, preferably at varying levels.

      The n word means you’ve got darker skin and we think you don’t deserve equal rights/respect/treatment because of it.

      One you choose to act like, the other you are born with… vastly different terms.

        Also black people took that word back from their oppressors and use it as their own. If I were to call a black person the n word, that shit wont fly.

        Who exactly are they taking the word Nazi back from? Their not… They are whitewashing the word. Trying to make a horrific political ideology that killed six million people in a well documented genocide acceptable. They want those who identify with the same Nazi ideologies to not “feel bad” about being identified as such.

    The fact that I honestly can’t tell if this is satire or not says a lot about the current state of the world…

    The fact that I’m not doing much about it besides screaming into the void says more.

    I think all billionaires should have this symbol on their foreheads, especially those who are connected with AI lol. Well, it looks cool, doesn’t it?
