In case our non-Brits were not aware:
Previously a comedian filmed his girlfriend's pug giving a Nazi salute, in a hilarious style, and was charged with hate crimes
Yesterday a girl posted Snoop Dogg lyrics to Instagram and is charged with hate crimes
Context? PURPOSEFULLY IGNORED. Intent? NOT CONSIDERED.
This is using Fascist approaches to fight Fascism. How far will it go?
The other day an old friend of mine (who is British, working in the US) said that he considers Nazis and Capitalists to be "
sub-human". After a few days of thinking about it, I realized the full implications of what he said. And how horrible it is that he believes it. Classing your enemies as sub-human? In 2018? It's one of the most alarming things I've ever heard someone say. In our tribal era, I expect to hear a lot more of it.
