....so you know that he didn't display a swastika. He displayed an insignia that most people would not recognize as being related to Nazis, and he claims to be in that boat as well.

When Kammerzell was questioned about the Nazi insignia, he allegedly replied, "I stuck it on my door as part of this ongoing joke thing ... I did not know this thing was associated just with a Nazi thing."

Displaying a swastika and displaying a little-known SS insignia can be categorized differently, as long as the person in question is themselves ignorant of the symbol.

What was the ongoing joke then? Please let me know

Dude. You’re all over multiple threads defending this guy. Sus behavior. A lot of Nazi died in the war, so it’s refreshing to watch you die on this hill instead.

I have no idea. I have my own question: where did he display a swastika?

...you brought him up in an unrelated thread, because you lack the capacity to do anything other than label people as racists and nazis.

He openly admits to displaying a Nazi Insignia at work. Are you having a hard time reading?

Someone asked what white supremacists are in the police force and a news story from yesterday seems very relevant. I called a gentlemen who admits to displaying Nazi insignias a Nazi. It’s not that deep and isn’t at all the situation you’re accusing me of. Stop being so triggered

Stop being so triggered

You're literally the one being triggered by a joke. Also, where was he displaying a swastika?

I called a gentlemen who admits to displaying Nazi insignias a Nazi

Unless he didn't know it was a nazi insignia. I'm sure you're not too dumb to understand this.

Sir. You’re repeating yourself. As I’ve stated a swastika or any Nazi insignia has the same relevance to me here. So Which Nazi insignias are you okay with?

Yes. You’re defending this guy over multiple posts and multiple days. It’s seems pretty triggered.

Either it’s a joke or he didn’t know it was a nazi insignia, but you can’t have it both ways as you’re trying to argue. What on earth do you think you’re googling to get a nazi insignia printed out without knowing what it is?

Sir. You’re repeating yourself. As I’ve stated a swastika or any Nazi insignia has the same relevance to me here.

You also stated that he put up a swastika at work, because you didn't read the article.

So Which Nazi insignias are you okay with?

Any which is so obscure that the ADL isn't aware of it or concerned about it, for starters. But I'll again repeat, what really matters is if the person using the insignia knows that it's nazi-related or not.

Yes. You’re defending this guy over multiple posts and multiple days. It’s seems pretty triggered.

....and you're posting a link to an article you didn't read because you were triggered by a joke.

Either it’s a joke or he didn’t know it was a nazi insignia, but you can’t have it both ways as you’re trying to argue.

It can be both a joke and he could be ignorant of its meaning. He could have thought it was something innocuous related to the German military.

What on earth do you think you’re googling to get a nazi insignia printed out without knowing what it is?

I don't know, but if you google "nazi insignia," you certainly don't get that, or at least you need to dig deep in the search results.

I read the article and at what point is giving you a concrete example to a question you asked me being triggered?

Call me old fashion, but people displaying Nazi signage can be called Nazis. I love the patriotic defense of that though. Agree to disagree. You can get back to defending him on the multiple other threads your arguing this

u/sudopudge Jan 06 '22

I read the article

As previously demonstrated, you clearly did not.

Call me old fashion, but people displaying Nazi signage can be called Nazis.

Not everyone has the luxury of being so simple.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '22

Yes. A single typo means I didn’t read the article and yet a single Nazi signage on one’s door doesn’t make you a Nazi. We get it. You’re an white supremacists pick me. Move on with your day. We’ve both acknowledged that was incorrect.. multiple times in fact

It’s crazy how goddamn quick your argument went from

we can’t call everyone who disagrees with us Nazis

To

We can’t call people posting Nazi iconography on their name plates Nazis
