I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

      Maybe you could *not* take my sober article intended to convince important people and attach Nazi words to it?

      Sobriety doesn't matter, 'convince' isn't operative, everyone but them is already a Nazi, and "Nazi words" is another lie.

      And even the Communists used it. https://www.marxists.org/deutsch/geschichte/deutsch/kpd/1918/tag1am.htm … (Supposedly the '68ers did too.)

      You may as well argue that "mainstream" is a New Left pejorative when Germans use it.

      I am just saying if you paint a swastika over something you want other people to read, saying "But Hindus!" won't save you.

      Right, and the '68ers won because they took such great pains to reach out to the George Wallace crowd.

      So your theory is that there is no disadvantage to tattooing swastikas all over yourself? Or what?

      My theory is that there's no sense in acting like they have the Mandate of Heaven unless you want them to hire you.

      So you've abandoned the whole "doesn't like swastika tattoos" population as not worth convincing?

          Does everyone who uses the word "class" have a Stalin tattoo?

          the people who confuse AfD tattoos with swastika tattoos are strongly in that category, yeah
