I didn’t put the 88 in his username. I didn’t force him to praise trump.

JFC you have trouble even understanding a sentence. Do you know what a tautology is? I will explain to you, and I am doing this for free as a patch to what I can only assume was a bad education system.

  • The guy is X (no proof)
  • Every X is in bad faith and therefore cannot discuss with or about them.

It's a sentence that is always true and can't be proven false, because that would be discussing it.

I am not contesting he did put 88 in the username, I am contesting that it has the meaning you attribute to him arbitrarily, and based on which you draw your conclusion.

Stop hiding behind his cultural background just because it’s convenient for you.

Hiding? It's a better, simpler, more logical explanation that he said himself. It's not even needed, because a person could have million personal reasons to do that, but in this case this is it. If it's not convenient for your reality, deal with it.

If he’s talking to Americans and already stuck his foot in his mouth, he should have run this through his company’s PR department before making a username with 88 in it.

This is a completely different argument. One I might agree with. But "missed ambiguous message" is different from "be a nazi".

That’s your deliberate mischaracterization of anyone who disagrees with nazis.

Another tautology.

I wonder if you can even admit that both nazis and trump are shit.

Of course I do. My great grandmother got killed by nazis mf. Trump isolationist position on Nato can fuck Ukraine, where my wife is from, and endanger me too. Fuck your gothchas and assumptions. With love.
