Correct. 🙂 Reminds me of when I wanted new tires & I was complaining about how some tires were rated for a criminally short life. I wondered which ones lasted the longest.

The mechanic then remarked that sure, they can make tires that last a hell of a long time & never puncture. But the ride would be so terrible because the tires would be tough, stiff, would work your suspension harder, and it would cost a fortune to boot. It’s not worth it. There are multiple material, usage considerations when making a product. Really makes you appreciate the experts in their various fields.

It appears to be deliberately playing with salutes that shouldn’t be used.

I forget the exact origins of the swastika, but I believe it was Hindu & it meant “blessing”. It was a sacred symbol, then adopted by the Nazis.

The Internet is a thing, so let’s review & (re)learn together. The swastika meant either “conducive to well-being” or “good luck & prosperity”.

It wasn’t just for Buddhism & Hindu; the swastika weaseled its way into many European religious sects & found in early Byzantine & Christian artwork.

It is clear we don’t agree politically, but I’ve seen the unaltered clips of that salute & it’s…idk it’s kinda fucked up & difficult to explain away. Terrible optics.

…concentration…camps? Poison gas showers, slave labor, cremation ovens? Concentration camps, designed to slaughter people en masse?

I agree, they were overcrowded because there were so many illegal immigrants. There were a few deaths, and even abuses, I read some of them. I’m not cheering for things like that.

But to label detention camps as concentration camps like Nazi Germany, that’s not even close to true. If we’re calling those concentration camps, I must say, they are the worst concentration camps in the history of the world. Or does that, ironically, make them the best? The concentration camps with the least deaths.

I don’t recall us going into Mexico & other countries, rounding up foreign citizens, and bringing them to the United States specifically to be killed in concentration camps as an ethnic cleansing.

Source for this?

All 5 of them. “We just don’t want to be put in concentration camps.” Just a little bit of hyperbole.

They weren’t thrown into concentration camps in 2016-20, and it is very likely if not guaranteed that they won’t be put into concentration camps now. If anyone tries to put them into concentration camps, I support them being armed & defending their rights to freedom.

There is a lot of ignorance about firearms, and by people who admit in the article they have not owned or operated firearms. If they are of sound mind & judgment & educate themselves on firearm safety, I see no problem with this movement. Knowledge dispels fear. An armed, educated populace isn’t enslaved. I want everyone who is good to also be strong, smart, armed, and free.
