"But the danger is if something like this recruits anyone"
What if calling out racists actually encourages people to become racist!! Better not mention racism at alll then amarite...
Also let's just stop arresting people for crimes completely, what if someone hears that this dude murdered his wife and then everyone starts murdering their wife?
/s obviously but this is what you sound like. You sound like a bot trying to discourage this from being seen by appealing to people's liberalism..
I think it's fine. I'm just tired of every issue being black and white and the need to shit on everyone who doesn't see everything exactly your way.
He has a point. I don't think it outweighs the greater point.
Whats more black and white than a nazi salute. Whats more black and white than a nazi salute proejcted onto a nazi's factory, in Germany, by a German activist group.
The statue reads: In honor of the dead, and a reminder to the living. I've been to Dachau in front of this very statue. It's a pretty black and white issue. Saying his salute shouldn't be shown, and that it might backfire is a stupid point that everyone was going to dislike. Giving him a clown face would alter the photo, taking away from the fact the photo is genuine..
