Was wondering through a shop today and found Gulf of America hats…whatever, queue eye roll. Then I saw an Alligator Alcatraz hat, proceeded to knock it off the rack and stomp on it a bunch. Then knocked half the Gulf of America hats off the rack now that I realize this shop owner is a piece of shit. (Im in a vacationy souvenir shop)
I think nothing of it, figures the employees will pick up the hats and put them back on the rack…
About an hour later a police officer walks up to me in a nearby restaurant and says he needs to speak to me. Turns out the guy was went back and watched the security footage to ID me…the cop says the guy wants to prosecute me if I dont pay for the hat.
I get down to the shop (its a 14 dollar hat btws) and the guy acts like it was a Gulf of America hat I damaged (obviously trying to misrepresent the situation).
Im now not allowed in that shop for a year, as if I’d ever go shopping back there.
I explained to a friend what happened a while after it happened, after having a not great conversation about it with my inlaws who think “the guy is allowed to sell whatever he wants”
After I tell my friend what happened, he says its the coolest thing I’ve ever done. I really needed to hear that after having a shitty conversation with my in-laws about how they think what I did was stupid.
Anyway, made me feel much better because the shop owner is a piece of crap, and is trying to profit off other people’s misery, and I will never support that.
People who claim “you just use Nazi to describe people you don’t agree with” while there’s literal neo-nazis and white supremacists in the government are Nazi-appolgists. Supporting Nazis and Nazi actions makes you a Nazi too.
It’s hard to trust people claiming so and so is a nazi when they can’t even properly define what a nazi is or how they know that person is one.
I’ll give you a tip though. Making a dark humor or offensive shirt/hat around a current event doesn’t make someone a nazi. Perhaps an asshole. Prick. Or some other colorful word you like, but it does not make that person automatically a nazi.
No, but it normalizes Nazi behavior, i.e. supports it. The intent doesn’t matter when life and death is on the line.
No it fucking doesn’t. You’re jumping to several conclusions and then making up reasons why you’re morally correct so you dont have to actually think about the nuances of human existence.
