It wasn’t a joke. It was quite literal. Stay safe, fellow employees, there are literal goose stepping Nazis in the streets.

How do you know from this little context? People are so jumpy nowadays, which will lead just to misunderstandings and bad decisions/witch hunts.

  I'm sorry - how does the OP know what? That there were nazis at the capitol? Because there literally were? I don't get what you're trying to prove with this comment https://www.vice.com/en/article/93wnja/neo-nazis-boast-about-participation-in-capitol-hill-invasion https://www.vice.com/en/article/93wnja/neo-nazis-boast-about...

    Read the comment thread please before you judge, this is the conversation: "I am afraid to ask this but can someone explain the "nazi joke" to me?" "It wasn’t a joke. It was quite literal. Stay safe, fellow employees, there are literal goose stepping Nazis in the streets." And the I said: "How do you know from this little context?" Turns out I was right, it was a joke about Obamacare, not some nazi at Github: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25813443 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25813443 Also I was right about judging, 2 negative comments that assumed I'd support nazis.

If we're on the topic of 'free healthcare' then with what we know about how the Nazis treated all their prisoners, with what they documented about systemically murdering disabled people, what possible context could this ever be acceptable in? Edit: as I've said in another comment, there wasn't "free healthcare" (which is phrased to make it sound like some sort of socialist utopia), there was mandated health insurance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_People's_Welfare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_People's_We...
