Saying slurs doesn't mean you believe in a particular ideology. He may have just been saying them to be edgy (unless there is further evidence I have missed).

- gadders 4y agoYou must not listen to politicians.
- throwway120385 4y agoI've been to several county council meetings as well as committee meetings for different interest groups in my locale. I know it looks like they don't get anything done but it's actually REALLY complicated because literally everyone is a stakeholder. The councilors that I've seen are not bad people and they don't try to lie. You're painting with a really broad brush if you think all politicians do nothing.

- qingdao99 4y agoAntisemitism is not exclusive to Nazism at all. This is a news article. They don't just write things for no reason. They wrote "Antisemitic slurs" because they saw Antisemitic slurs.
- well_actulily 4y agoPerhaps you meant to reply to a different comment. I was responding to the previous commenter's apparent attempt to explain-away antisemitic slurs as mere "be[ing] edgy" rather than being indicative of antisemitic belief, not trying to specifically nail down this alleged leaker's specific political affiliations.
- qingdao99 4y agoYou must not have spent a lot of time online in spaces with edgy teenagers. It truly is just about being edgy a lot of the time.

- eldritch_4ier 4y agoHe doesn't need to seek any redemption from people like you. You and others like you are thankfully nothing close to being a moral authority. You have more in common with the christian fundamentalists who thought saying "hell" in music was satanic than you think, and just like them it only represents how closed minded you are to all the ways people can safely express themselves.

- qingdao99 4y agoIndeed - edgy teenage online humor.
- krapp 4y ago... by teenagers who inevitably grow up to be racists. And the gunman was not online at the time, and likely not a teenager. I don't know why you've decided to be the person defending the art of bigotry in this thread but maybe you should find a more productive use of your time.
- qingdao99 4y agoIt's not defending bigotry to state that Antisemitism is not exclusive to Nazism.

- chucksta 4y agoYou've never said something off color to get a rise from someone? I've said some terrible things but am largely a good person. No one is perfect.
- mthoms 4y agoOkay, but after saying things like that — the onus is on him to prove he didn't mean it, or that he's sincerely sorry. I don't want to live in a world where people who say racist taunts are given the benefit of the doubt by default.

- eldritch_4ier 4y agoHave you ever even jokingly mentioned "seizing the means for production"? I guess you're a communist of the same ilk that killed a hundred million right? Of course not, you're just a moral puritan. For the record, I and many others have the levity and intellectual capacity to poke fun at a lot of edgy topics without being subscribed to them. Maybe you lack that capability and just project that on others?
- jcranmer 4y agoI would say Popehat's law of goats applies: even if you say you're only fucking goats ironically, you're still a goatfucker.
- mayormcmatt 4y agoHaha, thank you for this -- I was uninitiated to the saying.
- eldritch_4ier 4y agoThis doesn't make any sense in actually real humans. Of course you can make edgy jokes you don't believe. This is clear to everyone in society except a rotating cast of puritans, where a decade+ ago they fundamentalist christians, now they are fundamentalist progressives.
- rootusrootus 4y ago> you can make edgy jokes you don't believe Sure, but that does not require everyone else to believe your "I'm just being edgy" explanation. It's reasonable to take you at face value.
- toss1 4y ago>>...doesn't mean you believe in a particular ideology It sure as hell means that you more than tolerate that "ideology", and are happy to enable and encourage abuse and worse of the targets. IOW, just because you claim to be doing something "just for the lulz" or "to be edgy", does not get you out of being rigltly judged to be, at best, an asshat
- chucksta 4y agoasshat sure, I think everyone has been there. Neo-nazi? no.

- libraryatnight 4y agoTeenage edgelord logic isn't panning out, it doesnt matter much to me anymore if you mean it, are being ironic, or whatever bit of plausible deniability they hide behind. Its making the world an actively worse place whether they believe the things they say or not.
