hE's HiTlEr!!
Every time. I lived in Austin in the early 2000s and have no idea how many "BUSH=HITLER" bumper stickers I saw. It was stupid then, it's stupid now.
- lazide 2y agoUh huh. How about we check in in about 5 years eh? And don’t worry, I don’t think he’s literally Hitler. Hitler actually went to jail when he got convicted, after all.
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoThis has been a definite problem with the rhetoric starting at an intensity of 10/10 and having nowhere to go. The other problem is that everything that's happened has had people actively diminishing it, to make the reaction seem more outrageous, so we're all numb to so much of it. I've thought of it as The Boy Who Cried Wolf, but that's incorrect, because there's always been a wolf.
- lazide 2y agoThe problem has been - what happens when the truth is so obvious, bad, and direct that many are unable to see it?
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoYeah. How do you point out the truth when people will believe obvious and blatant lies?
- lazide 2y agoEh, it’s even worse frankly. Have you heard stories about women (and men) who believe ‘they love me, they’d never cheat on me’ while their spouse is not only clearly cheating on them, but bragging to friends that they are cheating on them? That’s what is happening. And the more in-your-face it is, the more they’ll double down or even attack the people trying to tell them.
