    “Purebloods Stand Together,”

    “right of protection and preservation of … the vessels of the souls of my children.”

    Yeah, NBD, just a new cult religion forming in real time here.

        So, for the “seig heil” photo, three people have their arms up. Two of them have their arms angled forward (could be Nazi) but with clenched fists (not Nazi), and the third is waving. The arm angled forward with a clenched fist is reminiscent of the black power salute. If we’re inferring politics from stances, we could say these dudes are Nazi Black Panthers.

        And for the 14 words: notice the ellipsis in the middle of the quote. That means the journalist dropped some words to condense the text. Does that mean the writer is a Nazi? Probably not.

        Like other people said: not everybody we disagree with is a Nazi. They are wrong for a bunch of very obvious reasons, so focus on those.

          I have to agree - looking at the full quote in the article and ignoring the [and], I count 19 words, plus whatever was omitted. And that isn’t a seig heil in the photo.

          Is this a collection of idiots and (probably) some bad actors? Yeah. Do white nationalist groups recruit people of this kind? Absolutely. Is the term “Pureblood” troubling, given all the eugenic overtones it carries? 100%, though I’m willing to note the connotation of ‘not adulterated by artificial means’ too.

          The information in the article does not support this being a Nazi thing. Damaging and troubling in its own right, sure, but for different reasons.

        Although I disagree with the anti-vaccine movement and I hate that they’re undermining the public perception of science and all the vaccines advances brought to public health, calling them nazis or fascists is counter-productive and minimizes the atrocities and horrors the Jewish people faced.

      All these marks who will flood a court to defend their guy will also empty their pockets for him if he says what they want to hear.

        Doc saw his opportunity to diversify out and pursue his lifelong desire to be a preacher 😂

          And the Lord sayeth, pay mine announced tithe and follow their words. And so He spoke, very legal and very cool.

    doctor’s fans flood court

    If popularity ruled over what’s correct, we’d trust MW dictionary, and ‘emails’ would be correct for noun usage while ‘datas’, ‘efforts’ and ‘traffics’ is still wrong.

    Oh. Wait.

    And I’ll bet not one could pass a high-school science exam.

    It’s such a strange dichotomy that people who know the least about the how anything in the entire world works are the most vocal/confident about the bullshit nonsense they spew…
