          Your heart’s in the right place…

          But you don’t understand what’s happening and you’re just blindly lashing out and instead of asking questions you’re accusing people you don’t understand of being “them”.

          Like, it’s important people stop doing what you’re doing and understand why. Because your attitude is the same attitude that gets pointed at groups by fascists.

          I punched my first Nazi in highschool, but that’s because he showed me an actual swastika tattoo on his chest, not because he said something I didn’t understand.

            And yet, you are not explaining your position. They were selling nazi propaganda, and should be called out for it. No “what about” or “this is also bad”. We have a nazi problem. Fuck nazis. Fuck nazi apologists.

              They were selling nazi propaganda,

              Have you seen the tshirt yet?

              Or are you just going off the thumbnail from the article?

              That’s about the only benefit of doubt here and why I bothered replying.

              Quick edit:

              Like, if you haven’t seen it yet, go look at it, and then come back and say “yeah, not that big of a deal actually”.

              I can tell you about some of the reasons that Olympics was a big deal and why people would buy for reasons other than being a Nazi.

              If you already seen it and acting like this…

              We’re good

                Yeah, I saw the shirt. It’s not a swastika or anything, but it is celebrating the Olympics hosted by the fucking nazis, using the official designs from back then (I assume on that part, it’s what it looked like to me, as I am not knowledgeable about the decorations at the nazi olympics). So, fuck them.

          The 1936, 1980 and 2008 games all feature in the range. Almost like it’s a commemoration of Olympiads not the people who hosted them.

            But why the supposition that games hosted by Communist led countries are “bad” like the Nazi games?

              If you want to get technical, all the games are bad because they extract vast amount of resources from people who live in the host city and leave behind unusable infrastructure. Also, the corruption. So much corruption.
