  • There’s a lot of gaslighting lately to try and come across as more palatable to the mainstream audience with people saying stuff like it’s not a Nazi salute or people are too sensitive these days when it inappropriate comments.

    So there’s people who gaslight others, and some who are gaslighting themselves into trying to convince themselves there is nothing wrong with the people and ideologies they support. Which isn’t rare and often seen when it comes to support of celebrities who’ve been accused of bad things as an example.

    There’s also people who know they would not be accepted by Nazis because of their background, but still share a lot of the same discriminatory beliefs leading to some degree of fondness.










  • Eh if quitting or stopping use of products and services required perfect circumstances then nothing would be quit, and you might as well be saying nobody should do anything because of being labeled a hypocrite. Pretty much the same as arguing stanchly for apathy and inaction.

    Realistically though people cut what they can if a decent substitute presents itself. So when those rare opportunities come I say take it and quit products you might have issue with. Real life doesn’t often present perfect gift wrapped hypocrite free opportunities, so if there’s an exit take it. Better than inaction because of the hypocrite label dictating you doing nothing. A tiny step is better than none.
