Yeah, I know. Which is why I wouldn’t vote for him if he was running for election right now. I can say that I enjoy the troll tweets, AND I can say that him platforming fascists, using fascist tactics on the homeless, and throwing trans people under the bus is wrong.
Recognizing he's a monster using Nazi imagery to "troll" and still supporting him is worse, actually
Please educate yourself on what resistance movements in France and Poland did with Nazi iconography in the clandestine newspapers during WWII and then politely go fly a kite.
Oh wow were the French and Polish resistance movements actively persecuting queer people too?
Not queer people to my knowledge, but they acted savagely to Jewish people and communists, especially in Poland. I think this reinforces my first point that resistance movements and leaders are rarely perfect. Our main goal should be to pressure leaders with our expectations to do what is right.
Rarely perfect and some not even decent.*
No fucking way you’re comparing Gavin Newsom to the likes of this, utterly disrespectful. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Ca...
You are correct. I am not comparing Gavin Newsom to the founder of Libération. I’m comparing his staff’s mockery strategy to some of the content in those publications. I’d even compare the strategy to the film To Be or Not To Be.
