I am NOT scared of butterflies. I just don't like being touched b̶y̶ i̶n̶s̶e̶c̶t̶s̶.

Because you are the arbiter of objective reality?

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 47m

If that's how you want to see it, not much I can do about that.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 50m

no, I was called a nazi, that's the subject of the post you replied to.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 58m

And I don't like being called a nazi so that someone can get a dopamine hit.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 13h

I don't believe there is anyone smarter than me.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 13h

You could have said, 'Believing he didn't know it was a nazi tattoo for 20 years is naive.' I'd respect that.

You might even add, 'Not knowing the totenkopf is ignorant.' I could hear that.

But you went with, 'You're a nazi.'

I wonder how much bacteria is spread around public areas from nasty ppl that go to the bathroom then don't wash their hands?

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 15h

In better words, in my experience the people who make me aware of their knowledge of nazi symbolism are nazis. Intellectually, I know historians and like costume makers might be more likely as well. And tbh, a lot of specific WW2 hobbyists I look at like civil war hobbyists and and that's not kindly

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 15h

Pbb because in my life's experience, it may be possible that non-nazis know what a totenkopf is and other such knowledge of nazi-symbolism but they never had any reason to let me know that. The people who I am aware of having extensive Nazi knowledge are mostly Nazis. And historians intellectually.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 15h

I don't know that. And I didn't assume anyone was a Nazi. That's actually laughable. I said I would be suspicious. That's not an assumption or accusation. That means I'd be questioning why they knew it.

If we can't talk without putting words in my mouth, we can't talk buddy. What's your goal here?

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 15h

Sincere question?

If someone knows a totenkopf by name, I'd be suspicious of them. I'd question why they knew it. If they knew it because they were history buffs, cool. If they knew it because they collected nazi memorabilia, I'd be alarmed.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, I'll say things against him now. I just won't say things I don't believe. But does my answer matter to you? Or is this just another dunk?

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 15h

So, it wasn't a sincere question? You weren't trying to get to know me, you were trying to dunk on me. To put me down to make yourself feel better.

Fine.

But I'd like to get to know you. What about telling me how dumb I am and my club sucks does it for you? Are you cognizant of the dopamine chase?

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 16h

Sincere question? Not including people I only really talk to online, I play pool a group of people in a league but I'm not in the league. I go to some of the happy hours after DSA meetings but I'm not much of a drinker so not often. Leftist gun club. Work and family and few other friends from past.

Is that Rage Against the Machine?

you can use alt text, I know it. Delete and try again please.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 16h

Don't try this shit. You said "such a sheltered life" don't pretend there was not an explicit comparison to your lived experience. I don't fuck with that dishonesty shit.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah one guy that reads a bunch of WW2 books. Not an employee. How many employees saw it before? How many in the process to put it on the shelves?

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 18h

How many people looked at it and just saw a skull and cross bones? How many people had to see it before it was on the shelves? Was every employee complicit in a nazi scheme? Was their ignorance worse than complicity?

J💀n💀 but spookier @thejono.bsky.social · 18h

I'm assuming this person is under 16, this is far from the first time the symbol has cropped up in "popular zeitgeist":

Not to mention how it's pretty consistently in films featuring Nazis.
Either a young person or someone willfully ignorant

Wal-Mart pulls T-shirts with Nazi skull logo

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is pulling a skull-and-crossbones T-shirt from its shelves after a Maryland blogger complained that the image was identical to a Nazi SS emblem from World War II.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 18h

I mean this kinda proves my point. How many people didn't recognize the symbol for it to get on the shelves in the first place. I'd bet more people walked through that Walmart than saw the man's chest.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 18h

You could argue I'm projecting my ignorance. I'd say that I understand people to have varying life experiences and expecting a majority of people to recognize an image out of context is a stretch.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 18h

the recognizing the name is based on a post I made saying I'd side eye anyone that knew it by name half-jokingly.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 19h

you got about 20 minutes to share the link, otherwise I'm done with your pathetic lying ass.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 19h

52 minutes ago. Clearsky is free. I was blocked by them 90+ minutes ago. Y'all tiring.

Narrator @narratively.bsky.social · 19h

I didn't block them, they blocked me. Check clearsky and it must have been pretty immediately after dropping this "proof" cause I never did and still don't see it.
