    I’m not excusing behavior, far from it, but I’m not sure our modern problem children can be described with an 80 year old German political party. Far right, white supremest extremism is a now problem. These losers don’t care if you call them a Nazi, it just means you “fell for it bro/got owned lib.”

    Call them what they are, not what they want to be.

    He’s basically an edge lord 4-channer, Nazi saluting to: “own the libs” is sort of on brand.

    I don’t think he’s a dyed in the wool Führer-lover. I do think he’s a hyper insecure, spoiled, man-child with enough ties to the far right to idolize “anti-social behavior” and think he’s the hottest shit ever to pull off such a “based” stunt.

    A poser; doing loser shit opening the door for someone/something much worse because his idiot brain thinks he’s being cute.

    I think that it was less: let’s find alternatives, than it was fuck you government TikTok isn’t Chinese enough. It was a direct answer to the government telling us which social media apps we were allowed to use. Also, 100% avoidable if they’d passed data protection instead. It really felt like the government enforcing private interests on its citizens.

    Americans typically don’t like the government telling us what to do. It’s all fine if Facebook buys all the competition, but it’s another thing when the government makes the competition illegal because they won’t sell to zuck or musk.

    Honestly, Redbook was sort of neat. I doubt it has much staying power as it was really just a protest, but it was sort of a historical feeling moment.
