Not always, it’s the memes combining watermelons with “based” lingo, and for the most part people using them are fine, just not aware that it got started by nazis and is sometimes used as a dogwhistle

I’m unaware of the origin, in western europe it’s a synonym of support for Palestine.

But Palestine is based too.
I hate the Hitler ate sugar trope, I will appropriate Nazi memes and use them against them all I want.
It is only as evil as the user wielding them.

True, it’s a bit hard to tell sometimes though, in other contexts that is

I generally don’t believe in inborn discrimination, I don’t like punishing people for anything that does not come about as their own actions. I also had a lot of tolerance before, but it backfired. I feel that I need to be a lot more vindicative nowadays.

Yeah it’s like that for me too sometimes, on the internet at least
