Comment on Email came out of nowhere

Ppl keep praising his ass here like he wrote the bible or some shit when all he did was take what was already there and twisted it.

I have really bad news if you think this wasn’t what happened when they wrote the bible…

If you’re agreeing he didn’t invent shit, I’d recommend amending your comment saying that he did. No need to add legitimacy where there isn’t any. No pressure though.
As for gog, the deed is done and out in the world. Whatever they do from here on out, it will be with this burden attached.

Not even slightly and please don’t try to put words in my mouth, but I don’t particularly feel like going on about how no human creation is truly original or you know, defending a nazi right now.
Probably this will be forgiven provided they don’t do anything more indicative of actually being Nazis. I’m not sure it should be given the spectacular process failures needed to knowingly email out a bunch nazi symbology, their history of trans/homophobic jokes, their insanely miserable work culture… but it probably will be, much as all those previous examples were. It’s depressing.

Wait, they have a history of bigoted jokes?

But in a way, we kinda have to. I mean, are the nazis today the same as the nazis which started this movement or are they a separate entity and should be treated as such? Are all the nazi groups today are their own inventions and should they be granted the so-called ‘honour’ of having invented their particular brand of ‘doppelnazism’? Or should we reserve that for when one particular branch starts calling itself something else and only looks to have been inspired by nazism, but is something else entirely?
Yeah, history is a continuous chain reaction. And the problem with fixating on specific points as the start of something has the disadvantages of ignoring everything which lead up to it and disagreeing on which point to put an end to it.
With your point of view, nazism ended with the second world war and what we suffer now is something different. A new invention as you say.
With my point of view, the dude didn’t invent shit and just stole what was already there and now we’re dealing with more of the same, the major difference being there’s no new brand of terror to set them apart visibly.
