@prinkasusa Ummm... it's bc no one is kind or polite to men unless they need or want something from him.

Men are kind and polite to women all the time without flirting having anything to do with it.

Women are not kind and polite to men until they need something from him.

@SZade15 Israel destroyed over 90% of the buildings used by Hamas to commit terror on Israelis (and on their own people), but managed to do it while killing less than 4% of the population.

She's more at risk from her own 'government' than she is from Israel.

They need a real gov't.

@DanielleA34203 @BobT854 @PollTracker2024 @SarcasticCupcak Ah, so you bought into the, "actually, he got it bc he is a nazi," narrative. I know plenty of folks that were in combat that don't know what their tat means. Many don't even remember getting their tat.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@adamemedia1 Factually correct. Also worth noting how many opportunities there were for Palestine to ACTUALLY exist, with MUCH more land, that they declined over and over in favor of elevating Hamas to power (how has that worked out for the people?).

Even Hosni Mubarak says so.

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I ain't even mad, I just can't get to the same place you're at with the info I have.

We're like 99% the same position on everything else ;)

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I know plenty with tats that they have no actual idea the meaning of, or that don't fully understand what they could mean or be linked to.

I also know plenty that don't even remember getting those tats.

I will look at any evidence you have that he knew and chose it.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I honestly don't even know what storyline you're referring to.

I shared my very real experiences and observations from working in Afghan for two years, and what I know to be true about young people that were in combat.

Those were my experiences, not linked to any story.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 That said, like I told you, you are free to form your opinions how you choose.

Just don't ask me to do the same.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I'm not even trying to convince you. I am just explaining how I came to my own conclusions.

You have 'seen the type,' but you have no evidence that he is actually that type.

You're judging, assigning a label, and assuming, just like so many others.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I don't like him or dislike him.

I just don't see any info that proves in any way that he intentionally got a nazi tat.

Just looking at it objectively, is all.

I think it's the other way around - you don't like him, you've convinced yourself you know who he is.

@johnnyk2013 @CoastalBaseball @thestrutpodcast Why would we be interested in buying just one when we've got back to back, AND it was the last CWS at the Blatt, then the first CWS at the new field? More to come, too, hopefully!

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I apply the same standard to forming my opinions on just about everything, and I am not willing to lower that standard.

An interest in history is not evidence. Saying he has lied before only proves he is a human, and you have no way to know he got it intentionally.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 Literally none of those things is in any way evidence that supports the assumptions you're making.

I'm not a Mainer, and I don't really care if Platner wins or not.

I am just not going to make bad assumptions and use them to justify judging folks.

@svdate The ring girls are all going to be dressed as walking Flag Code violations.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 You are free to form your opinions on folks how you choose, but I won't be convinced that an assumption is proof - esp when you're talking ab somebody making an informed choice to be pro-Nazi withouth any actual evidence to support it.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I don't form my opinions/perceptions of things based off of assumptions.

He just as easily could have picked a design off the wall that looked scary.

Without knowing, I'm not going to assume one way or the other, making it a non-issue (for me, at least).

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 What evidence/info are you basing that off of?

How do you know that he knew what it was, or what his motivation was in getting it?

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 I didn't say that at all, though I do acknowledge there's inherent hypocrisy in an 18 yr old going to war but not able to buy a beer, for example.

[Shogun of Harlem @Bearded_Shogun]

@DBistoli @mattyglesias @avrilbradley23 You're misunderstanding me.

Getting bad tattoos is so common among combat troops that it's a trope in movies.

I believe that's why he got it, not bc he is a nazi.

IF he had gotten it bc he believes in/supports nazi BS, it'd be different.
