I think it's fine. I'm just tired of every issue being black and white and the need to shit on everyone who doesn't see everything exactly your way.

He has a point. I don't think it outweighs the greater point.

Whats more black and white than a nazi salute. Whats more black and white than a nazi salute proejcted onto a nazi's factory, in Germany, by a German activist group.

a statue of the unknown inmate in Dachau which reads: In honor of the dead, and a reminder to the living.

The statue reads: In honor of the dead, and a reminder to the living. I've been to Dachau in front of this very statue. It's a pretty black and white issue. Saying his salute shouldn't be shown, and that it might backfire is a stupid point that everyone was going to dislike. Giving him a clown face would alter the photo, taking away from the fact the photo is genuine..
