Am I crazy, or is this Bud Light-levels of corporate idiocy!?

First they piss off non-Nazis by saying they won't remove Nazi-speech. Then they cave to the backlash and remove Nazi speech, pissing off all the Nazis (who they obviously wanted to create a "safe space" for). But everyone else won't be coming back because of the obvious, mask-off intent...

Even if they didn't support Nazi publications, it would be hard to stay loyal to such an incompetent company...

At least they're trying to backtrack and weasal up to the sane side instead of just doubling down and saying, "Fuck it, yeah, we're Nazis now."
