Sending all his love straight to Hitler

People have been saying “he’s autistic” and one, not an excuse, but also if bro is entirely unable to figure that shit out then why does he anywhere near as much influence over other people? Every excuse anyone comes up for this dweeb should be more reason to get him the fuck out powerful positions.

“Of course he stabbed that person, he’s incredibly violent! Geez why are you so mean!” Like bro what?

Yea, kinda weird how I'm autistic and have never done a Nazi salute, even as an accident

Are you even autistic? I thought Nazi salutes was one of the assessment criteria? No, it's not? Oh. So just for Nazis then?

I'm pretty sure that autistic people have as little excuse for doing it as anyone else.

It is not some kind of signal that you are born knowing or subconsciously learn from your peers, and people on the spectrum instead have to carefully analyse. People know what a Nazi salute is because they are shown pictures of Nazis performing them, and told that doing this is not OK.

If there's a written Manual for Human Interactions, this is explicitly in it.

As someone who was recently diagnosed as an individual with a touch of the ism..... I think it's just an all around gross misunderstanding of the disease.

A simple rule like don't do a Nazi salute because it means you're a Nazi is incredibly easy to understand. Not doing a thing that specifically outs you as different is like a large part of being high functioning.

Understanding why any modern person would want to do a Nazi salute is much more complicated, as the belief system is built upon a very skewed interpretation of reality and social mores.

I mean... does it really need to be said?

Generational Wealth hand-me-down.

I know why, I’m saying that those who make these awful excuses are bad at making excuses.

Ahh gaslighting. Yep. Yeah I remember this.

Smells like a turd circus.

You're all mocking him, but his face just saying that all the love he's sending, makes is arm really heavy. He's just a man of love.
