The $14.88 sale is free advertising. Plus the guy can say it's just the woke trying to cancel him when he gets his Fox News interview.
I mean to some extent maybe, but what is the alternative? Not call a Nazi out for being a Nazi?
I already don't shop there and I tell people not to shop there. Bigger question to me is why is a subreddit that is still cosplaying as progressive, allowing ads for a Nazi? Or anywhere else. That's the bigger fish. Pressure people to stop allowing Nazis to advertise.
I'm saying that's why he did it. It's guaranteed to be talked about and he can pretend to not know what he did. There's nothing wrong with calling it out and telling people not to shop there. It's actually a good thing.
I agree, but I do think he legit did it as both a dog whistle to his fellow Nazis and to some extent bc he sees controversy for his store as a good thing.
Most of the people who would choose not to shop there probably already stopped shopping there after the Jan. 6th stuff. Rather than give him too much attention, at this point I think it's better to start going after people who continue to associate him.
He's made his preferences pretty clear. If you want to be a Nazi, nothing I can do to stop you other than continue to not shop at your store. With your preferences so clearly stated though, I do have to wonder why other businesses that I rely on are continuing to associate with you and help you advertise.
Is the local paper that includes flyers for Rouses saying that they're ok with Nazis as long as they pay? What about the TV and radio stations that continue to run ads? Reddit loves to pretend they're still a liberal space despite all the evidence to the contrary. Here's more evidence, so why are you allowing a Nazi to promote himself using your platform?
