Where was the outrage when actual white supremacists were flying actual Nazi flags as part of the Freedom Convoy. And they didn't just fly Nazi flags ... three percenters, don't trend on me, confederate flags, soldiers of Odin ... groups that are either far right, white supremacist, neo-Nazi or sympathize with these movements.

This recent example is a protester equating Nazism to Zionism ... it doesn't say they are supporting Nazism, it's trying to convey that Zionism is like Nazism. Like the story points out ... someone presenting an image doesn't always mean they support it.

Context matters and politicians are always ready to feign ignorance in order to send a quick message.

At the Freedom Convoy, white supremacists flew actual Nazi flags for one reason only ... because they themselves supported Nazism. And it wasn't just one instance in one moment, some of those flags stayed for weeks.

I was so pissed to see one of the convoy leaders wearing a poppy in the court photos. Those asshats actually embraced Nazi's and allowed them to participate in their convoy. Conservatives were totally cool with it, hell some even had lunch with literal Nazi's not far after either. Fuck them.
