I thought that this experience shared by Michael Tager is worth reading. He shared this over on Xitter and I&#39;m pasting here for all to digest:</p> <p>&quot;I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, &quot;no. get out.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;And the dude next to me says, &quot;hey i&#39;m not doing anything, i&#39;m a paying customer.&quot; The bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, &quot;Out. now.&quot; and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. &quot;</p> <p>&quot;He was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed. Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like: &quot;you didn&#39;t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.&quot; And i was like, &quot;oh ok&quot;</p> <p>&quot;He continued: &quot;You have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it&#39;s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don&#39;t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it&#39;s too late because they&#39;re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;And i was like, &#39;oh damn.&#39; and he said &quot;yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.&quot; </p> <p>&quot;And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven&#39;t forgotten that at all.&quot;</p> Tue, 21 Jan 2025 21:18:19 GMT https://blue.feedland.org/?item=788367 https://blue.feedland.org/?item=788367 With concerns to #ElonMusk and his #Nazi salute that by now we've all seen...
