      And I am not defending the choice of 88.

      If you say so.

      You are good, so anybody who disagrees with you is automatically evil.

      Nonsense. People of good conscience can disagree in good faith. People who praise trump and have 88 in their usernames are not people of good conscience, and I don’t think you’re defending him in good faith.

      do not try to reflect on the fact you are projecting your culture on a Taiwanese person

      They said it on an English language forum in English about an American president-elect. The account was two days old. If his judgement is that shitty here, it’s shitty everywhere.

      Do not reflect on what’s the likelihood a normal guy, with a PhD in physics

      Yeah, whoever heard of a PhD being a nazi?

      who built a great company that protects millions of people is actually a Nazi, and decides to show it because why not.

      Whoever heard of a techbro having nazi sympathies?

      Sit on your absolutely simplicistic assumption, because this reinforces all your previous beliefs, and makes the world a much simpler place!

      Nazis are shit. That’s simplistic. And true. And it offends you deeply.

          Do you realise that this is a tautology? People who accuse people of being Nazis without concrete evidence

          I didn’t put the 88 in his username. I didn’t force him to praise trump.

          Or maybe he used his own judgment which is based on his own cultural background.

          Stop hiding behind his cultural background just because it’s convenient for you.

          Everyone knows that everyone should behave and say things that need to conform first and foremost to the sensibility of Americans.

          If he’s talking to Americans and already stuck his foot in his mouth, he should have run this through his company’s PR department before making a username with 88 in it.

          The assumption is that “everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi”.

          That’s your deliberate mischaracterization of anyone who disagrees with nazis.

          I wonder if you can even admit that both nazis and trump are shit.
