Did you miss the /s or are you a nazi?

Ah yes, do you agree with my demonstrably false view of the world or are you a Nazi. Classic Hasan viewer energy.

Okay, let's pretend someone stole his api and made him look like a hypocrite, why would it matter and why would you point that out? Being honorable towards a nazi is usually a nazi protecting a fellow nazi.

Have you ever heard Fuentes speak? He is an admitted nazi, not someone who hides it.

I point it out because I dislike seeing the side I identify with using the tactics of the side I don't identify with.

If the left wants to use misinformation and lies they are little better than Nazis spreading blood libel.

Additionally this strategy is incredibly dumb in his particular instance. When you misinform you are gambling that people viewing the claim won't attempt to look at the evidence. In this case the evidence is a single clip that is an obvious example of a hack. Many people are likely to investigate it. Many people on the fence will think you are liars, all Nick's supporters will reinforce their belief that the other side are liars, and many of your supporters will think you are liars.
