I had a discussion on an industry Slack yesterday with a guy because I called Elon a nazi.

The guy brought immediately the discussion in DM and there I noticed he was wearing a kippa in his profile picture so I asked where was he from...

And he snapped and started to call me a jew hater and telling me that I wanted to bring him to the gas chambers and all the usual bullying.

Turns out the term they are using to make this connection is called Holocaust Trivialization.

I screenshot the whole discussion, blocked him everywhere I could find him (as I am doing with all Israeli people and businesses to be fair) and kept going with my life while he was still spewing insults at me.

This guy is the frontman of the most important conference in my industry.

Keep ready.
