Really comparing Jack Black to Hitler now huh
I picked a famous complex and nuances nazi, so it seemed apt.
If jack 'those subhuman palis need to just shut up and die' black wanted to be compared to someone less nazi like maybe he should be a nazi.
You know he doesn't think that right? I can guratnee it's a similar situation to why the US govt refused to recognize Taiwan as a country. There are larger forces at play.
Does that completely remove guilt from Jack Black? Absolutely not, however it's an extreme stretch for you to assume his thoughts AND compare him to Hitler for simply agreeing to the (wrong) mainstream (and highly likely forced upon him from contracts and such) view on the situation.
See nuance and stop blindly labeling people nazis, you're devaluing the word. Be specific in your critiques of what they've done/said instead.
This isn't the 1980s where the only source of news was corporate owned propaganda networks; there isn't an excuse for ignorance at this point. Jack Black chooses to support nazis. He is a nazi. That is his active choice.
Way to completely miss all my points and straw man my argument.
I addressed your points. There aren't larger forces at play. He supports nazis. He is a nazi. Maybe his friends are nazis and he wants to just go with the flow. Maybe he works for nazis. Maybe he believes his contract holders are nazis so he thinks he has to be a Nazi.
None of that matters. He's a nazi even if all of that is true.
What do you think a nazi is
At worst, he's a genocide denier and useful idiot
