Even if these LARPers think of what they are doing as a joke, it's pretty sick on their part. Unmistakably offensive antisemitic comments that they send should not be taken lightly.
No, I'm not asking the government to ban them as hate speech. But moderators of the web sites that they post on should be diligent in policing them to the best of their capability.
this is really just a twitter and 4chan channel phenom...I understand what you’re saying.. and I was initially appalled. Once I was explained who some of the players were, it made a bit more sense. Can a semite be anti-semetic?
For ex: the use of the triple parentheses... as designating members of the tribe... is now also being used by the people they’re denigrating, to counter the slur. However, a few of the individuals who were originally using it on twitter were jewish, having found it on actual anti-semetic websites...and found it funny. So much of this is being spoofed.. and amped up for effect.
My point being.. while there are actually a small group of neo-Nazi’s on the internet... there is a much larger group of merry pranksters who find the whole thing hilarious, and use the memes for their own devices. From what I observe, they see Trump as the ultimate device for breaking the political correct speech codes... and follow suit by creating memes and puns directed at anyone who takes offense at anything.
