If more people acted like Everett True, we'd live in a much nicer world. We've given assholes far too much free reign.

Um.

Does Ev have an Iron Cross on his hand?

Edit: questions bad?

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 month ago

Its the x mark from where he back handed the guy, the dotted line shows that

Everett true began in the early 1900s as in 1900-1909.

Nobody had decided to co-opt it for their shitty ideals yet.

The iron cross is still used by modern German armed forces

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

The cross pattée has many heraldic uses, but this is more like an "x marks the spot" like on a treasure map.

We don't just give them free reign, for the most part the world promotes being selfish.

Damn near everything we ever hear takes no one else into account. Living wage is less and less common, billionaires have all the money in the world and zero accountability, healthcare (Mostly US specific) is an overpriced scam with no guardrails, food costs whatever the fuck the people who control it tell us it costs regardless of production costs, housing costs way too fucking much, fake news is more and more prevalent and conning more and more fools.

Its easy to see why people focus on no one but themselves anymore, its just the way of the world, toxicity is winning.

Being massive assholes to people you feel are being assholes. No contradictions there.

The paradox of tolerance shows us that, indeed, there is no contradiction.
