Denouncing Hitler doesn’t change the fact that he’s selling motivational quotes from Hitler. “Acta non verba” dude. If I say I am a huge supporter of LGBT people and then cut checks to anti-LGBT organizations my words don’t mean shit. He is literally profiting off of selling Hitler gear. This isn’t complicated.
I didn’t say you were defending him. I’m saying this entire discussion is pointless. He knows what he’s doing. He isn’t an edgy teenager. There is no reason we should give him the benefit of the doubt when he is clearly leveraging the outrage to make sales.
It’s deeply alarming that he thinks there is a market for people who want to wear Hitler quotes. The sad truth is he’s right. And there are people who will wear these shirts just to “own the libs.” Or because they genuinely like Hitler.

I’m not defending him. My original post just said the title was misleading. Not inaccurate just misleading.

What if he just put this quote on a t-shirt and did not attribute it to someone.
Or
Those quotes are pretty harmless and it’s decent advice. Should we not print it just because of who said it?
Again, printing it without attributing who said the quote.
