This kind of rhetoric (most of it; Hamas is a resistance organization and much of what they've been accused of has been proven false and Israel is refusing to allow any further independent investigations) is exactly what we've all been saying, and it's Marjorie Taylor Greene saying it?

Have I woken up in an alternate universe? Is the Mandela effect happening?

Literally that first part most especially: trying to explain to people by asking themselves to try putting themselves in the shoes of people from Gaza; it's a sentiment I barely see from pro-Palestinian democrats, but now MTG is saying it? Asking people to think about what it's like if they were going through this?

Also I want to mention, cause it bears mentioning, MTG actually spoke out AGAINST refusing Gazan children to go to America to receive aid.

Seriously, have I woken up in an alternate universe?

Yeah I'm not renaming my account. I like the number 88 and I'm keeping it. I am not a Nazi, and happy to clear up any misunderstanding.

In that case consider the fact that you will be assumed to be a Nazi until proven otherwise. And no I will not take you at your word.

I'm not changing. They can change. This is my name; it is a poorly made reference to the show Home Movies which nobody will get but me, and I like the number 88. I just found out about this dog whistle shit like last week and it pissed me off. I thought about changing my name after, but then I said no, fuck that. I'm not changing. They don't get to bastardize the number 88 which is a fun, positive number. It's like infinity repeating. I love it. They can suck my fat hairy balls.

Fair enough. Home Movies was a great show so I will give you the benefit of the doubt on that. Just know it's always gonna make people raise an eyebrow especially as like I said it also looks like 4chan naming convention. Just a very unfortunate look overall.

Literally everyone on the internet will assume you are a nazi. That should quickly annoy you enough to sacrifice a username but maybe it'll take more than a week. If you are participating in discussions about politics of any sort and zionism in particular, you should be aware that many if not most people will be assuming you are a nazi and responding with that in mind. You will get ignored/negative attention from nice people and friendly attention from fascists.
