Boohoo he lost an entry level job. He can go to KFC, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc. It's not like those are hard to replace, and chances are if he was on the line still it was not his career.

Somehow, I notice a difference between ignorant hatred of people based on government propaganda and hating the GOD-DAMNED NAZIS FOR WHAT THEY DID TO PEOPLE BASED ON HISTORICAL FACT.

Fucking Christ.

Swastika existed before the nazis and will exist long after.

I highly doubt being fired from McDonald's is going to be the ruin of this man's life.

Yep. By associating the symbol with Hitler you are showing Hitler respect.

Obama had the right idea with Osama - just dump the body and forget the guy. Do not honour him, do not associate symbolism with him - do not give him credit at all.

They didn't dump the body. They gave Osama a Muslim burial at sea. Or, such is my understanding of the official line.

Losing this job shouldn't ruin his life, but it is quite right for him to lose his job.

Oh, right, because an employer would totally hire somebody who was hot shit for a day because he drew a Nazi symbol. They won't.

Luckily for him employers do not have the right to ask why he was fired from his last job.

He lost an entry level job at a McDonald's''''' hell... can't even call him a burger flipper... as that would have been a promotion. It's not like he has to reveal and particulars to other employers.... and while we can ask former employers when checking work history "Would you hire this person again?" we can't ask specifically WHY they were fired. AS such, I hardly call his life "ruined".
Such heroic nonsense!

Guess what. Employers can't ask why the guy was fired from his previous job. Conflict over.

It's almost like you're deliberately ignoring that context is a thing.

So you'd rather just hate instead of learn?

That sounds like a book I read.... hmmmm...

That's right! 1984 by George Orwell where the population had hate week.

When did I say anything of the sort?

And you do that by associating the swastika with them... how exactly ?

Did they not use the swastika? Have I been lied to all these years?

Correct, the most we can ask are:
1. Did they work there?
2. How long did they work there?
3. Would you hire them again?
