How many Nazis do we even have on this board, by the way?
I think there's a few. There's definitely a Swedish Nazi.

I said something nice about you!![]()
@Defiant47: It's most likely your avatar.
I think it would take a very small portion of the population to be educated enough to know that it is Erwin Rommel, but sufficiently uneducated as to not know of his impeccable integrity and anti-Nazism views.
Which is weird, because I always thought Rommel was most famous for (besides North Africa) his counter-Nazi sentiments.
One thing I'm really curious to know is how do people know who my avatar is?

The Moderators here (not going to name some of them) are nerd-bullies enforcing nerd like games. One of them actually treats us like we are supposed to be employees in a workplace. Quite odd there because I had thought that all of us came here with the intention to escape the stuffy environment of our jobs, schools, and/or in some cases - among our friends and family IRL.

Great read.
I have to say I fail to see what this have to do with us having to always be obedient to the social hierarchy in here. When in fact the majority of us rest on the behalf of the few that dictate what formula that we all have to abide by.
I guess you are right by your intended quote - even though it is entirely about something else - that we are merely an extension of the few that go about making a mess of trying to mold us into something where everyone can showcase their predetermined, but yet, acceptable stereotype in a theater of banal self-deprecation.
Yeah, I admit that that was nice sound bite moment that had been stripped of its context. But, if you're not nit picky, then one could say that the quote quite aptly describes the fact that many people construct their identities and habitus through their experiences within the work place. Hence the occasional demands that you always be obedient to the kind of social hierarchy they have at work.
