Re: *Prompter Thread* (NO personal attacks, NO trolling)

On the one hand I think the girl overreacted by confronting someone about something for which she clearly did not have the entire picture

On the other hand I think it’s incredibly naive to bring a swastika-laden book out in public in the year of our lord 2021 and not expect that there is a non-zero chance that someone might confront you about it

    It's pretty telling that about 1/2 the people posting in here need their safe spaces even at doctor's offices where just seeing an unpleasant symbol can trigger someone.

    The lady at the doctors office was out of line and ignorant.


    You would have been justified saying mean things to her.

    Is this book non fiction? If so, it's not a novel.
    Lcsulla - maybe should reconsider what book(s) he brings in public.
    Triggered woman - mind your own business or ask what the book is specifically about before losing your shit
    Dr office - don't make people wait an hour, especially inside during a pandemic.

    Girl should have just minded her own business.

    But I also think if Jamie just said something like “oh shit, I didn’t even think about how that looks - it’s a history piece about [whatever], it probably diffuses the situation immediately.

    Obviously this girl wrongly thought he was reading something that was maybe a bit nazi-ish, and that was a dumb thought on her part if she took into context Jamie A) reading a book in general and B) going to the doctors office (do neo nazis even know how to read?! context matters, right?), so a quick little “woah, nooooo it’s not that kinda book, kid” would have probably done better than a “I like history” answer.

    With all of what I said above in mind, come on, Lee - it’s more than just an issue of an “unpleasant symbol” for a lot of people.

    Guess I am just really that into history....I wouldn't look twice at a swastika Laden book, because I would assume it is in someway ABOUT the Nazis, probably in a bad light.

    Unless it said Mein Kampf on the front.

    Guys if we could just tone down the personal attacks towards people on Ants like Drop suggesting it'd be unlikely to find a MAGA Confederate in a doctor's office it would be appreciated, that way we can support strangers jumping to assumptions of people being pro Nazi and accosting them in public. We need more friction in America as long as things that aren't said about us aren't perceived as being the case.

    This.


    But actually, I would have been so pissed at the drs office for making me wait an hour that I probably would have been so busy rehearsing the snarky speech in my head that I’d say to the doctor for making me wait so long, all the while knowing I’d never actually say it out loud, that I never would have noticed anyone else.


    If I saw a Nazi symbol on a book, I’d try to see the title and Google it.
    If it was a history novel, I wouldn’t think twice about there being symbols like that on a book about WW2.

    If someone had a naxi tshirt or tattoo, or was reading Mein Kampf, I’d have a different answer or opinion on who was right / wrong in Jamie’s scenario.
    But, no. I still would not confront because I am not going to get into a fight with a male neo-Nazi. It’s not safe, even though some in here think we should get in their face. If we all just used words, sure. But I don’t go out of my way to confront an unstable person that could cause harm to me.

    Agreed that the simple answer would be “oh, I’m sorry. I’m such a history nerd that I didn’t even think about the cover of the book. It’s about (and explain the plot).” But I tend to think of how I should have responded long after I actually respond to something that catches me off guard.

    If he was reading mein kampf I’d definitely say something. It’d probably be something smart ass like “oh some nice light summer reading?” Or some shit.

    This is more or less what I wanted to say

    I feel like I know Jamie well enough to say his intentions were innocent

    But if I did not know him, I would have no way of knowing that and would err on the side of caution, which would be to consider him a possible threat

    Jamie, could you make a cover out of a piece of paper or a brown paper bag to put around it or something? Then you can read your book in public and avoid the awkward confrontations. Unless you want to trigger the dum libruls

    Somewhere on the internet a girl is posting about how she stood up to a fascist and will be switching doctors because they allowed such filth to read hate material in their office.

    Unfortunately we live in a time (especially in more recent years) where white power nationalist Nazi sympathizer types feel more and more emboldened to be outwardly proud of their beliefs. We also live in a time where there is an overlap of the aforementioned folks and the group of folks who love to purposefully get a rise out of people by "triggering" them in public spaces. They are purposefully looking to be confronted.

    I can't say its all that surprising that the incident happened. However, her approach was just absolutely off the mark. There are so many other ways to broach the subject without making the first reaction flying off the handle and causing a scene. So yeah, she's an asshole for reacting the way she did.

    knowing how much racial tension there is in this country at this point, i'd have probably grabbed a different book for the doctors office lol, but this is somewhat complicated issue, for sure.

    Never mind. This is my perspective.

    As a Jew who had 2 Auschwitz survivor grandparents and who visited Auschwitz 2 years ago, I would be very upset seeing that anywhere in the wild. As much as I hate the word, it would definitely trigger me.
