I’m not sure if I’m way out of the loop or you’re a schizophrenic? Who is “you guys” I am just saying what I think is true, I don’t care about Notch, I am fully in support of ending racism and inequality too, but I’ve got no idea how you can link what you have and think that’s “literal Nazi” talk. It’s antisocial dork talk at best.
