An Idaho man found himself being mocked online over the weekend after he was pictured holding a Nazi flag near a park that honors the local Air Force base.

An image of the man was shared on social media by Twitter user @AmberD1116.

“In my town, across from the park that honors our local AFB, literally 10 minutes ago,” the caption read.

The photo of the man went viral when Twitter users responded with scorn.

Many noted that the man would not have fit Adolf Hitler’s vision of the so-called “master race.”

“White supremacy is attractive to people like this who can’t get their self esteem anywhere else…the neo-nazi groups SPECIFICALLY target boys like this when they are in their teens,” Amber explained in a subsequent posting.

If there’s two potatoes standing in the corner, how can you tell which one is the prostitute?

Why are some people so enamoured of two ideologies our ancestors fought & died to defeat?

Hee hee, all this time I thought they were saying white power, but what they really want is white POWDER(ed donuts)!

Well, to be fair, none of the Nazi higher ups wer like that either, as the comtemporary joke went, Germans were supposed to be “blonde like Hitler, slim like Goering, and ripped like Goebbels.” So, this guy has two out of three right.

I’m half-German. I spent my childhood there. Symbols, as well as hate speech, are prosecutable. It was a stark learning curve to realize that in America, these things are protected under the First Amendment. Orgs I love and respect, like the ACLU, have to stand up for Nazis.

The problem is people like this are so thoroughly indoctrinated, you cannot even begin to have a conversation with them.

Much like problems with substance abuse, the first step has to be admitting they’re wrong, and that’s something they’ll never do.

Where the gene pool is so shallow it can’t be measured…

For many it has become a symbol of incels. They think the world has personally slighted them. Rather than reach out in a healthy way they get comfort from a symbol that stokes such hate in people’s hearts, while stoking some kind of fake strength in theirs. It’s sick. And sad.

He’s not even master of his domain.

He needs a bra.

I mean… has anyone shown that guy this picture?

Does he know his gut and his shirt are attempting to escape each other?

They would have been killed.

He, and those like him, are one of the major reasons I hope to NEVER have to go to/thru Idaho. The other is that dormant supervolcano that sits under part of Idaho. I am sorry you have to see that. It s/b illegal to display that flag so close to a US military base.
