  • Having worked stock in a grocery store, this is part of it. After asking alot of different people at different levels, the consensus is that shelf space is also paid for by many brands, and what space goes to who is decided way above the store level. So once in a while the stockers get paperwork that moves a ton of stuff around, and no one who works in that location has the authority to say no. Sure, sometimes a manager will do that anyway, but they always have a reason, and it’s usually something about the reality of the store configuration, like not putting too many cold items near warm areas, to keep humidity down and reduce spoil.









  • The statistical inclusion of fascists in the mention of voluntary military recruits absolutely is reality, having spoken with the family I have who are currently serving, who are seeing and speaking with the new recruits coming in to the armed forces. It’s a topic of discussion at family functions. You trying to discredit my point of view by attacking my motivation is a poor but recognized debate tactic. My personal view of the military is not a factor in my original statement anyway. Do try to stay on the point, even of you fail to properly read and understand the statement. I have great respect for the people who serve the country through inclusion in the armed forces, and their willingness to put themselves in the way of harm to provide a better life for the people that are not.

    As for your second argument, the word nazi is not some slur I’m using against a group I don’t like, it’s a very real state of political view that absolutely survives and arguably thrives in many places in the U.S. I may not use the term ‘Neo-Nazi’ to discriminate between past and present, but that doesn’t lessen the justification for the application of that label to those who espouse the same beliefs as historical Nazism. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, being loose in my use of the word Nazi. I am refusing to allow apologists to discourage the use of a term that rightfully brings to mind the full impact of the beliefs held by those to whom the term Nazi applies to. I was taught by my grandfather what a Nazi is and why men of character cannot accept such views to become enshrined in the hearts or heads of those around him.
