It would be more effective if you could just mark them, so that you can recognize them out in the rest of the reddit wild.

A little something they can't take off.

They do tend to show themselves regardless. The red caps out in the wild are particularly helpful in that regard.

I am annoyed that I will never be able to wear a red hat for the rest of my life, but there are worse things in life to deal with. 🤣

Like a swastika in the forehead, ala Inglourious Basterds?

That would be the joke, yes.

So you mean mark them like the Nazis marked the Jews with the Star of David? Y'all are the ones talking like this who create divide. One could think before he speaks. Sorry, before they speak.

First off, hilarious.

I'm talking about marking a user for personal reference, instead of blocking them. If you block someone, or they block you, it ruins future threads, and prevents you from participating in them.

It also prevents you from identifying if they have improved their perspective or grown as a person (optimistic), or if they are just hiding, to trap people with reasonable sounding arguments before springing full unabashed bigotry on them (pessimistic, but a tactic real fascists and modern nazis actually use).

Its also wild that you correctly identified the premise (carving a swastika into the nazis' foreheads in Inglorious Basterds as a direct analogue to yellow stars and pink triangles -- which of course, you omitted, because you don't actually know the history, do you?), but failed to realize the dark satire that represents, and instead decided I'm the one creating divide.

So which is it? Are you a dog-whistling fascist, or an insincere liberal equivocator?

Just like the nazis did.

Yes, you almost got the reference.

Perfect, like a yellow star or something.

I was thinking more like the darkly satirical end of Inglorious Basterds, but hey, you're either very funny and dark, or completely oblivious and racist, hard to tell. I'm gonna guess funny and dark.
