The exact phrases in question are:

1. Black lives matter.

2. Trans rights are human rights.

3. No nazi bullsh*t.

Phrases 1 & 2 are well-recognized political slogans, and I don't like some of the organizations that have very vocally rallied behind these slogans.

Do you think that makes me a nazi? And if not, how welcome do you think this makes me feel?

You seem to be applying some kind of modus ponens rule to this list. To me, they read disjointly; you can agree with the status quo regarding police violence, and that trans people should not be welcomed in society, and still not follow Nazi ideology.

Respectfully, you’re dodging part of the question.

How would you feel if my org stated “all lives matter” and pretended not to see the problem?
