But it seems like if someone is going to be inspired by a diamond-encrusted swatika to commit hate crimes, they were already pretty far down that path anyway. I don’t think the jeweler who is trying feed his family is at fault.
“Hey I’m going to kill Jimmy tonight. I’ll do it with a knife if I have to, but I’d rather use this gun. It jams, though. Can you fix it for me? I’ll give you 10 grand.”
That would be knowingly directly facilitating an actual murder. The decorative swastika is NOT a weapon. That’s a big difference from facilitating an idiot who doesn’t understand that he is destroying his brand image by advocating for a hate group. The only thing he is murdering is his career.
Unless that one commission is standing between them and survival then I think we can say they’re slightly to blame. They’re a part of the problem anyway.
That’s a very valid perspective, i agree.
