        I don’t think it is. I don’t know if any context can help when taking a photo op with a Nazi pedophile.

          The list of people you are referring to is very, very, long. The internet is littered with pictures of respectable world leaders having a photo op before a meeting.

            Some of that different because they’re forced to have to work him. Afroman was under no such force. So, yeah I guess context is still important, but given the context Afroman still isn’t absolved.

      Yeah, that picture kills the appreciation of Afroman pretty much entirely - and I’m quite sad about that…

      I’m not defending Afroman here, and 2024 you don’t get the “I didn’t know” pass, but, dudes a weed libertarian, not to be taken very seriously in the first place. Seems like he wasn’t very politically engaged before then.

      Like Ron and Rand Paul, and broken clocks, and all libertarians, they are right twice a day, and they loooove crowing about it.

      Let ‘em. The idea he’s promoting in this case is correct.
