If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you're not allowed to criticize.
Just FYI, this phrase originates with a literal neonazi.
And I'm using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.
Interesting fact, thanks.
As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day
Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.
Broken clock as speed isn't right or offset? Doesn't seem to work
For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.
Thanks makes more sense! Idk why the downvotes... Because in the case of an offset it would always be wrong and in the case of a speed change.
In the general case, with clock speed a and offset b:
If a=1, normal speed with offset,
So it works for any multiple of 12h offset (ie no offset)
If a≠1,
It isn't always in a day, so you can end up having to wait multiple days for it to be right
I've always heard the saying as "a stopped clock."
What about an arm wave? Same rules apply?
Sure. But context matters. I doubt everyone would have gotten too riled up if he was hailing a cab instead of showing alignment with neofascist ideals.
If it doesn't 100% look like a Heil, and isn't repeated twice, after buying one's way into influence over a blatantly xenophobic candidate with a record of racism, sure.
Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.
I mean, the phrase was made because they're pussies who can't handle criticism of their speech. In this use the "not able to crtisize" is literally having your ability to speak shut down.
