Well that's the entire issue, isn't it? If he says he isn't a thief, then he's a thief who clearly isn't open about it. Just like Mike isn't openly a nazi, he's just a nazi who's lying about not being one.
Mike is "more or less" openly a Nazi if he frequents the nazi bar. Don't need them to outright say heil Hitler to see what crowd they promote and attract.
By that logic the word "openly" is meaningless.
I mean, if they're entering the front door, not a hidden entry somewhere at the back, it's pretty open. Like an open secret
And yet FUTO clearly attempt to keep up a false image of being the good guys, which doesn't seem like openly being the bad guys.
Do they? I haven't seen any comments from them about it.
