Most of these people promoting the “secret Nazi” idea also didn’t know what a SS totenkopf was before the story broke. It’s an obscure symbol that looks like a lot of common symbols, not a swastika.
On the topic of bad history schooling, I don’t think my high school required history classes even made it to WW2. I feel like we covered the period from the pilgrims to the Civil War year after year though
Ah yes, my dear lemmitor, your detractors are just as ignorant as you.
Little known symbol that was literally on SS uniforms and depicted in thousands of images easily available online and in no fewer than 100s of war movies. At no point have you been curious enough to Google “Nazi symbols” or “Nazi officier uniform” hmm?
Smol bean imperialist Platner definitely had no idea what it meant when he was proudly doing Nazi shit and getting human skulls tattooed on his body.
Its literally just projection. I’m not even european and we don’t get taught about Nazi Germany in our schools, but even I knew what a fucking totenkopf is jfc
Agree with you but to be fair this is the US we’re talking about. I 100% believe that all of them are just as ignorant. I would bet money you could take 100 random Americans and ask them all “Which country were the Nazi’s from?” and atleast 5 wouldn’t say Germany. They’d be like “Uh…Russia?”
yes but did you consider anything critical of him is just politically motivated???

it’s literally in the very famous “are we the baddies” meme

It’s plastered in so many places on baddies but people can’t accept it was real or care enough to find out more.
Or are like these poor souls getting the parody (I think hell divers are parody still) fascist logos in big tattoos
