Identity theft and confusion in the Philippines pre-dates Al Gore’s famous invention, and is due to the country’s colonial past. Many Filipinos share common Spanish names and consequently have problems establishing their financial histories, credit ratings and so forth. What to do? There was an article in the WSJ some time ago about how the Filipinos try to overcome this problem by naming their children original first names such as Hitler, Himmler, and other names that provoke faux horror among the Westerners (as exemplified here.) ‘Hitler’ doesn’t resonate the same there as it does here, where we’ve been fed Communist propaganda since 1945, while the Commies themselves, continued their mayhem to this day.
I won’t defend ANY of the actions of Hitler but I will say that Communist does NOT mean “antifascist”. The Communists were ok with fascism while they held a peace treaty. Woodie Gutherie didn’t sling a git-ar that “kills fascism” until AFTER Hitler betrayed his beloved Stalin. until then he and his buddy Pete Seeger protested AGAINST the US going to war against Nazi Germany just like good commies did across America.
