How is it possible to “never forget” if you’re not allowed to remember?
Ever wonder why the background of the Nazi flag was Red?
Or sold Che t-shirts.
I had a Hillary loving Soccer Mom pull up behind me at a Red Light and flip me off because she didn’t like my TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plate.
Her Daughter who looked to be about 12 Years Old was sitting in the passenger seat taking a picture of my Plate with her iPhone.
The Woman seemed to be embarrassed when I waved back at her. She sheepishly waved back with her hands on top of the steering wheel. I guess she figured I wasn’t looking in my rear view mirror when she thought she was being cute.
No, why is it red?
+1. There’s a mex guy who works with my son. The subject is the swastika and WWII came up in conversation with some others and this mex guy didn’t know that the swastika had been used by the Nazis. They showed him a picture of Hitler and he had no clue who he was.
According to Hitler, the Red in the Nazi flag represents Socialism, so basically he lifted it from the Communists.
Ah, well that’s perfect for Antifa too ... in spite of their claims to be pure anarchists.
When we were kids, I hung a nazi flag that my grandfather had captured from a pole on the neighbor’s garage. That was supposed to be the enemy fort. I can still hear my mother and the neighbor’s mother come screaming out of the house. They tore it down. Straight to the burner barrel it went.
I agree.
Thanks. Glad we agree on this.
That seems so amazing to me.
We did grow up in a period where movies and popular culture mentioned him, as a very bad character. We also learned about him in our schools.
Native Americans and some Asian cultures also used the swastika.
Perhaps he has seen the Native American one around, and it didn’t mean the same thing to him.
It kind of a good example of how people react differently when they see the same thing.
Not as triggering as the Confederate Navy Jack
Don’t forget Che Guevara. Then she’d be considered really cool.
Who shoots somebody for a $100 pair of sneakers????
I overheard a conversation in which a young, college-educated woman expressed shock upon learning that we nuked Japan in 1945.
"Why would we do that? They're our friends!"
(facepalm)
Since it was the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor I can understand her confusion.
