I was buying some Navratri decorations once and bought this giant swastika with a red background. I open up the package and find out it's a giant nazi flag. :doh:

I'm sure it happens to people all the time.

it's just like the lab leak poo poo and every other inquisitorial logic bullshit authorities pull. If they say 'no we didn't do this' they're lying. If they ignore the fake accusations they're clearly too scared to reveal how angry and scared they REALLY are. If anyone from China says 'what no I live there and this isn't happening' they're brainwashed agents of the state. There's a million options to use as long as it's never 'maybe this didn't happen then'.

Hitler was, by far, the most talented dancer in his crew. Someone who was “…mesmerizing to watch. He had a looseness and a fluidity that defied physics. [He] was incredibly handsome, tall, lithe, muscular, with beautiful, smooth skin, big teeth, and a great smile. …And all he did was dance.” Hitler soon became the star attraction of the group. The other dancers would warm up the crowd before he would make his grand entrance — usually with the crowd chanting in a wild frenzy, “Go Hitler! Go Hitler! Go Hitler! Go Hitler!” Needless to say, because of Hitler the group won many dance competitions, which, in turn, afforded them increased notoriety.

At this point you may be wondering: Why would someone name their child Hitler?

Part of the reasoning has to do with the way black people in South Africa choose names. From colonial times through the days of apartheid, black people were required to have an English name in addition to their African names. African names were carefully chosen and carried deep personal meanings. English names, likely required so white people could pronounce them, were chosen at random. They were usually picked from the Bible, based on a Hollywood celebrity, or even because of a famous politician in the news. In fact, some names, in addition to Hitler, included individuals named Mussolini, Napoleon, and Bruce Lee.

We also need to understand that there are many histories, and they are all taught in different ways. In many educational systems, history is mostly taught as a bunch of facts to be memorized, regurgitated on a test, and then inevitably forgotten. Kids learning about World War II in South Africa were not being taught to think critically about Hitler, anti-Semitism, or the Holocaust. Neither were they learning that the racist policies of apartheid were inspired by the racist policies of the Third Reich. So in that context, the name Hitler would not carry the same offensive connotation for South Africans as, for example, the name Cecil Rhodes would.

With increased notoriety, the group started being booked in the suburbs. This change meant that they were DJ’ing more and more for white people, and thus came the invitation to perform at the King David School—a Jewish school.

The school was hosting a “cultural day” (a diversity program, so to speak), and The South African B-Boys, was one among Greek dancers, flamenco dancers, Zulu musicians, and many others. The B-Boys were anxious and ready to entertain an entire hall filled with Jewish kids. They start playing, the crew starts dancing, and by all accounts everyone present—the teachers, the chaperones, the parents, and the hundreds of kids—were having a great time.

The crowd was finally ready, and they were introduced to the star performer with a cheer of “Give it up and make some noise for HIIIIIIIITTTTTTTLLLLLLLEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!”

Hitler was inspired by the Turks

speaking of which, holy poo poo

quote:

In 1899 John Hay, U.S. Secretary of State, asked the American ambassador to Ottoman Turkey, Oscar Straus, to approach Sultan Abdul Hamid II to use his position as caliph to order the Tausūg people of the Sultanate of Sulu in the Philippines to submit to American suzerainty and American military rule; the Sultan obliged them and wrote the letter which was sent to Sulu via Mecca. As a result, the "Sulu Mohammedans ... refused to join the insurrectionists and had placed themselves under the control of our army, thereby recognizing American sovereignty."[53][54]
