I think the whole arm debacle is kind of silly. Do we really have to watch our arms that closely so as to not accidentally perform any tabooed arm gestures?

I'm not going to deny that it has pretty shitty connotations, but implying that it was intentional is kind of silly.
I realize it was likely unintentional, but I'm going to keep using "Ingraham, She-Wolf of the SS" because come on.

I'm pretty sure the Nazi salute was the US pledge of allegiance salute or whatever you call that weird ritual where kids swear to defend the country instead of swearing at the teachers like UK kids.
It was until the actual Nazis came along, at which point we decided it was better just to change it. I wonder if someone could convince the Tea Partiers to fight for going back to the original "as it was intended" =P

How many of you support making Election Day a national holiday?

Put it on a monday, three day weekend and then you vote!

I know I'm late to the party but THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. Still dont make it punishable offense for not voting but at least it will help if its a mandatory paid holiday with transportation help for the people that dont have it.

But back on topic, hell yes Polish Winged Hussars.
Yeah it was unintentional but damn, of all the candidates to be speaking at an event, and standing in front of a giant poster of when you do that and then derpily try to play it off... it's der Drumpf?

The roman salute is a thing that exists, and has existed for thousands of years. The nazis only used it because they were goddamn hipsters, and thus made it lame.

So what you are saying is Hipsters as a whole are Nazi's? Or that Nazi's were the first Hipsters thus making Hipsters a derivative of Nazi's?

More like cultural fetishists and artists who mixed roman things with norse things to create awesome symbology and etc. Something not terribly hard to do considering they had the god of making things that look nice, Hugo Boss, with them, and that loads of scandinavian and german cultures had a huge boner for rome for a long time and had already incorporated lots of roman artistic and cultural elements in their culture. The whole nazi party aesthetic and even ideals were a huge syncretic mess of things only thinly connected together by party ideology and a will instill ~prussian pride~ on people to unite people, but I don't think any historians of the time took it seriously.

Before it got popular, that is.

Only somewhat on topic, but this kind of reminds me of this one commentary by Pat Buchanan of the time when hitler first met mussolini and how mussolini thought hitler was a huge clown and never took him too seriously.
