RE: Accosted by fascists at an LGBTQ+ event (Is it okay to dress as Hitler?)
The LGBTQ+ people loved Hitler
Huh?
Basically I think the ironic veneration of tyrants simply advertises ignorance. Ultimately Hitler was somebody who would have happily murdered all the people attending your party.
In my mind it trivialises what these people did; another argument could be that it ridicules the tyrant.
I personally don't find it offensive, just sad, Hitler and the swastika represent the worst kind of intolerance known to man. The things that he stood for, and that his regime carried out, was beyond awful.
That being said, it was obviously meant ironically, and the people "threatening" to cut off her head are bloody idiots.
Yes, you are a babe :-)
What I meant was that no one had a problem with it, and everyone found the outfit funny. It was very comical.
It is also worth noting that Winston Churchill is on the British £5 notes, and he committed more genocide than Hitler. Also the swastika is older than Nazis and I don't believe it should be given to the nazis. To me, it's vedic.
Thanks ^_^
Oh right I see! Lolz.
Point taken about Churchill, however he was also the person who led Britain and the allies to victory against fascism.
Whilst the swastika is older than the Nazis, they popularised it, and few people know this fact (relative to the amount of people who attribute it to the Nazis).
Would you get it tattooed on you; or wear it as a t-shirt?
So, it's a shame, however it will unfortunately, always be associated with hate, and intolerance. Hence the symbol (along with the Nazi salute) being illegal in Germany.
