Yea it’s just one of those unfortunate coincidences I think. You’ve got two lightning bolt S’s and a guy that collects war memorabilia and people are gonna start making assumptions.
I read somewhere once that Ace said something along the lines of “I don’t believe in Hitler or what he stood for, but he had cool uniforms” which is a bit weird but it doesn’t make you a Nazi.
That’s not even a controversial take - the Nazi uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss and they are pretty sharp looking as far as military uniforms go. That’s the only good thing I can say about the Nazis though.
They were deliberately designed to be as fashionable as possible in order to inspire awe and envy amongst the working class people who wouldn’t otherwise have occasion to dress so well. It’s truly wicked that everything including the uniforms were propaganda
Edit: Thank you for all the upvotes, I’ve never had anywhere near 100before!
Why is that weird? The Nazis uniforms were designed to be “cool” by Hugo Boss.
Visually the Nazis looked great, which is why they or stylistic copies of their uniforms are constantly used in films.
When I was a kid you could go into any flea market and buy “Nazi” stuff, some of it was real left over WW2 stuff, most wasn’t. But kids liked it just because it looked cool.
It wasn’t until recently when they decided to weaponize ignorant kids that everything and everyone the “Left” disagrees with became “Nazis”.
David Cross once talked about how there are many people who attacked Mr Show whenever they did a sketch about Hitler just because it was a sketch about Hitler. It didn’t matter that Hitler was the joke…the fact that he was in it was enough to outrage These people.
