For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

My shirt saying "I'm no nazi apologist, but..." has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt
Fuck off. I raised the point that vilifying people who had party affiliation but no real participation is wrong and that's valid. I hate that my mother votes for Trump, but that doesn't make her evil. She's bigoted and misguided. She's certainly no Steve Bannon.
Further, contemporary nazis have no excuse while in early-20th Germany there was far less access to non-state information. My mother's a useful idiot to the right whereas modern day nazis know exactly what they're supporting. Modern nazism gets no benefit of the doubt.
So I saw your shirt and and that made me have some questions. Explain the difference between your Nazi apologia and the clean Wehrmacht myth.
they joined the nazi party, mate. they went and did it. it's not like someone drove by and threw a membership book at them and boom, they were now nazis. they went and deliberately joined the most racist party.
