Nothing surprising given how terrible Trump is, but nonetheless.

He also was present at a Ku Klux Klan demonstration in 1927.

The mustache for sure can and has, same thing with names, how many Adolfs yall know?

Chaplin is obviously blameless unless he had future sight, but the thing about the Jordan attempt was that anyone that has even kinda followed Michael Jordan knows that he only did it because he thought he was a big enough icon to overcome the stigma of a Hitlerstache

Clearly his ego had grown too large

I know zero Adolfs, and would question their parents.

I know one. He's 104.

Fun fact: in many countries outside the Western world, Hitler is treated as just some dictator.

I would also question people naming their kids after any dictator or famous terrible person, especially one directly responsible for the Holocaust.

Why are you assuming they are naming their kid for that particular person?

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not. I said, "question". What part of asking questions makes you think assumption?

[–] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would you even question it if you weren’t being prejudice? Lol.

So you just fundamentally fail to understand any of this conversation, then? Fucking pathetic losers ignoring history... You DO what they say about people like you, right?

[–] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Oh I’m understanding it quite well, you’re prejudiced, it’s that simple.

We’re not ignoring history, I think a large portion of people know we need to leave unneeded stigmas behind.

It’s a name, and a face covering, what’s so evil about that? Adolf type names are common in other countries, just because you don’t know one doesn’t mean it isn’t done lmfao. What a take.
