      I have to admit something personal:
      The fact that you sound like my mother's more distant relatives does make me feel comfortable. Her family is from Yugoslavia, and they had a minor history with Nazis.
      They fled religious persecution (they were Christians, not Jews) and were saved by a Nazi military convoy. All four of my great-grandparents would attain German citizenship and live a decent life, but after Czechoslovakia, they saw the writing on the wall and packed up the family (mainly my grandparents - who were still kids then - their siblings, and some extended relatives) and left. They were unable to get into the US then, so they went to Chile, where my mother would be born about 20 years later and then they finally entered the US.
      When they were fleeing persecution, my maternal grandmother was almost tasked with killing her older sister, who was already sick when they fled, because they were afraid that "she was slowing them down." That was when they stumbled across the military convoy. Her father spoke just enough German to request asylum through them, and they granted it, thus sparing my grandmother's sister (who also received medicine from them).
      Until she passed away a couple of years ago, my grandmother would always acknowledge how the Nazis saved her family, but she refused to embrace Nazism after they left Germany, so while she was never particularly vocal, she disliked how American politicians - but especially the Republican party - embrace Nazism. Before she suffered the debilitating stroke that would leave her helpless, when she saw the 2016 election results, she simply said, "Well, America has fallen to the Nazis."

      Exercising is capitalist. We eat so much that we have to burn extra calories to not be fat. Of course working out is more efficient if you have fancy tools to work out with, and it just so happens there's a sale on those today. Then since you exercised you can justify getting another tasty burger you saw on that commercial. Then you feel guilty so you have to exercise again...

    Honestly this explains a lot. My grandmother was never particularly racist. I have never once heard her use racial slur or say demeaning things about other races. I have never heard her say anything about Jews at all. In recent years, she sacrificed many hours of her time to help Syrian refugees at her church without any pay. When my grandfather started to get dementia and say racist things he never said before, she got very upset.
    But at the same time, she had been a Hilter fangirl from the time she was young. This always confused me. It was just the vibes, I guess. Maybe if she was young now we would call it Nazicore lmao.

      In Japan and in East Asia, you will find this symbol everywhere. Even the the word Swastika is of a Sanskrit origin.
      Swasti = "well-being"
      Swastika = "a thing of well-being"
      It is used in Jain and Buddhist religions. Hence, I find the banning of the symbol offensive.
      Just say that you are a Buddhist and that it is your right to draw the symbol. Ironically, this makes Germany and the rest if the West culturally ignorant and intolerant.
      The best way to erase something is to give it a new identity. Prohibiting it will not be effective.
      I used to draw green swastikas when I was young. I thought that a different color should negate its bad reputation. 😁

      But in return in many asian countries the Rising Sun Flag of japan is seen as a symbol of aggression and the horrors of the past while it isn't a big or even well known thing in most western countries. So I wouldn't blame them even if they would accidently use the right turned symbol just because everyone focusses more on the history of the area you come from.

      ​@@amasing115This is a common myth brought into circulation right after the end of WW2 to reinstate the reputation and integrity of millions of men (and women, to a lesser degree). Even decades ago, overwhelming evidence had already been presented to definitively prove this was a protective lie from the moment it was voiced for the first time. The large majority of Germans knew about the Shoah. They knew where "the Jews were going" and why they never come back. Enough concentration camps and crematoria were situated next to town, even though Auschwitz was far away. They knew that fathers and husbands were executing Poles, Sinti and Roma left and right because they literally talked about it in their letters to their families. They did not keep it a secret. They were proud of it. The rampant anti-Semitism, anti-Ziganism, anti-Communism etc. were all manifest in society. The German populus supported what they pretended to be "necessary measures." Once a family had been deported, their neighbors raided their home, stole their valuables or even settled in there. They were very well aware that there won't be anybody who could ever reclaim it; or so they thought, at least. Sure, as an enlisted soldier you didn't know the ins and outs of what exactly was happening where. The upper echelon of the Nazi government themselves didn't know in most cases. They designed the slaughter machine to run mostly automatically. But every child knew what the overall goal was and what needed to be done to achieve it. They supported it. You can't do that and then wonder that you're supposed to murder a bunch of starving children as you arrive at the hinterlands of the front line.
      This debate is as old as the German Federal Republic. People wanted to forget immediately because that's kind of desirable when you lose after doing all this stuff. They wanted the easy way out. They knew very well why their men and fathers stopped talking and why they became so angry and violent all of a sudden. The Allies supported this "collective amnesia" because they needed to wash away all the reasons for why a respectable man could never let those people occupy public offices ever again. And of course, "Now that there are no more dirty and messy annihilation camps everywhere, all in all, the Communists over to the East are actually kind of worse." There have been extreme generational clashes in Germany as children grew older and decided not to take their parents' silence for an answer anymore. The debate has been settled. Those soldiers didn't open a Kinder Surprise. They knew. At the very least, even though I don't want to be diplomatic here, but at the *very least* they knew enough to be 100% responsible and guilty. They knew more than enough to feel the need as a basic human being to take up arms against this government and fight. But they didn't. Because they liked what they were told.
      Don't spread the age-old, long since refuted apologetic lies.

      I wear leather boots with mid-length double breasted coat and gloves from fall to spring, but every stranger so far who made a comment on it thought I was on my way to horse riding training. The secret is the lack of symbols and a bit less militaristic way of using these. Like those loose trousers would take it too far but a normal one is harmless. Long hair also gives a less militaristic impression. I got a lot of compliments from strangers. When they asked, I told the truth: I'm not riding, I only like this way of look. (And I don't support nazism.) But even one country West from where I live, it would look very strange, I understand that. With all the sick fashion of these days.

      I have never done the salute, but unlike allot of people I have actually had "toys" that were Nazi ww2 original helmet, ww2 KAR98 bayonet and later an actual real life Nazi Germany produced surplus occupation storage KAR98 with Swastikas, German serial numbers and all stamped into the metal (never used in combat). As a kid I ran around in the forest, next to old cannons and such playing. Had no clue about the helmets and such while ironically knowing allot about Nazis. The latter being why I even as a little kid never done the salute, even as a joke. My home town disdain for the Nazis were that strong, but since our town was attacked (Nazis lost about 1000, our town lost 4 civilians and 0 military). There were allot of Nazi German stuff around, even in the 90s, and in turn allot of kids were actually, without their knowledge, including me, playing with war trophies our grandfathers had. Later I joined cadets like unit that had ww2 surplus storage rifles as their main weapon, aka the Nazi KAR98. Afterwards joined the real military and became a shock trooper sergeant. I have had 3 different national service rifles, more or less qualified instructor on all weapons our nations soldiers can carry and even today, as an exmil. I would NOT hesitate to blow a Nazi away if I jumped into a foxhole with one.
      What some times shock far right wingers when they hear my background. Is that they have this propaganda wall in front of them that makes them think the only ones they will be facing if they rise again are "feminine boy girls" or similar. Ironically, because while I was in the military we looked for far right wingers to prevent them being recruited. Was that their hallmarks were often that they were followers, not leaders, and cowards. Which maybe makes sense, I mean. Who would be scared of a gay guy or insert other minority unless they were actual cowards.
      Far right wingers, totalitarian supporters, of any side. Will just stifle society. Even ww2 Nazi German scientists were NOT created by the system, rather created by the system that was before the Nazis took power in Germany. I mean, just look at the lack of innovation in other totalitarian places like China. Copy, paste and or up-scaling is not innovation.

      I think a deep dive into Stalinist aesthetics would be just as interesting. For instance Stalin and Mussolini both promoted modern forms of art and architecture in their regimes, they both had “futurist” movements to show to the world that they were making the world in a new, modern and sophisticated image. They would embrace technology and previously untried social engineering. On the other hand Hitler suppressed artistic innovation and threatened and forced all artists in the country to embrace a “traditional” view of German identity. Like the video says, they used a lot of ancient symbols and runes to tie themselves to an ancient heritage. They wanted to be seen as restoring a “natural order” that had always been there under the surface somehow. Of course neither was in all respects purely new or old, but they chose to be seen in one way or the other.

      Discipline and strength, at what cost? In spaces where there are those qualities, femininity is demeaned. Femininity is crushed and not allowed to breathe. In my experience, those types of spaces, ie. Martial arts or JROTC, stifle emotions (which bars all genders, not just women). It becomes emotionally abusive and damaging. Maybe we should reconsider if discipline and strength is taught in the wrong ways. I mean when you think of those things, I’m sure most people will think of muscled men (maybe even just white men), always heterosexual, and always individualistic except for their admiration for other men like them. Consider other forms of strength and other forms of discipline.
