  1. Youknow, I wonder what would've happened if they hád put him in a uniform. Part of me thinks he would've broken down, upset and saying; 'Take me out of this clothing, I am now a Nazi, I don't want this.' And them replying; 'You are a chubby nerd in a suit, stop crying, don't you know who you are?!' And him replying; 'No, I derive my identity and morals only from what I wear, like a true commercialistic idiot.'

  2. I bet there's blokes that do it and that are neo-nazi's but generally speaking those will be open and honest about that, because they think they are doing the right thing. A.k.a. they won't uncomfortably ask you to stop calling them nazi's, if they identify as nazi's, they will smile broadly and ask you how you would murder a black man or a jew, if you got a free pass for it. Nazi's are usually not that shy about their beliefs, they will be vocal about their loyalty to KKK or whatever group and will proudly display it on their arm with tattoo's or youknow, wear certain things to a bar or a nightclub that show you that they are neonazi's.

  3. Same here. I am the kind of person that apologizes to (harmful, only harmful, I don't flush the others) bugs that I flush down the toilet, but I would be a German SS-er for a day...sure. I'd probably feel uncomfortable for a few minutes..probably burst into laughter for an hour and giggle, maybe even cry a bit...but then I'd be ready to re-enact. Not sure if I would be able to "shoot" someone and enjoy it as much as that Vice-journalist seemed to do...his biased bloodthirst was kindof uncomfortable, no matter who he fought for. But I speak fluent German and I'd definitely be able to give orders and yell them in German, or just arrange guns or..youknow..just sitting in a uniform would be an experience to begin with. I'd feel a lot better about myself if I knew I could sit in a nazi-uniform and know that it doesn't change me or my morals one bit.

  4. Maybe he shouldn't have insisted on wearing an American uniform then.

  5. Youknow, I once walked the Climate Walk and at the end, there were a few people that wanted to join us, lastminute. We were all soaked and they looked warm and comfortable, had been lounging in the nearest museum with Starbucks coffee.' Once we came out and they joined us, they avoided speaking to us. Before we knew it, they started screaming and hung posters in the trees. I thought they were supporting our Climate Walk. Turns out they were protesting white males and the colonisation in 1602. Once a girl started videotaping everything, twerking and giving us the middle finger while sticking out her tongue and screaming; Yeah right, that's it, fuckoff white males!' I left with my dad. We'd walked 2 hours, through icecold rain for the environment and they had sat inside, sipping coffee made from slave-labour-beans and they had the audacity to twist our statement and make it look like we were the bad ones for caring about trees. This video makes me think of that.

  6. I've had that a few times. I've been interviewed and at some point, while I enthousiastically spoke, the cameraman just sighed and took the camera down and leaned backwards against a bridge, showing he wasn't recording anymore. In the end, they acted like nobody wanted to speak and were just busy with their own thing and that they hád to draw their own conclusions because nobody bothered to inform them on anything.

  7. Fairly sure Mexico uses them too.
