:reddit-logo: a little too on brand today
Why are redditors so obsessed with Nazi aesthetics? They love when people post their grandads SS uniform or something stupid
Hmm its such a mystery
There are tons of fascists there, yes, but the problem with Nazis is that in Western pop culture they’ve long occupied a role similar to the Empire from Star Wars or Mordor, so your average mushy-brained, uneducated redditor type with no critical thinking skills reacts to Nazi memorabilia the same way as they would to a Stormtrooper’s blaster rifle or an Uruk-hai helmet
Oh, they missed one. Thanks for finding it, so you can destroy it.
From the comments section:
The same people that are losing their puny little minds that someone might want to own this strictly as a piece of history, are the same ones un ironically and proudly flying their hammer and sickle flags and saying communism is great
Lol

People find crap like that all over the place metal detecting. Obviously not with the nazi insignia usually unless you are in Germany but stuff like old coins, buckles, pins etc. Sometimes once in a while someone uncovers something really old but tbh if you go dig in a back garden in Europe you’ll find older crap than this.
It’s technically historical in that it was around a long time ago but it doesn’t add anything to our historical knowledge and is worth jack shit except to dumb nazis I guess.
can you believe there’s nazi stuff in Germany
Whodathunk
Yeah this is my favorite, “I was metal detecting in Germany totally not looking for nazi shit and found nazi shit, isn’t that interesting?”
And predittors are just like :so-true: yes its fascinating history
Like no, there’s nothing interesting about this, it’s a fucking pin, there were probably hundreds of thousands of these made, and everyone is aware that Nazis existed so what exactly is the historical value here?
I would find it interesting to find personally, just cause that would ground what I “know” into what I “see/experience”. A lot like looking at Jupiter or Saturn through a telescope, it’s not groundbreaking or scientific, and I don’t need to be sharing a picture of it everywhere, but still interesting.
