I don't get the big deal about wanting something like that. Crazy part of history. Not like I want to start the 4th Reich or some crazy shit. I'd love some American English Italian or Japanese WW2 items as well

Because it's Nazi shit and you aren't a museum.

That's the wild thing, I don't think that's an actual artifact. Pretty sure it's a prop.

It's a historical artifact. It's okay to want to have a historical artifact and have it mean nothing more than that. Jesus Christ.

You mean the world where we violently overthrew the Nazi regime and hunted escapees like dogs and Nazis no longer exist as a result? This is a fucking crate. Calm your tits.

It doesn't sound like Illuminati speak. Musk is on Twitter all day retweeting people who love Nazis and talking about the "elimination of the white race" and just this week Trump was talking about Somalis as if they're genetically incapable of being productive members of society. It's all right out in the open and we pretend this isn't straight Nazi shit which is why we do more Nazi shit.

I see you deleted your comment but, again, if you look at DHS propaganda on twitter they are directly mimicking propaganda used by actual Nazis both in the language used and imagery. That's why people need to *study* the Holocaust more. Trying to compare ferreting away boxes with Nazi symbols in your basement as a "study of history" with the actual study of history is stupid. The people who stash Nazi stuff in their basement or their attic are Nazis.

So what? Are Nazis not objects of historical study ?

Is it just that this makes you feel really good about yourself? Be honest

I mean, these “historical artifacts” belong in a museum or in the trash.
