Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past.
I am insisting on no such thing. I just told you not knowing is both fine and normal.
I am saying the reason people don’t know is because they dont care to know. Not because they were not presented with the option to learn this information.
Your wife may have been failed by her teachers though. Since she did seek out information about the nazis.
When your wife took her class on the holocaust, did they not look at nazi uniforms (The SS or SD hats for instance), mention Theodor Eicke, the designer of Dachau and the inspiration for all subsequent concentration camps, executioner of Rohm and commander of the Totenkopf division a division of former concentration camp guards?
Could she recognise the triangles of the concentration camps? The double sig rune? The nazi reichsadler/parteiadler?
edit: i’m genuinely not sure i understand what you’ve been disagreeing with me on? is it that the education system didn’t teach people to recognize a totenkopf, or that they shouldn’t? because they didn’t successfully do so, and i’m saying they should have made a point to.
ok, since this apparently isn’t clear to you somehow, when i say that normal people don’t recognize this symbol because fascist societies don’t teach people anything, i’m making the implicit claim that i think they should. i’m not saying that they tried not to show people. i’m not saying people were denied the opportunity to see it during the education. i’m saying that if people were taught to recognize it then they would, but recognizing symbols used by any existing white supremacist militant groups isn’t a priority in fascist society. i’m not denying that people have seen the totenkopf: i’m saying it’s not surprising that they don’t pick up on it being a specific nazi design. my wife has obviously seen the totenkopf before. she didn’t realize it was a design that was specific to the nazis. because normies don’t notice symbols they aren’t taught to notice. i have no clue what you’re even arguing with me about if you agree with that, which you seem to. i don’t know why you took this entire conversation as apparently a condemnation of the education system in terms of practice and not design or something.
Not because they were not presented with the option to learn this information.
no man, the point is they didn’t learn because normies don’t learn anything you don’t beat them over the head with, and obviously they should be beat over the head with recognizing hate symbols. which again, you seem to be saying as well, i’m really confused what point you’re even fighting.
