The mustache for sure can and has, same thing with names, how many Adolfs yall know?

Chaplin is obviously blameless unless he had future sight, but the thing about the Jordan attempt was that anyone that has even kinda followed Michael Jordan knows that he only did it because he thought he was a big enough icon to overcome the stigma of a Hitlerstache

Clearly his ego had grown too large

I know zero Adolfs, and would question their parents.

I would also question people naming their kids after any dictator or famous terrible person, especially one directly responsible for the Holocaust.

Why are you assuming they are naming their kid for that particular person?

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not. I said, "question". What part of asking questions makes you think assumption?

[–] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why would you even question it if you weren’t being prejudice? Lol.

So you just fundamentally fail to understand any of this conversation, then? Fucking pathetic losers ignoring history... You DO what they say about people like you, right?
