I pose to the club this question: What significance does this appearance of the Nazi trope on all sides have? Is it some kind of weird desire for wish fulfillment? Is there some kind of will to chaos afoot in our country? Have we simply reached a toxic critical mass from Hollywood images? Anomie?

I’d say too many people with too much time on their hands thinking things in time have some ultimate importance.

Those chubbies in the video don’t seem to be a vanguard revolutionary formation to me. But then, idle hands are the devils workshop, and, never give a rifle to a melancholy bore.
