I'm sorry what?!

That level of disingenuous knot tying is utterly baffling.

You know damn well that after WW2, all of those symbols ostensibly became inextricably linked with the Nazi party. Its the same reason a Swastika no longer automatically conjures images of Hindu and Buddhist peace.

Pretending that its possible that this idiot is somehow repping his pride of Wilhelm II and the glorious Prussian history is so unbelievably intellectually dishonest that it actually somehow manages to be even worse than being flat out racist.

At least Racists are honest. This...whatever this idiotic attempt at obsfucation was that you just shat into our lives is just pedantry that even racists would mock you for.
