    Nah, it checks out. 32 stars on the flag points to a 9 month period between 1858 and 1859, there were a ton of capotain-wearing Puritans around then. That definitely isn’t a fashion trend as removed from 1858 as we are from 1858!

    Third one is basically their fault too.

    Technically Hitler's fault, but go off king.

    No, not really. A) Zionism predates the Nazi party by quite a bit, and B) it's pretty well documented that a large amount of European countries supported the establishment of Israel so that they could get rid of their Jewish populations, including England who controlled Palestine. The Nazis did not have a monopoly on antisemitism in Europe, I promise you that.

    Sure, but his American descendants kept the tradition and the excuse alive for centuries after that snazzy hat went out of style.

    Well that's true, but there are a few other snazzy hats they could have used that would have aligned better with that flag or a flag similar to it .. I find it odd that religious nutjobs always need a ridiculous hat

    They were mostly English when they had those hats
