But it only works to make you look silly. Since I am a man with a wide handlebar moustache, a goatee, and long sideburns*; you should probably accept myself as an authority on silly facial hair.
But, like the flat top haircut, it doesn’t really “work”, does it?
*Think “THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!”. That’s pretty close.
There are swastikas on the Jefferson County Courthouse in Birmingham, Alabama.
German fellow, wasn’t he?
And the county courthouse in Washington County, OH. They have a prominent sign covering the issue to avoid any…unpleasantries.
You gotta admit, when the Nazi’s ruin something, they do a thorough job. 70+ years later and several cultural items are still off limits. Likely to remain so for a long time, too.
Well, when you realize that many people who suffered under that symbol are still alive, and have nightmares every night because of it, perhaps it’s not that long a time after all.
I had a friend in China who wore a swastika on a necklace. I never got a picture with her on a day she wore it, but it would have made for a fun picture.
I’ve been in a synagogue that had a swastika pattern in the floor tiles of the lobby.
Old joke: Austria’s greatest accomplishment was to persuade the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was not.
My mother was very disturbed by the architectural design of the hospital where I was born.
Maybe I’m being too picayune, but I don’t think of Chaplin’s flared trapezoid as being the same style as Hitler’s rigid rectangle.
Built before the 1930s, I would guess.
They were very similar. It was certainly close enough for Chaplin to play The Great Dictator. Hitler’s and Chaplin’s style was very close. Hitler’s original moustachewas pretty different.
Do the historical swastikas have the 45° rotation like the Nazis use (and Swastika Fuel Company, I see)?
We had the Swastika Laundry.
