They largely got into power because the German government was more afraid of the Communists, and thought that since the Nazis were anti-Communist, they could use the Nazis against them. And that spectacularly backfired, but on the other hand if the Communists had gotten into power, that also would have been a comparable disaster.<br /><br />My point is, it isn't just your enemies that you should be concerned with. You should also keep an eye on your supposed allies. tim eiselehttp://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-91101486302519201142023-05-30T06:11:32.127-07:002023-05-30T06:11:32.127-07:00Yes, Ilion, when you tell me that you hate me (and...Yes, Ilion, when you tell me that you hate me (and also apparently hate most of the human race), you bet I believe you. <br /><br />And if anyone ever tries to put me in a death-camp, I would expect it to be somebody like you.<br /><br /> tim eiselehttp://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-92030418870026643372023-05-27T08:57:53.417-07:002023-05-27T08:57:53.417-07:00Tim, your comment is a terrific illustration of wh...Tim, your comment is a terrific illustration of what von Hildebrand faced. The woke people influencing these corporations through things like ESG-score-based investments and the penetration of woke college graduates into HR and other areas of the company have described their worldview in great detail. They truly believe that our current cultural norms are nothing more than social constructs created by straight, white men to keep themselves in power.<br /><br />The transgression of those norms is the point. The destruction of the power structures that lead to inequality is the point.<br /><br />This ad is an excellent example of those transgressions. In it, the people are ugly, the sexes are ambiguous, the races are carefully chosen. Your reaction, I think, comes from seeing the image and translating it into your worldview which is how you come away with the feeling that it's just an appeal to obese people and not all that big of a deal.<br /><br />You may well be right and I may be a hysteric. That's happened before. Still, it sure looks like a perfect example of the woke telling you who they are and what they intend.<br /><br />To me, my worldview and theirs are incompatible.K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-30263112080496867452023-05-27T07:36:20.186-07:002023-05-27T07:36:20.186-07:00I wonder if Tim will finally admit reality when th...I wonder if Tim will finally admit reality when the leftists put him in the death-camp.Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-81814892538824184292023-05-27T07:31:46.242-07:002023-05-27T07:31:46.242-07:00In other words -- When people tell you they hate y...In other words -- When people tell you they hate you and want to destroy everything you value, believe them.Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-50105474798565591012023-05-26T22:48:30.254-07:002023-05-26T22:48:30.254-07:00Tim - If they just realized that, then apparently ...Tim - If they just realized that, then apparently none of them ever watched ‘Seinfeld’. https://youtu.be/quzRzYQ5Xwo<br /><br />And it’s not called a man bra, or a mansier.

There's millions of those guys! We'd make a fortune!"<br /><br />I don't think that person in the ad is supposed to be transgender or anything. I think he's just a chubby guy wearing a man-bra, trying to make it look good.<br /><br />CK doesn't hate you. They don't hate anybody. They just want to sell you underwear. tim eiselehttp://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.comnoreply@blogger.com
