I actually do agree that it's weird. But dude, it's not fucking Nazi level. Don't downplay the level of shit those guys were up to.

I'm not downplaying the Nazis, their indoctrination through similar tactics was pervasive. Mistakes of the past repeat in the future and all that cautioning. That's how you breed a generation of young people that vote for orange turds or frustrated painters.
