Funny

It's their culture too, Americans didn't spontaneously generate as a colony. These outfits are from Europe.

The funny thing is that they had periods where they hated Catholics almost as much as their other targets while pretending to be a holy order of Catholic knights. They were literally the exact same kind of Christo-fascist as modern neo-crusaders but wouldn't let Catholics in.

For some reason, I'm thinking of the scene in Django Unchained where the guy is griping that his wife worked hard on this!

Yep. There are still swastikas all over Korea because it's been associated with Buddhists for far longer than Hitler who appropriated it. Freaks out visiting westerners, though.

Because fascists have no creativity.

As a general rule at least... I guess you can end up with a Leni Riefenstahl every now and then, but for the most part, if you were a good artist at the time in Germany, you were a target. And I guess one could call Josef Mengele "creative" if you remove all positive connotations from the word.

To give some context, originally a ‘nazareno’ is somebody paying penitence for sins committed since last years Easter. Part of their ‘penitence’ is to march in procession covered with those robes. The ‘capirote’ (the hood) is intended to keep those sinners (that could be important or well known people) anonymous.

I’m not sure if this is still valid today or if it’s now just a performance. Someone from the south of Spain will more about that than myself.

Admittedly my info is a couple decades old. When my college friends studying in Australia tried to hitchhike with their thumbs, drivers angrily returned the gesture. They were later informed that it meant "up yours" and that the correct way was to point an index finger toward where they wanted to go. Maybe years of Americans visiting have changed this.

Funny thing from an Australian friend who moved to Seattle where I live - we used to have a restaurant called Dag's that served "Dag-burgers". She said to her "dags" were little balls of shit clinging to a sheep's fur. She sent home a photo of herself by the sign and her relatives thought it was hysterical.

Only if it’s upside down, above the knee, and not if they put a finger through it without breaking eye contact

How tf did this ever become a thing

Like I know obviously it's just a funny excuse to punch your friend the same way a VW Beetle is but like,

"make a ring with your fingers and hold it near your dick and then call for your friend's attention and then when he gives you attention, proving that he's a good friend that listens to you, laugh at him and then punch him in the kidney"

Does this not seem insane to anyone else, I have to know the etymology of this but I don't know how to look it up

My understanding of the event:

• 4chan jokes they should pretend the okay hand sign is a white supremacist dog whistle to trigger libs.
• They do and it works.
• Online shitters who's whole personality is "triggering sjw's" pick up on this and perpetuate the joke to continue to trigger people.

Basically people getting mad at a joke caused it to become a real thing to some degree. While not a supremacist symbol it was heavily used by them for a time.

As in Nazereth. People from Nazareth.

Nazgul?

Not really

Nothing prepared me for this when I moved from the US to NLD. My first year I was so shocked. One Sunny Bergman documentary later (Zwart Als Roet) and I was vindicated. Nuts that it still goes on. Ongeloofelijk (unbelievable)!
