the nurse WEARING THE FUCKING FLAG LMAO
I wonder where they learned it.
People really don't like it when you tell them that Manifest Destiny and Lebensraum influenced Zionism.
One thing I never considered for a long time is how zionists always make the target of their dialogue Westerners; you would imagine the first people they need to talk to, to convince that their country deserves to exist, the first people they should prioritize for all their dialogue, would be their Middle Eastern neighbors, but I've realized all their dialogue is targeted at Westerners; their view of Arabs is truly no different than the settler colonizers' view of native Americans; they don't see them as people. Frankly if they were going to consider themselves a Western country they should've made their nation in Europe or seen what they could do about getting the US to cede some land to them (but then, there's strategic benefit to our government and the UK in creating a Western outpost in the Middle East).
It’s like an RPG where people buy cosmetics specifically to look as goofy as possible
Jacket: Apartheid State Flag Cape
This is just literally a big flag tucked into the neck of your shirt.
- +1 Esprit de Corps: I'm a Superhero!
- +1 Composure: It's photo ops time
- -2 Conceptualization: What the fuck are you doing
I know it would be very old-fashioned but to complete the outfit - she should have a blue and white nurses hat with a big Star of David.
Is it typical for a phlebotomist to wear an Israeli flag cape?
She has the honor of pre-splattering the flag in blood before it's used on the front lines
yes
Sorry only white blood cells
I like how the FRG and the hitler ones are called the Luftwaffe, but the GDR one was the Luftstreitkräfte
Luftstreitkräfte was used by the Empire too.
and the weimar republic. seems like a more neutral term than the nazi one, plus nobody knows anything about imperial germany besides the kaiser stealing our word for "twenty"
Why do Germans get a unique name for their armed forces? Wehraboos? Actually better question, why didn't Germany get Article 9'd after the war? That's like one of the few good things the bastard MacArthur did.

Normalising it functions to make the nazi armed forces just sound like regular Germany, which is part of re-nazification.

Because they're white and the Japanese are not white.
had to look it up so I might as well share:
"Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized."
—Article 9, The Constitution of Japan (1947)
land, sea and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained.
Well ackshually they’re technically American bases so they don’t count! Warmongering ok if we do it through Amerikkka!

Well that was a fucking lie.
Come on, everybody knows the JSDF could never be used offensively! It's in the name!
🥰
Because Germans speak.. a different language? "Luftwaffe" is not a proper noun, it's German for "Air Forces."
Personally, I would've just changed the name to something that wasn't used by the Nazis if I was in charge of West Germany after the war 🤔
As a German, I don't see the point of this. Luftwaffe literally means air weapon. This is like saying there shouldn't be a US army because 'army' is the name the confederation used for it's forces. It's not like Germany has a Schutzstaffel any more.
I would much rather have had denazification, but of course neither happened so...yay?
You could use a synonym like Luftstreitkräfte (or Luftstreitkraft, German Wikipedia seems to use both singular and plural and it's clear to me which one is correct) like the other comment suggests. To me, it just seems weird to still use the same terms as the Nazis, but it makes sense considering the whole ”no denazification” thing, I guess.
there shouldn't be a US army
I agree.
You just mean the word army, right?
there shouldn't be a US army
In GDR it was Luftstreitkräfte, for example.
So in English it would the German Airforce. Not the German Luftwaffe.
Would be like calling it the French Armée de l'Air.
Yep, pretty much. No reason to refer to it as such.
Well, one of the quirks of the German language is that every noun is a proper noun in a way, since you should capitalize the first letter of every noun. I'm sure that plays a part in why people think it is an actual proper name instead of just a noun.
needed the Nazis as hatchetmen for the cold war.
like, literally
Surprised they let him donate despite HIV concerns. (Hitler in Veins)
i literally thought this was an onion piece
That nurse with the gaudy flag is fuckin ridiculous
Faster than a fleeing Palestinian child. More powerful than a weeping mother. Able to leap corpse piles in a single bound.
Look! Up in the sky! It's a plane! It's an Israeli missile! It's Supergenocide!
Just when you think they can't get any more over the top melodramatic.
Whaaat the fuuuuck am I looking at with the fucking flag-cape and the Hitler-thumb?
An uncanny resemblance to Goering.
...Well, dress for the job you want and not the one you have I guess? Does that still apply if the job you have is a perfectly respectable medical profession and the job you want is... whatever the fuck this is?
