and I forget why exactly but I noticed swastika stickers and people from Thailand pretending to be Hitler and other disturbing mimicry all in Thailand. Being outranged as to why any human with a brain and a heart would be doing this I google searched Hitler and Thailand and this is what I found:

:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:

So this might be the weirdest shit I've seen in a long time. Anyone been to Thailand before? So bizarre that they don't understand what it all means, don't question what it means and therefore can't really be blamed I suppose, but then again, WTF?!?!

Almost like MMA superstar Georges St. Pierre wearing outfits that depict the Imperial Japanese flag on it.

Re: So I was on Instagram today and...

WTF????? People [some, let's hope it's only a few... in Thailand] will do anything for attention (i.e., wanting to rile up tourists)? Disturbing. But I suggest no one give them attention for it.

I visited Thailand in September, and I didn't see anything like that. But that's a big country I only stayed in Phuket.

Apart from Japan, I really don't think many Asian countries really do understand the true meaning of the Nazi's and their horrific regime.

Re: So I was on Instagram today and...

the last photo is from India. the store eventually changed the name, begrudgingly. evidently sales were really good, but again, the owner and others lacked context and understanding. The owner said the store was named after his grandfather who's strict demeanor earned him the nickname "hitler."

Re: So I was on Instagram today and...

i'd say most asians are too busy hating their neighboring countries to bother with context and understanding:lol:
