Synchronized swimming has never been what you might call “cool” or “hip to the latest trends.” At this year’s Olympic games, for example, swimmers have performed to a mix of bad ‘80s music, classical tunes, and “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke. But nothing really beats the time France put together a routine set to the …
A bunch of “white nationalists” who recently had a bloody confrontation in Sacramento with anti-fascist groups are going to the RNC. The Traditionalist Worker Party are pledging to head to Cleveland to protect Trump supporters from “leftist thugs.”
Back in my day, high school parties mainly featured regular beer pong, one couple making out that we would look at, and me vomiting and crying in the front yard. It was the best time of my life. Today’s high schoolers, for some reason, want more than that.
Twitter, the gaping void into which we scream, recently fussed over a question posed by New York Times Magazine: if you could time travel to the past and kill Adolf Hitler as a baby, would you do it? Much debate was had, and now 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is dipping in his oar. And lest there be…
Courts in the German city of Kiel are currently deciding whether or not to put a 91-year-old woman on trial for her role in the murders of over 260,000 Jews in 1944 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
When Chelsea Clinton was 5-years-old she was not eating dirt like us, normal people. Instead, she was writing letters to world leaders advising them on their diplomatic trips.
Yesterday, I wrote a piece about Donald Trump’s growing popularity among Nazis and white supremacists. Today, my Twitter mentions are flooded with angry Nazis and white supremacists. Hm, what could be happening here? What could it — oh.
Hey, wow, surprise: the candidate who referred to undocumented migrants as “criminals” and “rapists” is winning many fans on the ultra, lily-white right. White nationalists, neo-Nazis, and everyone else who talks a lot about “white genocide” have decided that Donald Trump is their guy, despite their lingering concerns…
That dull roar audible all weekend was the sound of the United Kingdom’s national press, freaking the fuck out over some leaked footage of a 7-year-old Queen Elizabeth seemingly giving a Nazi salute.
On the afternoon of July 14, GOP presidential candidate and sun-dried tomato Donald Trump tweeted a patriotic campaign image featuring the American flag superimposed over his face and... a few soldiers wearing Nazi uniforms.
It seems as though the aesthetic admiration between hipsters and Nazis is finally a two-way street. While white male denizens of neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Silver Lake and Wicker Park have long been fans of copping Nazi style, neo-Nazis in Germany are increasingly adapting a hipster attitude and way of dressing…
A Saginaw, Michigan city council member is now receiving criticism for comparing those supporting an LGBT+ inclusive non-discrimination ordinance to Nazis. Because of course he did.
Police in the state of Brandenburg, Germany have confirmed a dangerous (albeit slightly ridiculous) trend after two men were arrested outside of a school in Senftenber for handing out neo-Nazi propaganda with one offender dressed in a Cookie Monster costume.
Tila Tequila, perhaps best known as the most popular artist on Myspace (according to page views) circa April 2006, and whose occupation is listed as "Glamour model" on Wikipedia, and probably most relevantly, who we all thought would fade into rightful obscurity following the cancellation of A Shot at Love with Tila…
Not to Godwin myself in the first sentence of my first post of the day, but here goes: if you think education is wasted on girls because what they should be learning is about lady skills like man-pleasing and baby-rearing, then congratulations! You and Hitler agree on how society should treat women.
Raise your hand if you'd be willing to spend almost $110,000 on a super fancy swastika ring made especially for Hitler by a rabid anti-semitic jeweler. None of you should be raising your hands.
During World War II, decades before the U.S. military deigned to consider women for front-line combat jobs, Russian teenage girls and young women dropped 23,000 tons of bombs on German invaders while commandeering crop dusters. The Nazis called them the "night witches."
About 30 aspiring actresses who responded to a casting call got the shit fooled out of them when it turned out that they were auditioning for a part that didn't actually exist. But wait! It gets fool-ier: during the fake audition, the women were asked to do unladylike things like wear blackface, impersonate Adolph…
A teacher at Albany High School has been put on leave after igniting a brushfire of outrage in upstate New York with quite possibly the worst persuasive writing assignment ever: she asked students to put themselves into a pair of black leather stormtrooper boots and argue why the Jews are evil as if they were trying…
Over at The Gloss, Jennifer Wright has a fascinating round-up of Coco Chanel's activities in support of Nazism and fascism prior, during, and after World War II. Fascinating but also harrowing. And replete with anti-Semitic cartoons.
