Germany’s navy says there was "no deeper message” in the choice to blast the famed Imperial March — Darth Vader’s theme song in the “Star Wars” films — from one of its warships as it cruised down the River Thames through London.
It’s not like Germany surrendered and then all the fascism went away the day after. Occupied Germany remained a deeply fucked state well into the 1970s. And the hollowing out of the East German economy, following unification, only threw gasoline on the dying embers of far-right extremism.
Catching a bunch of German Navy guys blasting the Imperial March just reminds folks of how close the apple fell to the tree.
Germany isn’t the birthplace of fascism, nor is it the only place it exists today.
Let it go man.
I mean, Britain & France have a tunnel connecting each other now, should they still be bitter, because you know, slaughter through history? Or are my sensibilities just too soon for you?

Zoom Out, it’s a big wide world.
But there are far fewer opportunities for outrage that way! When the rage addicts get some perspective where are they going to get their fix?
Who said it was?
Enjoy your weekend.
