At some point in the process of slapping patches and shit on every available surface, the entire company blacked out and forgot everything?

Jude’s dad.

I was relieved to find no pictures of Ann Frank wearing a similar dress, so let’s focus on the positives.

I don’t think it was malicious, but I kinda suspect it was an attempt to “play with” the Holocaust patches. If you ignore the context in pictures of German Jews from the ‘30s, you’re a terrible person the contrast of a brightly colored patch on usually conservative, dark clothes could be an interesting fashion…

According to the badge the wearer is buying, not selling.

Sorry, you got the first one wrong.

I can see approaching almost anything else the way it looks like she seems to have approached this and having it be a cute joke. Like, taking a very significant symbol and replacing it with something formally similar but meaningless — they’re both stars, getit? — and then willfully misreading the label — “Jude” is a…

Hearing it described, “a five-pointed star is too reminiscent of a Star of David” sounds ridiculous, and someone without a clear mental picture of the Holocaust patches wouldn’t immediately see the connection. It really takes the direct comparison to bring it home.

I was all about coming in and posting this, except with “yellow star name tag.” Then I actually searched for that, and I started getting Holocaust references on the first page and never saw a five-pointed star with a name on it. I think you and I might be in a minority in not seeing the problem.

Those northerners were full of shit, though. That’s why they didn’t hang the traitors; they still should’ve, even if we all know it was never politically plausible.

Their mandate was the Confederacy committing treason and then losing. War is brutal and not democratic.

Not running the German government, though.

He may be a racist shitbag lunatic, but the man’s an astute political observer.

I’m trying to read that last sentence as something other than hideously, outlandishly racist?

I will also accept savage beatings, though, out of a surplus of bipartisan comity.

We made Trump inevitable when we didn’t hang every Confederate officer.

We’ve got a white supremacist president trying to destroy the United States. Did they really lose?

But many non-sociopaths were also horrible as teenagers. Teenagers, as a group, are horrible.

The name made this article’s headline possible, so it’s not without merit.

It’s obviously not normal behavior. But it’s behavior explainable by misguided good intentions (based on the idea that his suffering was impossible to overcome any other way, which is what depression feels like) as easily as monstrous selfishness, and I’d always rather the criminal justice system err on the side of…
