minus-squareMintyFresh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 hours agoIt really is sad how many things that little fuck nugget has ruined. In this particular instance I mean Hitler. Swastika? Neat, simple little geometric shape. Independently created by a few different cultures. Ruined. “Roman salute”? Kinda neat looking, again simple. And again probably independently invented in a few places, but definitely Roman. Ruined The charlie Chaplin mustache? More widely adopted after WWI as a style that would fit under a gas mask. Ruined I’m not trying to campaign to rehab any of these things or apologize for musk. Just kinda sad how all this cool shit got tainted.
