  2. The USA bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki murdering thousands of civilians, but everybody wears the USA flag. We all know they just fear Nazism becoming a religion with Hitler as it's spearhead.

  4. Yeah normally I’d say it’s woke culture gone mad but I saw the image before reading the headline and immediately said “yo what the fuck Germany we trying a third time?” So yeah I can see this needing a change
