You obviously weren't into war games as a kid :mad: The latest Hardcore History addendum goes into detail about simulating Roman battles.

But yeah bs they were doing the Roman salute. Those kids are gonna get in big trouble for that.

How? Is it against the law?

The article mentions the folks that took offense (by name) and some other drivel about how social media got all riled up.

I personally don't see what the big deal is - People should have the freedom to express their racism I reckon. At least society would know who to ostracize if they so choose. If it weren't for the Nazi's space exploration would have still been in its infancy. A silver lining in everything I guess.

Contextually, I guess space exploration is still sort of in its infancy.:unsure:

Snowflakes, snowflakes everywhere.
Wrong. There are some snowflakes. They are in the minimum. They're successfully abusing the minority-rights narrative by creating false claims to victimhood which ironically results in direct infringement of the rights of those whom they claim offended them.

I am not sure about this. Some say nazi symbol was variation of hindu swastika; so, it does seem a variation but then cross is a variation of nazi symbol if you really really stretch it..
That's a different matter altogether though. The Nazi swastika was indeed a variation of the Buddhist sauwastika.

Listen to "The History of Rome" on your fav podcasting app.
Funny enough I was listening to the interview with this guy on History on Fire the other day after binging on the Back Catalogue of Hardcore history, somebody "leaked" all the paid episodes on the Google Podcast app.

Anyway the guy from the History Of Rome podcast made it seem like his podcast was on the dry side

Attacking kids illustrates a totally corrupt moral compass.

The school is going to take action to protect their reputation and they suffered a huge PR shitstorm after this incident. If the kids don't get some kind of disciplinary action I'll be surprised.

But the kids were not wrong. The school was wrong for posting the foto on their front page. That shcool can do jack ssh!t

Also, going through the guy on twitter who posted the foto's profile you will see he is a true snowflake. Pages of him just complaining about stuff.

So because a German tweets, all Germans are offended?
