Level: 0 CS Original | can't say i ever saw the word zeitgeist and automatically made a connection to nazism,seems like a rather poor excuse on their part the conspriacy angle is the only reason the movement gained any original support in the first place and with people already unwilling to join helpful causes as it is i doubt the venus project would gain any support by itself,then again seeing as no one associated with it goes to much effort on anything its probably the best social cause for the majority of soicety to join | |||||

That means this person is a conspiracy theorist but is trying to hide it. | |||||

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho: porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion! Level: 150 CS Original | I didn't automatically think of Nazis either, then again I did study German for nearly 8 years in junior high, high school, and college -- so maybe I'm just a Nazi myself. And Muertos, it's in my experience too those who say they're on the fence or "not sure what to think" about conspiracy theories, almost always tend to be conspiracy theorists once you get talking to them. | |||||

That is precisely the main demographic of conspiracy theorists as well. How did Screw Loose Change describe the typical Twoofer? White college-aged male with creative facial hair? | |||||

HAIL HYDRA Level: 6 CS Original | I'm a Germanic studies minor, and have to say that I don't think I have ever seen the word "Zeitgeist" used to imply some Nazi connotations. Honestly, this person seems like the one who has the issues separating thousands of years of German history from a 20 year span of Nazi rule. What their statement implies about their own thinking is "anything that sounds or looks German is automatically associated with the Nazis." Bravo for that. You know, the other day I was walking down the street and I saw this school. When I saw the sign outside said "KIndergarten" I immediately went home and wrote a letter to the principle of the school: Dr. Sir or Madame I believe that your school should remove the sign that reads "Kindergarten" outside your building. For one, when I see this sign, the first thing that came to my head was the image of Hitler as he addressed his fanatical followers and desperate country men before flinging the world into war. Do you want people to think you are a school, or some sort of fascist camp? Also, if you know the person down the street who sells Bratwurst at his establishment, be sure that you tell him he is driving people away from his restaurant because everyone thinks about the holocaust when they see that on the menu.
