Yeah, my niece, who is generally a worldly, progressive person, was talking about this guy whom she's not ready to call 'boyfriend' yet, and part of that description was, "he's, like, super into Hitler."
Doesn't that seem like kind of a red flag? ??
😬😬😬😬😬 boy, what???
My wife accidentally dated a white supremacist before we met. She’s not even white. She found out like six months into their relationship, when she stumbled upon a tumblr post about white power dogwhistles and immediately recognized like four of his most prominent tattoos. He even got one of them after they had started dating.
She initially dismissed it as a coincidence, until she saw the same tats on a lot of his friends. Some women will try to excuse a lot of red flags if they’re not directed at her specifically.
Maybe context is important? Is he a historian/researcher perhaps specializing in German history? Possibly not a red flag…every other case is likely a red flag. Even if they are…what drew them to that field of study? I’d have questions is all I I’m saying.
"ah you see this is my dissertation, totally academic, and also I tattooed this symbol on my arm"
The dissertation is on eugenics.
