there has been a lot of crapola. many folks defending them as only wanting authenticity. the former queen has previously been reported saying she wants to take back the old symbols.

there have been a lot of ad homonym attacks from both sides worth of supporters.

the former queen has previously been reported saying she wants to take back the old symbols.

I'd heard that; but it doesn't actually tell us anything about her motivations.

many folks defending them as only wanting authenticity.

Yes, but are any of those folks folks we trust to know that? I know that's the argument, but I'm wondering if anybody we're in a position to trust is in a position to know if it is true.

(Not that wanting authenticity is a justification. But what I want to know is whether the Society has just had a small rash of idiocy, or an actual infestation of Naziism.)
