    Why do these people who think nazis are funny and epic always look like people the actual nazis would have forcibly sterilized?

      The actual Nazis were nothing but hypocrites themselves. Propaganda did a good job of only showing the elite troops, but not every Nazi supporter looked like a buff soldier with a strong jawline. Most of them looked like normal people living normal 1930s lives, bad teeth, malnourished, scarred by measles and what not. They were telling themselves that their Aryan ancestry made them superior despite their obvious flaws, it’s the traditional Nazi coping mechanism.

      And keep in mind it wouldn’t make their ideology any more right if they all looked like demigods. The problem isn’t them not conforming to their own ideals, it’s the violent oppression justified by those ideals.

      I think this is just what the average American looks like these days.

      But yeah, they certainly would not have been part of the Master Race ideal of the Nazis.

      From the outside, I really hope the tide turns. The only good Nazi is a dead one.

        Depends where you live. This level of obesity would be highly irregular to see in parts of the western US and Canada.

          Yeah people on the west coast are much healthier & fitter & we’re not racist because we’re too busy enjoying life.
