I hate the Beijing Nazis.

[xchrom]

1. um...er...o-k-a-a-a-a-y. nt

[Taverner]

2. I get a page error...

[meow mix]

3. w...t...f...

:puke:

[Wilms]

4. Amazing photos.

[RadiationTherapy]

25. What a hicky!

[firehorse]

60. yes, the hicky is remarkable

[MadHound]

5. The irony of this is that the real Nazis would have killed these people,

I'm not sure what to make of this, either this is some sort of sick political movement, a bizarre fashion statement, or cos play gone horribly wrong.

[Cleita]

10. Yes, they would have for not being Aryan, however,

maybe it's a protest against a repressive communist regime by embracing a political ideology that is opposite of Mao.

[MadHound]

15. Perhaps, but the problem is, they don't have a repressive communist regime anymore,

They have a repressive capitalist regime now.

But yeah, it could be some sort of bizarre form of protest. I'm still going for bizarre cos play though, the floppy ears the one bride is wearing makes me think along those lines.

[Cleita]

24. It's still repressive and evolved from the communist one.

Capitalism as we know can operate quite well if left alone in any kind of political system and people make the mistake of thinking of it as a political system instead of an economic one. These kids have probably been raised to honor Mao and everything he stood for and they know it's crap and new capitalistic philosophies have not changed the repressions and lack of freedom, so the opposite seems to attract them.

It's what happened in the sixties when young Americans turned their backs on the conservative, misogynist and racist ideals of their parents and started protesting wars, smoking pot and liberating themselves sexually by becoming the opposite of their parents. Throw in some tattoos, now popular among middle class young Americans, once the mark of ex-cons and bikers, and you get the concept.

[MadHound]

30. Well, you've got a point about the evolution aspect

But I would have to strong disagree with you on the notion that "Capitalism as we know can operate quite well if left alone in any kind of political system". History is loaded with the carcasses of capitalism's victims, victims by the millions. Hell, we've been leaving capitalism more and more alone since the 1980's, and look where we are now.

As far as this being some sort of protest on the part of these couples, really, I seriously doubt it. I honestly do think it is some sort of cos play, weird themed wedding.

[Cleita]

38. It's already been proven. We worshipped at the

altar of capitalism in the last century and even were propagandized to believe it was the opposite of the evil communism, however, it's not a political system. It just operated under our Republican system of government and served us well when it was regulated and when we made our own stuff. Communist countries like China have proven it can work if allowed to be legal even under a communist style regime. Of course underground black markets in the past thrived in the Soviet bloc countries as well as China. Fortunes were made selling our blue jeans in the black market in the last century and they were manufactured here in the USA back then making some of us prosperous and giving jobs to many others.

As far as a weird themed wedding, you could be right. I was just speculating there might be a rebellious aspect to it.

[nxylas]

36. Reminds me of that WW2-era headline in Our Dumb Century

I can't remember the exact wording of it, but it was along the lines of "Japan allies itself with white supremacist government in well-thought-out plan".

[Lucinda]

6. Neko ears and a swastika?

Thats an unusual couple, to say the least.

[brooklynite]

7. Okay, so the dry cleaner lost his tux...

Could happen to anyone.

[geardaddy]

8. That's what happens when you have revisionist history

taught in schools.

[ZombieHorde]

9. I am literally laughing looking at these.

It reminds of the Chappelle Show. The skit where Dave Chappelle is a member of the KKK.

[Ian David]

11. I guess they're not upset about Nanking anymore. n/t

[geardaddy]

14. I lived in China and Taiwan for years

and they don't connect the Germans with the Japanese.

Nazi uniforms? No problem.

Rising Sun? How dare you!

[Poll_Blind]

18. Weird!

Thanks for the info!

PB

[geardaddy]

26. Yeah, I know.

I tried to get some friends to make the connection, but they couldn't. Interesting fact: During the Rape of Nanjing, one of the ex-patriates in the Foreign Zone was John Rabe, a German businessman and Nazi Party member. He actually tried to help rescue Chinese citizens from Japanese atrocities.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rabe

[Poll_Blind]

29. I don't know if you've seen it but there's a fairly good documentary called Nanking from....

...2007 in which actors read from diaries and letters by folks, such as Rabe, who were in the International Security Zone during the massacre. Very interesting (and heartbreaking) stuff.

PB

[geardaddy]

31. Yes, I saw that.

I think Jürgen Prochnow played him and Woody Harrelson played the US surgeon who treated a lot of the victims.

Excellent film.

[Poll_Blind]

17. Exactly, Ian David! I just posted about this (generally) downthread. WTF?

From the Rape of Nanking to Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign to Unit 731...and I'm sure all points inbetween, you'd imagine the Chinese, of all people, would not be celebrating this shit.

PB

[rpannier]

44. You'd think that would be true in many places

But there are right wing groups in Russia that dress up as Nazi's, make the Seig Heil salute and celebrate Hitler's birthday

[hedgehog]

35. Interesting story about Nanking.......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rabe

[Ian David]

52. Thanks, I'd never seen that before. n/t

[4_TN_TITANS]

42. I died laughing the first time I saw that skit...

It's hard not to take these pics in the same context. Just imagine the Chinese guy saying "White Power!"

[Poll_Blind]

12. Will someone please explain why Asia in general seems to have such a huge disconnect when....

...it comes to Nazis? Over the years I have read of bars, restaurants, etc., all themed around celebration of Hitler and the Nazis. What gives? This world is fascinating to me, mainly because there are so many unexplainable situations, customs, etc. This fits into that category but it's so...distastefully bizarre. Again, this is something I've read quite a bit about over the years, usually in a "News of the Weird" type article.

And why...in China? Japan and the other Axis powers were merciless against the Chinese during WW II. I mean absolutely merciless.

So why this total disconnect?

PB

[Cleita]

16. Nazism and fascism are the opposite of socialism and

communism. Maybe they are fed up with Maoism and want to go in the opposite direction. It seems like a rebellious youth thing.

[Poll_Blind]

19. Interesting possibility! And someone who'd spent time in Asia pointed out that....

...in their experience, Chinese don't make the connection with Japanese and Germany. So weird....

PB

[geardaddy]

20. It's kind of the same reason there's a disconnect in this country

when it comes to comparing the Holocaust in Europe and what happened in China and other Asian countries at the hands of the Japanese. It's not taught in detail. It's almost racial in that for many westerners, Japanese mercilessly killing Chinese soldiers was just Asian killing Asian.

[Matariki]

37. Hell. I heard about a hipster bar in Cambodia with a Khemer Rouge theme.

Seriously. I also heard it didn't do as well as they hoped. I think they were going for the irony angle.

[RaleighNCDUer]

43. Because the Nazis never fought the Chinese? Ya think? nt

[Journeyman]

13. There was a "Kiss" wedding after a minor league baseball game I attended a few years ago. . .

The bride was dressed in flowing white, the groom and his cohorts (best men?) dressed as Gene Simmons and the boys. In the background of the wedding party, and presumably in all the wedding pictures, there was a giant green reptile-like team mascot.

We thought it all hilarious and were somewhat taken aback when we realized it was, in fact, a real wedding. After seeing this, however, I've a new found respect for the comparative decorum exhibited on that baseball field.

[pepperbear]

21. they chose the extra special "3d Reich" bridal package. n/t

Oh.. Thank lord my old grandfather, and fosterfather are not living today.. This would really racles their anger to say at least.. They experienced this uniform up and personal, and was lucy enough to survive it..

But then, China have had a "foundness" for Hitler lately, in http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/ME25Ad01.html you can read some of it, that many in china, special the young ones, are looking for a strong leader, in a often chaotic world..

And for some, Hitler was a strong leader, who made train goes as it should, ans secured for the german a future - even tho it ended different from what Hitler or his followers wanted in 1945..

At best, this is just tasteless pictures, where peopole who dosen't know what this uniforms, and ideology meant for millions of peopole in Europe.. At worst, it can mean, that some in China, think, that the ideology of Hitler, should be used as a tool, to make China a greater nation.. Its 1.3 billion pepole who need water and food.. In Hitlers time, it was just 80 million, and we all know how that ended, when madness was going wild..

[geardaddy]

23. They are as bad as Illinois Nazis.

[cliffordu]

27. Wow. Didn't see THAT coming....

:rofl:

[Laf.La.Dem.]

28. WOW - Tea-party in China!!!

:toast:

[sakabatou]

32. I don't think a Chobit would date a Nazi

[Matariki]

33. They look more kinky than fascist to me.

I mean, my guess is that it's more about sex and role play than politics. I could be wrong.

[Matariki]

34. heh..

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. what is with the blond hair?

[Vehl]

41. Too much Anime influence

Some people take Cosplay to extreme levels.

but yes...Chinese Cosplaying Nazi's is not exactly what one would expect.lol

[Zorra]

40. Disease. nt

[provis99]

45. Neo-Nazis are very popular in Mongolia. Taiwan has a Nazi political party.

http://michaelturton.blogspot.com/2007/03/nazi-party-in-taiwan.html

Yeah, it makes no sense considering how Nazis considered Orientals an inferior race. But heck, there are Neo-Nazis in Israel, too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezXm9jkukBo

[geardaddy]

46. Orientals?

ouch.

[provis99]

48. well, I'm not talking about Indians, even though they are Asians.

"East Asian"? That doesn't work, either.

Since race is the key point here, what word would you suggest I use?

[geardaddy]

51. East Asians does work.

South Asians refers to Indians, Pakistanis and Bangledeshis.

[provis99]

54. Russians in Vladivostok are "East Asians", too.

So East Asian doesn't work.

[JI7]

58. east asian does work, oriental usually refers to things

[provis99]

63. Russians are East Asians too. To say otherwise is racist.

[geardaddy]

59. Why don't you ask some Chinese people.

I'm telling you most don't like the term Oriental. They consider it racist.

[Safetykitten]

47. Looks like a republican dream come true.

[Shandris]

49. Just as about 98% of America couldn't tell you what...

...'The Rape of Nanking' is, a surprisingly large number of Asians couldn't tell you what 'the Holocaust' is. Furthermore (and I should note that this is all second-hand information from Asian friends, which could place it solely in the anecdotal category) the 'Axis' thing isn't really taught very much; the Western hemisphere and Eastern were pretty much simultaneous wars that happened to include an economic ally, but otherwise had little to nothing in common. The only reason the US was involved was because of Pearl Harbor, and barring that there wouldn't even have BEEN a 'world' in World War II (meaning that no single conflict would have covered both hemispheres).

Without any grounding knowledge of what the Holocaust is, there's no reason to consider the Nazi's as anything more than another nation that got soundly beaten in a war. We revile the South for its' hold on slavery...but we hold no lasting animosity against Great Britain for the War of Independence. You hear the evils of the Nazi's, but when's the last time you heard a diatribe about the Ottoman Empire? Without the Holocaust, the Nazi's are a war shorter than Iraq.

[Shagbark Hickory]

50. Interesting points that you make.

Albeit tough ones to swallow.

[aikoaiko]

53. Chinese Fascist Weddings plus TENTACLES. now we're talking

:rofl:

[LetTimmySmoke]

55. They are not aware that the Nazis were allies of the Japanese invaders?

[geardaddy]

62. The Nationalist Government of China

actually had ties with Nazi Germany up until Japan joined the Axis. Mind you, that was the Nationalist government, which now represents Taiwan.

Chiang Kai-Shek's adapted son trained in Germany.

56. WHY?

God, I hate Illinos...er...Beijing Nazis. My question is WHY? What could a person possibly see as good in Hitler?

[Enrique]

57. the uniforms look snazzy

are those the ones designed by Hugo Boss?

[Yo_Mama]

61. A few years ago I used to spend a lot of time on a Chinese forum

One day I stumbled onto this whole long thing about Mein Kampf. They had the entire text published there, broken up into segments. And the comments, oh the comments. They were not negative.

After that I was so weirded out that I never went back.

Chinese are attracted both by the racial philosophy (they consider themselves a superior race) and by the drive to conquer. Right now I wish I remember where I used to go, because I bet that bit is still there.
