“No, no. That sort of thing wouldn’t interest me at all.”
“Just because we’re selling some German memorabilia from the 1930s doesn’t mean we’re Nazi supporters.
If we’re selling a Manchester United shirt it doesn’t make us Manchester United supporters, thank God”.
Classic.
I don’t see a problem with it to be honest, its part of history.
Although it could attract someone who wants it for “bad” reasons, i agree. It’s historically interesting stuff.
Well brittain invaded and took over more countries and caused more genocides and it still reigns to this day. No one bats an eyelid if you sell memorabilia from the monarchy. Infact the monarchy gets celebrated.
Getting tired of nazi -a defeated ideology being constantly bashed online like its the main threat to goodness in the world.
There’s some antique shops in Dublin between powerscourt shopping centre and Grafton Street that sell Nazi memorabilia as well too. Never seen them in the news for it.
I really don’t understand the problem?
Do you want to destroy all nazi artifacts and pretend it never existed?
Listening to it on Drivetime yesterday, “So you’d sell this memorabilia to a Neo Nazi no problem?”. Journalist just looking for a one word soundbite rather than a decent discussion.
This hobby is huge.. Militaria collecting. See nothing wrong with it myself.. Hardest part if it is wading through the fakes.
Lemmy said it best – ‘if I collected uniforms from the Napleonic wars would that make me a Bonapartist?’
No issue here. Nazi history deserves never to be forgotten for it is a lesson.
Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Some people collect weird shit. Nothing wrong with that.
I’ve 3 iron crosses with swastikas in them
I’m pretty sure I’m still not a nazi
It’s history! Ignore it and be bound to repeat it
You can buy British Pith helmets on Amazon.
Weird.. I wonder if they’d have an issue with selling Cromwellian memorabilia?
Recency bias is a hell of a thing.
Just looked at Mullan’s website. Auctioneers in Laurel Park Bray who are running this. It’s a real mixed bag auction and it’s for collectors across football, soccer, British army, NI conflict, early SF, civil war. There’s even an election poster saying “don’t let England pick your leader, vote for ……..,”
Well it is historical. Why does he have to defend it? They’re just objects, they don’t possess magic powers
Mac and Charlie trying to sell a nazi uniform to a museum.
If they’re not promoting literal nazism what is the issue?
I detested how Drivetime’s Cormac Ó hEadhra treated the auctioneer yesterday. Total set up.
History is offensive, erase it
The worst thing we can do is deny history.
Ireland’s become full of …….take your pick boyo’s. Lol.
Well, I guess the suppliers of Nazi paraphernalia used for world war 2 movies better stop that too.
Is it bad if I say I enjoyed watching Fury and saving private Ryan?
He had nothing from the allied side, he wouldn’t be interested in that type of thing at all
Bookshops sell Mein Kampf. This is not newsworthy.
Why are there so many people just bursting to be offended at something.
Does Nazi stuff actually offend you? Like really offend YOU?
Nobody in their right mind likes or condones what the Nazis did. But why get offended over a thing that existed at the same time?
Like it nor not, Nazi’s did exist and so did Nazi stuff. If someone else is interested in Nazi things then, although its not to my taste, what difference does it make. Let them off.
What’s the issue? Buying a part of history doesn’t mean you’re a Nazi. Destroying pieces of history though would come closer to Nazi sort of behaviour which is down alot with Nazi items.
They should be allowed to be sold without being labeled as one for buying or selling.
Just because I buy a fucking space suit it doesn’t mean I’m an astronaut.
By the time these woke freaks are finished culturally cleansing this whole world will be devoid of anything controversial from history. Burn, destroy, rewrite, toss it in the local canal.. And then we will have learned from all our mistakes, never to fall victim to our inner evil beasts ever again. Give me strength 🤦🏻
VW is Nazi memorabilia and there’s no issue with that.
yeah they have a point its historical , if peopel dont like it , dont buy it
Don’t see the problem. Do you want us to stop talking about history altogether
“You don’t have anything from the Allied side?”
“No, no. That sort of thing wouldn’t interest me at all.”
Hah you should walk around Madrid, you’d see plenty of fascist and Franco memorabilia.
Why would this be a issue?
Bigger issue still is the companies around today that sold to the Nazi, bloody Ford.
