Treating a whole style as inherently fascist collapses a century of cavalry, army, police, and equestrian history into the twelve years of Nazi rule. That is powerful cultural association, but poor historical classification.

It looked like it was based on Star Wars outfits, which themselves were based on Nazi outfits. Besides, don’t you think it’s a bad idea to post something that the majority of people will immediately associate with the Nazis, even if the thing itself wasn’t actually created by them.?

Personally I really like the style. It’s a recall to military tradition and martial authority. Nearly every western nation adopted it.

I think one can appreciate the design elements and say something is well done and not agree with the ideologies behind it. I think the coliseum is beautiful, do I think enemies of the state should be executed ? No.

You’re absolutely right. One could. But an entire uniform style is different from logos solely belonging to a group. That nazis did not invent the style

Yea exactly, the swastika does not solely belong to the Nazis and it has a long history in Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain culture way before the Nazis ever took it
