    Creating the image of Nazi troops "goose stepping" across Europe.

    It was deliberate and shameful.

    Did you read the article? It was about people doing coordinated actions and subsequently feeling a part of a group, a group that could be manipulated.

    Nope. Don't intend to.

    The obvious intent of the title was enough for me.

    "Don't need to read it. A knee jerk reaction is good enough for me." Understand.

    I'm not even going to post videos of Chilean (Prussian-influenced) army parades or Russian tomb guards goose stepping.

    Funny how Trump haters make the NAZI connection , then try to cover it up.

    It's a cowardly thing to do. If they're hateful enough to make the connection, they out to have enough integrity to own it.

    As if the little emoji is not implying he's talking about Trump supporters. Btw, that was a dumb clickbait article. Of course troops do coordinated activities to build a bond. American troops do the same thing, we march in unison as well. We just don't goose step.
