Hey Tovarischi,

As you probably know I've had quite the month - and what better way to celebrate it than with the longest video I have ever made!

Join me as we take a deep dive into the disturbingly alluring nature of the Nazi aesthetic - specifically the uniform. The infamous Nazi Propaganda machine's ability to weave ideology into the very fabric we put on our backs is both a historical and philosophical curiosity that I tried to broadly describe here. Does it look evil because that was intended or do we see it as evil because of WW2? Was the uniform a representation of belonging or division? What's the propagandistic intention behind Nazi clothes, and was there any, to begin with? What can we learn about the ideological commodification of any aesthetic and is there even such a thing as ascribing human morality to the way something works?

Well - set a reminder and in around 14h I hope you find out! This one is my more OG prose style so get ready for some annoying allegories. Massive thank you for voting in the title of choice - as you can see - I listen!

As always - could NOT have done this without your support,

Thank you so much,

Yugo babyyyy

P.S. I know, I know, expect the f*cking Discord soon
