Hey there,

I've started editing my latest video and it seems it'll be the longest one yet. It's about Nazi symbolism - the Hitler Salute in particular. I've always been fascinated by how they were capable of changing even the most rudimentary aspects of common existence - such as the greeting - into something inherently malicious. And yes - there's a lot more to the story than most people know. Read two whole books on the topic to get to the truly interesting parts. So while I edit you guys can fight it out on what the hell the title should be. As you know I'm awful at choosing them. If you don't like any of the listed out ones please do recommend one in the comments.

A Right Arm Outstretched: The History of the Nazi Salute

I like the continuation title, but don't tease us with a series of you aren't planning to follow through :P

Tbh, making the title a continuation of the uniform one really doesn't make sense. Like, the topic is about the Hitler Gruß (Also known as Römer Gruß) and not about fashion of the 3rd Reich.

But 2 episodes is a series haha. I'd love to make one though, just most aspects of the nazis have either been talked about to death or are literally uninteresting. There isn't a single analytical video on this topic though. Not one. So that's exciting - same with the uniform. Probably gonna get this idea stolen too, but who gives a rats ass

It's about the general aesthetic and symbolism of the Reich though - first the uniform now the HH

I dislike the overuse of the term 'evil' with reference to the Nazis because it decontextualize the historical events and reduce them to their ethical evaluation. Obviously we should condemn Hitler and Co. in the strongest possible terms but we should also and mostly understand how they were possible, what made people choose them.

>It's about the general aesthetic and symbolism of the Reich though - first the uniform now the HH They really need a reply function for users Also, I still think that symbolism is the way better word her, as the Hitler Gruß is objectively not asthetically pleasing. It's has the same objective value than a handshake tbh. Not that of a uniform made to look stylish.

If you ever plan to continue the aesthetics of evil thing long term I think it would be pertinent to look into the culture of reconstruction efforts in the religion of the ancient Scandinavians and how the Nazis coopted runes in an ahistorical way to create a legitimacy of "heritage" that modern heathens (Norse Pagans generally) detest.

While not per say intended to be aesthetically pleasing there's a lot more to it than just " a german greeting" - was quite surprised to hear different points of analysis of it through my reading. You'll see in the video. But yes - definitely good feedback thank you

Ah, but "Aesthetics of Evil" doesn't necessarily lock you into just the Nazis for future episodes.
