incremental small step s to banning everything, hay its good they did not ban original artifacts & memorabilia, but now the liberals have succeeded they will push again till it becomes a underground hobby like in europe
its coming be prepared use gun control as a example or should I say reasonable/ common sense gun control . the goal is total ban
..leftist, not Liberals, need to be confronted at every opportunity, - Liberals would never think to impose their emotional baggage upon other groups or individuals. Most especially attempts to use the power of the state to suppress individuals rights or private property.
So now where am I going to get my Nazi flavored a$$ rags?
Militaria collecting isn't an underground hobby in Europe, not even in PC countries like Holland, Germany and Belgium.
There are very big shows in Kassel (Germany) and Ciney (Belgium) for example and I think both are bigger in size then the MAX & SoS.
Of course I agree with you that leftwing morons want to ban everything, that is there hidden agenda.
Let there be no doubt about that.
We shouldn't be defending our hobby in the first place but the reality is that we in the West live in societies that want to be PC, people are over sensitive not only when it comes to militaria collecting but also on the job, the everyone is a winner mentality for example, if we like it or not that is just the way it is and it will get worse when the millennial generation gets older.
This being said, our best defence is to claim, rightfully so, that we are collectors of memorabilia and historic artifacts but you can't do this when idiots like Walter K and Thomas W are standing next to you peddling obviously fake stuff like those Christmas tree ornaments and that toilet paper, or even worse when they are selling nylon swastika flags and t shirts next to original wartime souvenirs.
This is the responsibilty of the show organizers.
Walter K with his sh!t paper and Thomas W with his fake daggers, just to name two but there are many more, have done huge damage to our hobby, just think about how many collectors they have swindled so much that they left the hobby and now that it has reached a point that it can possibly damage us all, we should stand up to defend them?
Not me! I'am not going to fight for Walter K's right to peddle 3R fake in public, that is something he can do himself and I hope he fails.
so swastika's are sold openly in Germany????????? I deal with Henrik, I know whats available you are right its not underground it neutered, I used the wrong word
This. You are correct sir. The 'offensively offended' are the real issue. They're never satisfied until everything is the was they see it. There is no limit to the level of histrionics they'll pull to achieve their 'goals' They just jump from one trainwreck to the next
......And. if you disagree with my post your a "nazi"
