I live to go walking with my friend who knows a lot about botany. Where I see ‘field’ or ‘shoulder of road’ she sees all different kind of flowers and showers me with their Latin names.
In cities in like that but with history and architecture. It’s such a treat to hear people with a differently tuned set of goggles and a passion about a particular topic.
I dated a girl whose dad owned an antiques store. Watching Antiques Roadshow with her was a fucking trip. She knew what everything was and almost exactly what they would be valued at.
The only downside to dating her was that she would do things like hanging up an authentic “Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer” poster from the 1930s over her mantel. It was hard to convince her that people wouldn’t really appreciate the historicity of such artifacts.
I think the only way to display something like that is alongside allied propaganda from the era. It does all have a very striking aesthetic, so I can understand wanting to display it, but there are limits

Maybe she had secret sympathies…

Yeah oof. Nazi memorabilia should just be donated to a museum in almost every case.
