A 180-ft wide crop circle cut in a Nazi swastika-like design has mysteriously appeared in a field in Wiltshire, southwest England, sparking conspiracy theorists (unsurprisingly) to speculate about alien involvement.
There’s folkish wisdom in the saying: “If you slip on a banana peel, don’t blame the Jews.”
An artifact of the above, widely practiced by even the most open-minded of our Internetters, is the unspoken dictum: “If you slip on a banana peel, be sure to blame the Nazis!”
The Nazis, as the West’s obligatory punching bags, are always a sure bet. That’s how one can put oneself in the company of the Forever Righteous Ones and get oneself a tree planted with one’s name in the thriving Marxist statelet in what used to be called Palestine.
