Hitler flirting with Eva Braun.

I don’t know how this makes me feel

It makes me feel very uncomfortable

You know what’s so uncomfortable about this? It shows that perhaps one of the most evil men in history, was a human being. That, on occasion, he could be nice, even flirty. That’s not all. You want to see evil people as evil, screaming horrible stuff over a desk with 20 microphones with 20, 000 people saluting them. The evil is clear and recognizable then. This shows a completely different image, it scares you because that means that evil isn’t a stereotype, that evil is not recognizable, that evil could be anyone. It scares you because this shows that could be lurking inside anyone and you’ll never ever know. Maybe in you?

i reblogged this literally like 2 minutes ago, but i want this version because of that comment ^

That comment is one of my favorite post commentaries, because it’s completely right. People aren’t inherently evil. Like good, it’s a role they grow and live into. We have just as much potential to destroy as this man exhibited. And it’s a very eye opening experience to realize that.

does anyone even remember that one time hitler attended that luncheon between world leaders, some guests of which even included china’s socialist leader as well as Stalin. And then when they were ordering, everyone was gladly ordering impressive dishes one after the other, but Hitler placed an order for barley tea and a pheasant (considered a peasant’s meal by standard). When he was questioned as to why he would order something like this in something as grand as a world leader’s congress, he replied,

“I don’t smoke when my people cannot smoke, and I cannot eat when my people are going hungry.”

He wasn’t evil for its own sake, let’s try to remember that despite the countless murders, but for a moment, he did actually believe he was doing something for the good of his countrymen.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

No, he’s right. Hitler, though extremely wrong in his views, did everything for what he thought would better the lives of his people. It was wrong. It was disgustingly, horribly wrong. But he did not do it because it was evil and he was evil. He did it because he believed it would help Germany and those who needed a better life. Those who don’t understand or even try to understand the human brain will always label men like him as ‘evil’ because it is easier to accept. But he wasn’t ‘evil.’ He felt love and loyalty and responsibilities. He simply took these aspects and morphed them into a twisted, violent thing.

Tumblr is probably the only place we could have this conversation and not be lynched.

oh my god reblogging if only for the last comment

this is literally the best thing on tumblr

OMG everyone here is so retarded. Hitler killed millions of jews. The end. No one gives a fuck whether or not he has a “kind side.” He murdered all these people because they were “inferior” to his race/beliefs/world. So I don’t know what the fuck you guys are talking about but these comments just pissed me so much. Don’t be stupid and say “oh yeah, he also has a heart blah blah blah” because YOU didn’t live in that period. GOD.

We Got It For Free: Meermin Shoes

Exaggerations are so often used in menswear writing that it can be difficult to state something grand without sounding hackneyed. Everything is “perfect,” “the best,” and “will last forever.” At the risk of seeming like I’m committing the same sin, I’ll say that I think Meermin offers the best value, if not simply the best shoes, among the relatively more affordable brands of footwear I know of.

Meermin has two lines – the Classic Collection and Linea Maestro. The Classic Collection starts at 150 euro (~$180) and Linea Maestros at 250 euro (~$300). Customers outside of Europe get a 20% discount since they’re exempt from European taxes.

The two lines are characterized in the following ways:

While both are made from full-grain leathers, Linea Maestro uses higher-grade materials. They also carry suede from Charles F. Stead (the same supplier that Alden uses) and shell cordovan from Argentina.

Whereas the Classic Collection is Goodyear welted, Linea Maestro is handwelted. Both techniques mean that your shoes can easily undergo multiple resolings, thus allowing them to last for decades with proper care. However, handwelting has the advantage of being able to directly attach the welt to the insole without the use of the canvas rib that’s necessary for Goodyear welting. This allows you to use thinner layers of cork, thus making the shoes thinner and more flexible. In addition, some have argued that handwelted shoes are prone to fewer breakdowns and can withstand more resolings than Goodyear welted ones.

Both lines feature soles with channeled stitching (which means that the stitching is hidden), rather than ones that are stitched aloft (which means the stitching is visible). Many enthusiasts find channeled soles to be more handsome. In addition, Linea Maestros have a slightly beveled waist, which means the edges of the sole’s waist (the part that supports your arch) slightly curve up. Again, simply a stylistic detail, but I think a pleasing one.

Linea Maestro has higher-quality finishing. Before they’re sent out, the uppers are buffed to a high-quality shine and, depending on the order, also burnished at the toes.

Any of their ready-to-wear shoes can be customized through their made-to-order program for a small surcharge. So when Meermin’s proprietor, Pepe, offered to send me a pair for review, I asked for this cap toe blucher from their Classic Collection to be made from a dark brown leather and constructed to Linea Maestro standards. I was also able to specify the last, so changed out the soft square style of Ama for the rounder toe Hiro. You can see all of their last shapes here.

The result, I think, is a handsome, genuinely classic pair of shoes. It’s dressy enough for most work environments, but casual enough for leisurely days. The last is shapely without being pointy, and the rich, well-finished leather shines up more easily than many of my other shoes. Pepe was also able to nail the fit just from going off of my size in other brands, and although the leather was a bit stiff at first, it broke in nicely after about a dozen wears.

The only criticism I can make is that their quality control could be tightened up. In a StyleForum thread, a couple of their customers reported experiencing split-soles early on. The company, however, has been very responsive in offering to replace any defective shoes. It should perhaps be noted that many high-end, well respected brands have also had reports of similar problems pop up every once in a while; this isn’t unique to Meermin. At the same time, my own pair came with cap toes that had been unevenly burnished. The difference was slight, as you can see in the photos, and I’ve since fixed them by applying a bit of dark polish on the lighter toe cap. Perhaps the quality control there could be improved, but it’s nothing so bad that I’d feel uncomfortable recommending them.

These shoes, in my opinion, surpass many brands retailing for nearly double the price. This is partly because Meermin has a segment of its production in Shanghai. While some people wrongly characterize all Chinese production as being low quality, the fact is that some factories there have considerably improved. Though luxury-end production still remains nascent, mid-tier production such as this can be fairly decent.

To be sure, Meermin’s true quality will reveal itself over the next five to ten years, when current customers can report back on how their shoes have aged. For now, however, I find that their lasts to be more handsome than most of their direct competitors’ designs; their leathers, finishing, and construction to be just as good, if not better; and the ability to customize each pair to be a nice feature. Note that I only have experience with their made-to-order Linea Maestros, but plan to try out one of their Classic Collection ready-to-wears soon. I’ll report back when I do, but my bet is that they’re pretty excellent for $180 (or ~$150 after taxes are deducted). This is, in my opinion, one of the best options in footwear right now for those on a relatively tight budget.

To check out all of Meermin’s designs and offerings, visit their website, blog, and Facebook page. Some photos on their blog aren’t on their website, and their Facebook page shows other designs still, so it’s best to browse around.

The Buyer’s Guide to Meermin Shoes.

So as of late Meermin, a shoe company based out of Spain who specializes in manufacturing quality goodyear welt shoes, has been getting a lot of good publicity for their reasonably priced shoes. More specifically their double monks that they currently have available in black, brown, pebble brown, and brown suede.

Upon my first time ordering I knew that I had a few questions to ask. The company ships directly from overseas and is priced in Euro so this can sometimes make a person a little uneasy before going ahead and making a purchase. Just thinking about being surprised when the invoice comes through converted to American usd or if the shoes do not fit, having to go through the hassle of shipping back overseas can cause speculations.

Well thankfully Jose, over at Meermin, is super patient and kind enough to answer any and all questions you might have. The info I’m about to lay out for you is all thanks to him.

Sizing: The shoes go by euro sizing. According to Meermin you will be sizing down to the nearest full size. Example, if you wear an 8.5 or 9 in US sizing, you should opt for a size 8 in your pair of Meermin shoes.

Pricing: I think pricing is what throws many people off. Many of the blogs will tell you that you will pay about $200 shipped and they are telling the truth. The problem is when a customer goes to the Meermin site and converts the euro to usd the numbers don’t add up, or the added on shipping confuses them as to the total price.

Here is the break down

The listed price for the shoes is 150eu. (VAT tax included). As we are ordering to the US we are excluded from the VAT tax. This means you do not have to pay 18% (equal to 22,9eu) which is what the VAT tax is. This has now brought the cost down to 127,1eu.

Now add shipping which is 35eu. This brings you up to 162,1eu.* Now this was where I pulled up a currency conversion online (two different ones to be sure) and did the conversion to usd. As of right now that amount is $197.08. Also the shipping is relatively fast considering where the package is coming from. To NY it takes about 3-4 business days.

Payment: Paying for these was about as easy as a transaction could be. Meermin will send you the invoice via paypal. The invoice will show you the amount in euros and also show you what it is converting the amount to in American usd. This gives another bit of peace of mind before pulling the trigger.

*Fun fact, Meermin charges the same shipping for two pairs of shoes as it does for one pair. This means if you like two different pairs you might as well get them at the same time to save on future shipping. Another option is you could find a friend and order two pairs so you guys can split the shipping cost.

I hope this is helpful and will ease any doubts you guys might have.
