    I saw a guy doing this recently (not to a barista, but someone that worked with the public) and the only thing that kept me from losing my mind on him was knowing there was no way the worker wanted to deal with him AND me blowing up at him. He eventually just left, but it was maddening to witness.

    Also, IME upper middle and upper class people are about 1000% more likely to do this than anyone else. This douche sounded like the frattiest frat bro to ever frat.



  • It confirms that she was born in Germany, lived there for the first years of her life before fleeing Nazi persecution, and had German citizenship until it was revoked by the Nazis. “She was a German who had her citizenship revoked by the Nazis at the time of her death” and “she wasn’t German” aren’t compatible without accepting the Nazi definition of who was and wasn’t a German citizen. The Holocaust was carried out on Germany’s citizens (in addition to those of other nations), even if they denied that these people were citizens.

    In the current political climate I feel this is a very important distinction to make.


  • Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1929. In 1934, when she was four-and-a-half, Frank and her family moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party gained control over Germany. By May 1940, the family was trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. Frank lost her German citizenship in 1941 and became stateless.

    Did we read the same article? How do Nazis revoke citizenship from someone who wasn’t a citizen? She was still German born and would have had the right to legal recognition of her status as a German citizen had she survived. The only sense in which she wasn’t German is that the Nazi government in power at the time of her death didn’t consider her a citizen (or human being), but that’s a pretty poor basis to say she wasn’t German.
