Conclusion
The narrative of Asperger as a principled opponent of National Socialism and a courageous defender of his patients against Nazi ‘euthanasia’ and other race hygiene measures does not hold up in the face of the historical evidence. What emerges is a much more problematic role played by this pioneer of autism research. Future use of the eponym should reflect the troubling context of its origins in Nazi-era Vienna.

Well, the Brits weren’t exactly popular in India, for one thing.

Quite common first name before 1940-ish, especially if you include spelling it with -ph at the end (as in Adolph Marx) or French or Italian variants (Adolphe Menjou, Adolfo Celi, what have you).
I once knew a guy who’s first first name (he had five or six in total) was Adolf, but he was a von so-and-so and their family’s attitude was “fuck the Nazis, we’ve been naming the firstborn Adolf since, like forever and won’t stop now”.

I hope it got towed, got scratched up in the process.

Yeah, but they’ll blame intolerant liberals for the tow. No self-reflection that they are major assholes.
I wonder if red states will remove disabled parking because they consider it woke?

It is interesting to note that in the 1930s, Adolph Marx became Arthur Marx.

If you’re referring to Harpo, Wikipedia says it was by 1911.

Some of the comments on that article are just Stockholm Syndrome levels of delusion. Like this gentleman:
Dude pays $2K extra on an already expensive car for essentially nothing more than the promise of a feature to come later. Justifies it as “investing in tech development at Tesla”. (Who does this?) Never gets said feature and $2K is essentially wasted. Is fine with it, but hoo boy Elon and his promises, am I right, guys?

When you invest in a company you get stock- an ownership interest.
When you hand over money to a company and receive nothing in return- you were owned.

My post caused collateral damage! I’m sorry!! Forgive me?
In my defense: The Swastikar exists in more than one category. On a Venn diagram, the PT Cruiser (historically ridiculed, can’t get around that, facts iz facts) would (technically) share “JOKE” with the Swastikar… and that’s as far as the commonalities go if you don’t count a Venn diagram covering car names that start with the letter “C”.
In spite of the howling of the mob, the PT Cruiser works for you, and that’s all that matters for any car owner. My single-point data for the ridicules involves a friend /work colleague and his wife, both semi-professional ocean cinematographers. They have a ton of gear to haul around and, on that basis, they were happy with their Cruiser… until it started to develop electrical and mechanical issues into the second year. They were pissed. That I know.
Anyway, I wish you nothing but happiness with your Cruiser.

Well, it might help understand Tatsi’s strip, but then why would you want to understand Tatsi’s strip?

I guess he really didn’t like the name. A good decision in the long run.
I am going to consult my copy of the Marx Brothers Scrapbook and see if it says anything on this subject.
