I think them being 9th graders makes a bit of a difference. A big part of doing shit like this could be puberty-driven edgyness. This ain’t an excuse of course and the scary part is that they went to Auschwitz, saw what happened there right in front of their eyes and still decided to go through with their abysmal photo, no matter if it’s for “fun” or a thought-out political statement.
Makes me wonder what kind of dehumanizing right wing propaganda they consume daily and what their social circle looks like, if they think acting like this is okay.
jfc how detached from reality do you have to be to make far right salutes at Auschwitz? Scary.
Ten years ago i would have agreed with your assesment of the situation, but today? I am pretty sure they were aware what they were doing.
