I always found that part weird. Like they threw in masons randomly just so the audience could have a "plausibly vanilla whitey" to relate to. Surely the fascists of the mid century didn't actually target free masons.... Surely
Is that clueless emoji supposed to indicate that you actually are aware that mid-century fascists targeted Freemasons?
No I'm actually unaware, I thought that was made up
Freemasons have been the subject of antisemitic conspiracy theories ever since the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, so Freemasons did face some amount of persecution in Nazi Germany and other fascist regimes as supposed "agents of the Jewish conspiracy"
Huh, okay good to know B )
