They look soooo Nazi Germany chic.

What exactly are the boots for in space? they walking in maneure fields?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 1 hour ago

Not a chance to tell if this is satire

Holy Shit, is that straight out of the Spaceballs script‽ Sure looks like what the Nazis wore in Spaceballs

Well he's surrounded by assholes so that tracks.

inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Troopers uniform.

Fucking pack it in boys. We’re done here. Literally from real life to parody and back to real life.

~~Pretty sure this has not hit real life yet. It's likely just a meme. The title says by Hugo boss who infamously had a hand in Nazi uniforms, though it's apocryphal that they designed them.~~

Ignore me. Apparently this was tweeted by Trump. I have no words.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

Ignore you? Naaaah, see what you’re doing is using your brain and seeing something that should be a joke.

Unbelievable cringe

Goddamn look like they rob the wardrobe department of a Indiana Jones set. Swear you just might as well slap swastika on them and get it over with.

[–] MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 18 points 7 hours ago

It's almost directly mentioned in the text in the image, too. Inspired by starship troopers? The film which is all about a caricature of fascism? They couldn't be much more blunt without actually using the word nazi

The Onion needs to start writing stories where the Trump administration act like sane human beings, and show compassion to other people.

At this point, it would be far more bizarre than anything they've done so far.

Coming to an Imperial Star Destroyer near you.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

More like the flying aircraft carriers that Hydra had. Except steam powered to appease Drumpf

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 7 points 8 hours ago

That's not a ballroom, that's a space station!

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

(Based on the mistaken belief that Boss designed Nazi uniforms)

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 22 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk -3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, but didn’t design any.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

So it's still appropriate to call them "Hugo Boss Nazi uniforms"

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk -3 points 5 hours ago

Not really. You surely don’t call a device the Foxconn iPhone

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ahh, that's a shame. It would be funny if Hugo Boss sued the US government for blatantly ripping off their Nazi uniform designs

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

Just up to the LucasFilm lawyers then

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world -4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Sucks the asshole take the sleek colors that can make a badass look. All I'm saying. My words got lost in translation.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

In the same way that Hitler ruined the toothbrush mustache, yeah. A sharp looking uniform, pity about the visual language.
