Cambodian Nazis?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I have seen the nazi stuff in Thailand, but never here. Then again, I don't pay much attention to the fads and fashions of Khmer youth, or anybody for that matter. Interesting how full of ourselves we can be, expecting Cambodians and such to be as sensitive to our culture and history as we are. We come here and open 'Buddha Bars' and produce promo materials using Buddha's image in direct conflict with their norms and culture. (And I can't imagine how many are in the west. I've seen several.) Phnom Penh even has a foreigner run club named after the greatest mass murder (of Asians) of the 20th century - Mao's Club - and barely an eye is batted. Not to mention Mao t-shirts being popular in the west. The swastika is an Asian symbol for God, not a nazi symbol here. And in so far as it is sometimes used in fashion here as a nazi symbol, it's just their version of Mao's Club or a Mao t-shirt.

Say what you will about the NDSAP's extreme ring-wing views, but they did have style. :hattip:
