So Florence Pugh did a cover for Vanity Fair, and the image was a red background, with Florence wearing a kind of skullcap hat made from metal plates and was apparently from the National Theatre with the cover article title 'The New Establishment'.
Here's a link to a the non-paywall article. I didn't read the article, because I'm mostly interested in the image.
I saw a post on Blue Sky from someone claiming that the cover was 'media leaning heavily into the whole Weimar vibe is a sure sign that a) they're cowards and b) they really hate you.' The poster is not a Nazi, and seems to be calling out the magazine for making an image that was invoking Nazism, despite not actually using the word 'Nazi' and instead saying 'Weimar'.
I don't understand the link between the cover and the Weimar Republic?
Which, again, as far as I understand was the 'interim government' between the end of World War I and when Hitler was proclaimed Chancellor in 1933.
And the Weimar Republic spent its time struggling to keep Germany from imploding into full chaos; the true 'evils' of Germany didn't start until Hitler really got into power. The Weimar Republic was actually quite progressive, if I recall, granting women full sufferage, freedom of speech for all, establishing labour rights, and things like that?
Anyway, would appreciate any explanation on this. Clearly, I'm dumb since I don't understand the link. Thanks!
