HITLER YOUTH: ISN'T THAT CUTE?!?!
VIA Drudge this morning from ABC news http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1231684&page=1 we have the sweet tale of the thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede and their band Prussian Blue, whose work has an Aryan bent... They're just enchanting, wearing their Hitler smiley-face T's...
"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."
A Muddle? Hey you, I resemble that!!!
Ted Shaw, civil rights advocate and president of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund suggests that the girls aren't espousing their own opinions but ones they're being taught....
No shit? Show me a thirteen year old with their "own" opinions. I bet Teddy took classes to learn to say things that stupid. At least he's smart enough not to attack them.
A couple of lessons on the intractable nature of man are to be found here.
First, cute blondes can sell anything...
Second and most importantly, societies never learn fringe groups thrive on persecution.
When I was in college we had all kinds of exclusive groups. We had groups for several nationalities, a couple of exclusively black groups - they were the ones constantly wanting to "free" Mumia abu Jamal - and of course women's groups. Gay and Lesbian groups.
The closest thing we had to a "white" group were the campus Republicans. If you suggested creating one, you would be met with a frosty "White isn't a group!" Or worse...
Alright, Nazi fascism is an unusually potent ideology that wreaked a lot of havoc and shed a lot of blood in the recent past. But let's not forget the Nazi movement sprang from the injustice of the Versailles treaty and thrived on the perceived persecution of Germany after WWI.
Why is this kind of separatist worse than any other? Ever listen to Louie Louie Farrakhan? David Duke doesn't hold a candle to him. Why is Farrakhan not only tolerated but even promoted? Is it just that Nation of Islam philosophy and teachings are so whacked nobody can take them seriously?
Or is the difference in attitude just plain old anti-white racism?
If it is, I bid this nation beware. Learn this well: FRINGE GROUPS THRIVE ON PERSECUTION! FRINGE GROUPS FEED ON THE DISAFFECTED!
The persecution doesn't have to be real. It can be pure imagination or the conflation of the small slights all men endure. It's a tiny step from I'm picked on - I didn't get the job, whatever - to I'm picked on because I'm white.
If you're black, and you claim that, there are people who are happy to listen and come to your aid, people like Ted Shaw of the NAACP. If you're white, the best you can hope for is laughter.
No wonder White Supremacist groups are growing.
And another somewhat parallel situatition to consider: The Islamist Jihad. Now I'm not going to suggest Osama Bin Laden chose his path because he was "picked on." But if you have read some of his statements, you know he posits his faith is "picked on." How many followers has this earned him? I'm not talking about the big-named nutcases, the Attas or Zarqawis.
I'm talking about the poor bastards they con into wearing the bombs. Maybe if they thought their way of life had a future they would wait around for it?
