Prussian Blues
I usually grab dinner around 6:30 in the p.m., and often in front of the TV, about the time the various Entertainment Shows are on . Normally their prattle about Hollywood and The Industry and various stars goes in one ear and out the other(indeed, much like other information I should be retaining), just visual/auditory parsley. This past week, however, something on there did get my attention.
The act in question was a singing duo(which, again, is something I wouldn't ordinarily give a flying fuck about unless they were absolutely gorgeous and/or had big tits or something--or even could really sing): twin 13-year-old sisters who sing songs about White Power. They're of course, blonde-haired and blue-eyed and cute n' perky in that sort of Aryan separatist way. The TV profile also showed them playing a video game called "Ethnic Cleansing", where the protagonist blows the shit out of the swarthier peoples of the world: blacks, latinos, et al).
Ya ha...
Out of morbid curiosity, I visited their website, and sure as shit it was filled to the hilt with neo-Nazi, racist, white separatist rhetoric: some fairly frightening literature espousing their views and mission, equally scary "news" stories, and of course their songs. One part of the site I found particularly chilling was their Fan Mail. Dear Buffi n' Barf(or whatever the fuck their names are)- I am glad there is finally somebody who stands up for what is right. Our town is 85% white, and we don't talk to them and they don't speak unless spoken to. Etc etc. Sieg heil, Toxin Sue.
Well okay, her name wasn't really "Toxin Sue" but she DID really close her letter with Sieg Heil, and she DID talk about living in a community which was 85% white and about how they treated the remaining 15%. The other letters were along the same lines. Dear Buffi n' Barf- Guess what? I'm a complete fucking ignoramus JUST LIKE YOU!
On the local level, we had a guy for awhile who had the same message: about the White Race,and the other so-called "mud races". He made the newspapers on occasion when in town to hold a presentation(these were always sparsely attended, chiefly by hecklers)or being indicted for something.
As a security measure here in the house I leave newspaper on the floor in case my dog, Lester, just can't hold it while I'm gone. One day I came home for lunch to find he'd laid one of his steamier turds right on a picture in the paper of our White Supremacist buddy. GOOD BOY, Lester! It's important to praise your pet at such a moment, as it encourages like behavior in the future.
The problem with hate is that it just begets itself, just like love. Groups like this are like the character on TV you love to hate. Woody Allen in Manhattan urged a group of his intellectual friends to take baseball bats to Neo-Nazi's who were demonstrating in the area. They bring out that violent shithead in you, bring out your own worst(your own 'little Hitler' as it were), no matter how erudite and refined you might think yourself to be.
Actually the best way to handle such a group is for their action to inspire an equal and opposite reaction. And the opposite of hate is not love but indifference. I am delighted to see sparsely attended rallies and no public support for the character I mentioned(not to mention my dog pinching a loaf on his picture). .Unfortunately, Neo-Nazi's and other hate groups have every right to be in this world that I do. Granting them that right is part of not being a Nazi- though I do sometimes wish there were a special zone for them -perhaps, a Home for the Intolerant.
