serai.
So I'm watching this documentary called Blood in the Face, about the Klan and other such Neo-Nazis, and...oh, the STUPID. It roasts me.
Hearing these people actually holding forth on their bigoted, moronic ideas is actually kind of enlightening. A couple of years ago I picked up a copy of Mein Kampf, which I wanted to read because I believe in finding things out for myself, and damn but I could not make it past about 15 pages. What a badly written book! I'm not talking about the substance, which is awful enough, but just shitty writing. Still haven't managed to pick it up again.
So actually listening to these people spewing is something of an eye-opener. I mean, what am I supposed to think about somebody who says stuff like, "We want people to know white people are intelligent, and we don't need no porch monkey telling us what to do!" and doesn't get why that's so grotesque? It's bizarre, like I've fallen into some weird-ass wormhole and ended up in an alternate universe. Not because I think humans don't have capacity for awfulness, but just because it's so brain-bendingly STUPID. STUPID STUPID STUPID. And all the shite about ZOG and the Protocols of Zion and miscegenation and "loving your own kind" and sweet Jesus, it goes on and on and on.
But like I said, I'm glad I'm watching it, if for no other reason than hearing their arguments from their own mouths. I'm a great believer in know thine enemy and seeing it yourself. Being informed and all that. And yo, you can never know too much about lunatics like this.
And you know, I sure wish I could be there when they meet up with Jesus. Have they got a surprise coming!!
Still though...ARGH. ARGHARGHARGHARGH. WHY must I share DNA with these yahoos???

neverrarelyseldomoccasionallyquite often, actually, (dammit!) seen--all these so-called American patriots would have been horrified and screaming for their demise.Yet when we act like terrorists, it's: oh, well we are going in there to "help" or to save the world from "those terrible dictators."
The self-deception boggles the mind. Truly. But then again, most of them voted for Bush and that has got to be the pinnacle of self-deception. I suppose that the Romans and the Nazis and other citizens of hundreds of countries who support(ed) terrorism against the less powerful were equally self-deceptive.
