Whoa, Nazi. Whoa!
I often get comments from Neo-Nazis. It is probably because I am obviously ANTIFA. Here is how I respond. I never engage them directly. Instead, I engage the audience. I hate Nazis, Illinois or not. Nazis don’t deserve a platform. There is a weird loophole in the world of tolerance that we must avoid at all costs. We are tolerant people. That is good. However, we cannot tolerate the type of intolerance that Nazis display. Why? Because they want to kill us. Yes, they want to remove us from the equation altogether. They seek to destroy self-determination and impose their will on the rest of us by any means necessary. They have no right to a platform if that is their end goal. We all know what happened in Germany, and it can happen anywhere. It is a process. That process involves giving them a platform. I am a free speech advocate, but Nazi speech is not free speech. Why? Because it will destroy free speech.
So, this is how I respond to them.
We have a bonafide Nazi. Listen, folks, Nazis like this aren’t too bright. There are some evil smart ones, but most are pretty dim. Look how he hides behind a swastika making inane comments. That’s his entire life right there. A confused little blurb in cyberspace.
First off, if you are ANTIFA, like me, it doesn’t mean that you are a progressive. Most progressives are, but there are a lot of old-school Republicans and Independents that grew up with their Father’s stories about how we beat the Nazis so badly that Hitler shot himself and his top brass committed suicide. After all, they brought a nation to ruin. That’s what they do best. My great-grandfather shot a few. He wasn’t happy about it, but they did what they had to do to keep the rats from sinking the ship. This country is ANTIFA at its core, you know.
They act tough, but they are frightened little men who cringe at the thought of a free and open society. It scares them so much they can’t live in the real world. They invent boogie men like George Soros because they desperately need someone to blame for their spectacular failures in life. Deep down inside, behind all that hate, is a meek little figure screaming in the darkness he created. How pitifully sad.
They blame the Jews. The Jews work hard, generally speaking. But he doesn’t. He thinks the world has wronged him. The world owes him because he is a white male. That’s why he’s a failure. Most Nazis are. They get recruited by more intelligent, sophisticated people who are bitter about their lives. They cannot be happy, grateful, joyful, or anything you and I generally experience. It’s tragic, really.
He grew up in a country filled with opportunities. People flock here from all over the world to become successful human beings. He hates them too. He can’t work like they do. Nor is he smart enough to grasp the bountiful opportunity all around him. Yet, he sees others that have things they have earned. He thinks they were stolen from him because he knows little about the world. He just knows his hate. It only takes a little brainpower for that. It’s quite a primitive part of the brain that generates it. A small part, one we all have, but we mastered in the 8th grade.
His heart is filled with hate, so he can’t see value in others. He is the kind of person that would throw you and me into a gas chamber and think nothing of it. He can’t see past his own hate. No, not far at all, really. He doesn’t understand that hate is like pushing a knife into your side. Deeper and deeper, but he expects the other person to bleed. Curious, isn’t it? How did someone get so confused and poorly oriented in a world of information? What filth did he put into his own head unquestioningly? How did he cook his own higher self away?
He believes he can step up a few rungs on the social ladder if he just got rid of you. Yep, he never once took an honest look at his own life and tried to figure out his responsibility for his own failure as a human being. He never self-actualized and succumbed to the dark place where cowards retreat. You know the place, you have one too, we all do. But we turned our backs on it and faced the world with courage and determination. He looked inward and became a slave to his own lesser self. It’s good not to be him. Imagine what it would be like to be an insolent child in a man’s body? What a terrible combination. It truly is good not to be him.
It’s hard to have sympathy for such a grotesque little thing. It really is. I would help if I could. I am not a professional, but I know a good therapist. Sadly, he’s too addicted to the little frightened black spot in his chest to ask for help. So he lashes out. He has to. He cannot blame himself. That would be too much weight for him to carry. He could have someone help share the burden and release all that hate. But, most likely, he won’t. He’s a coward, after all. Instead, he finds solace in an anachronistic worldview. He finds others who are cowards too. He feels safe with them. They won’t ask him to look inside. No, they point outward, too, and blame the world just like him. It’s the only place he can find an approximation of the love we all need. It’s pitiful, I know. His camaraderie is his safe space. He needs them, and they need him. Otherwise, they would have to face their demons and expel them. It’s too scary in the darkness for him to even try.
So the hate builds and builds. He learns to love the hate. Sooner or later, he morphs into a monster that has to be put down by people that just want to live unmolested by cowards in a downward spiral.
All of that was because he was so cowardly. It’s sad, really. The world should not generate such infantile men, but it does. They are eager to follow because they cannot lead. They lash out because they never fixed the things that prevent them from knowing love. Not even a little. It’s too scary to try. It’s better to scurry in the darkness, looking for his own ilk. He feels safe and safer still as his numbers grow.
He doesn’t realize that he’s an abomination, not the world. He thinks he’s safe in numbers. He thinks those numbers are growing, so he can show himself now (sort of). He doesn’t understand that society will look at him and see nothing but a broken little man who has gone feral. Most people will see it. After all, they turned their backs on that darkness long ago. It’s still easy to recognize. So, they will see him. Oh, he’ll pop up and make a fuss. But World War 2 rules will go back into action. We don’t want to live like that. But we know. Yes, we know there is a strange paradox in the world of tolerance. We are tolerant, but we know we cannot tolerate his intolerant violence. It’s safe for him now. But when he becomes a threat, we won’t tolerate him. We just cannot. History has repeatedly shown us what scared little men with an axe to grind can do.
We built an empire to stop him. We created the most ANTIFA document worldwide to ensure he would never ravage our land. It’s called the US Constitution. It’s the envy of the world, really. It balances out the wild impulses of people who just get easily riled up, checks their lust for power, and balances the system out. It takes a while, but it always does. They hate it, btw; they say that they love it as they shout “blood and soil,” but they really do hate it. They hate it because they have to watch as the rest of us make lives for ourselves under the rule of law. They hate that too. All those rules keep them from grabbing and thrashing things they never earned. It just eats at them. Day after day.
What sad little things they are. It’s so sad we will have to waste so much time and resources to bury him again. We have lives to lead; we just don’t have time for scared little men that never grew up to take responsibility for their lives. I really hope it doesn’t take as long as WW2. We have a decent standard of living to enjoy. Yes, we aren’t the richest, but we have what we need and know gratitude. He will never know such joys. He is to blame for that. Not anyone else. He’s a stupid beast, albeit a dangerous one. It is best to refrain from engaging them. They have chosen a path that only causes ruin. They don’t deserve a platform.
