Quote:
while another of his party leaders reminisced about the days when the kiosks on Vienna's squares sold sausage and wiener schnitzel, rather than "the kebab joints selling falafel and couscous, or whatever you call that stuff".

About six months ago, I read this Onion article. Neo-Nazis have been a joke to me ever since.

There is a time for reverence.

But if that was all the time, we would all transform into some horrible PC neo-Quaker sect.

Yes. Apparently some of the Jews in the camps had a joke going:

Quote:
The camp commandant is talking to a Jewish prisoner. He says, 'I'll let you live if you can pick which eye is my glass eye.'

The prisoner says 'Your right one'.

The commandant is amazed and asks how he could tell. The prisoner says 'It's the one that shows the most compassion'.


Still, why aren't these Austrian nutjobs being stopped?

I think there's actually a whole book of jokes that circulated in both concentration camps and German communities during the second world war. I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but it exists.

Somebody had to lighten the mood.

Despite the presence of antifa and other efforts to quell them, they still exist because of freedom of speech and freedom of belief. Quite a few politicians in Germany have tried to eliminate the NSDAP, and the power of that party is significantly less than it once was, but they're still around because as much as it may enrage people, they have every right to believe whatever they want and talk about it. The Freedom Party is just doing it more effectively than the NSDAP.

Their success can mostly be attributed to keeping their BS on a leash. The racist propaganda is kept to a relative minimum (and I'm using the original NSDAP as a benchmark here), where it's just enough for people to relate it to their own problems, but not so strongly that it pushes them away. Some of our own politicians use the same tactic. Germany and Austria don't exactly have a monopoly on close-minded, racist idiots.

For the same reason the Arabs are encountering no resistance as they Islamize the United Kingdom. :( :roll:
