Another day, another U.S. christofascist hate group “accidentally” quoting Hitler. And giving Irony more work.
Later MFL fauxpologized to the Indianapolis Star.
“We condemn Adolf Hitler’s actions and his dark place in human history,” the statement from chapter chairwoman Paige Miller reads. “We should not have quoted him in our newsletter and express our deepest apology.”
Later still they updated their newsletter. Not by taking the quote down and replacing it with their fauxpology. They added a long note underneath in an attempt to pretend they think Hitler is bad.
It isn’t a surprise that christofascist individuals or groups quote Hitler. Everyone knows they’re interested in his ideas and subscribe to his newsletter. Some people know through personal experience, family history, or both that they live in proximity to violent assholes who want to unexist them or someone they care about.
But there are also hundreds of organizations and individuals in the U.S. who spend their lives connecting Rhetoric Point A to Violence Point B over and over and over again. And they have to keep doing it because too many people who aren’t direct targets – at least right now – have the luxury of pretending they don’t know what’s going on – at least right now.
And that’s despite the fact that the violent assholes have been working from the same tatty playbook forever. Take the latest crop of “Parents” 4 H8 groups. Their M.O. is ancient: Scoop up an armful of white children (their own or someone else’s). Next, scream about how afraid they are for their poor, sweet, innocent children, so naturally they have to “defend” them. Because they’re scared parents. Or at least an adult holding a kid.
Of course that defense always just happens to involve stomping on some people who are guilty of the crime of not being the same color, nationality, religion, orientation or identity as the P4H8 gang.
Then, members of the press – who tend to be in the same demographic as the P4H8 gang – look at the bellowing, red-faced creeps who are waving children around and get to work making a bunch of bellowing red-faced child-traumatizing creeps seem sympathetic. (Parents and children who are being targeted by the red-faced bellowers might get a mention in the 20th paragraph of an article about the P4H8 gang, or an article tucked in the Metro section.)
And then the red-faced creeps quote Hitler. And the people who’ve been through this all before sigh and say “You see?” and the people still who are still fucking around gasp and say “Quelle surprise!”
And the cycle starts again.
People who post off-topic comments smell like an Indiana pig farm on a hot summer day. People who post misogynist comments because the topic is right wing women like to fuck the pigs on the Indiana pig farm.
