    True… I’m just awed by the unprofessionalism of it.

    These peoples means are going to justify their own end… they will forever be pariahs, at best.

      i dunno. what happened to the SS and SA after 1945 in germany? did they get to go back among the populace as normal or were they shunned into exile? because i seem to remember only a few were tried and the rest just became regular germans.

        They were “washed clean”.

        In Austria former Nazis even paraded around in uniform after the war, and the Austrians went as far as claiming that the Austrian Nazis were the real victims because they’d been so badly “misled” (yeah fucking right), and they were very hostile towards Jewish etc. people – the actual victims – who tried to get some sort of restitution

          my racist uncle with cerebral palsy just married an even more racist “italian princess” from argentina. who speaks less spanish than me. whose family was third generation argentine. i went to their wedding to try to welcome her into the family, she saw my mobility device, sneered, and i literally have not been able to get a single word out of her. good job, uncle!

          my mother loves her for some reason.
