After looking at the photos on the class blog's link from the day the Holocaust Museum opened, I was curious about the neo-nazi party and decided to look it up. Here's a bit of what's on their homepage:
Although National Socialism encompasses many various issues of concern to Aryan Americans, including a healthy environment, children's welfare, and freedom of belief without fear of System persecution...the two main tenets of National Socialism embodies the Struggle for Aryan Racial survival, and Social Justice for White Working Class people throughout our land.
I think it's crazy that people still think like this. And that they're so passionate about it. Have they not realized that racism is looked down upon now? Have they really refused to accept any equality we have in our society now? I don't understand how this is still going on. It's ridiculous.
They also have a link to download all of Mein Kampf onto your computer. They refer to it as Hitler's "masterpiece". If I wasn't so scared about their seriousness, I would find this a bit entertaining...
Also, to anyone who reads my post, just out of curiosity, if I were to send them an angry email, does anyone know if there's any way they could track that back to me and like, kill me? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteActually yes there are a couple ways to track the IP address (that's the Identification name that the internet sees for your computer) that an email comes from. Then, they only need to wait till that IP address goes back on-line and they will be able to know where you are.
ReplyDeleteI also think it is ridiculous how any sane human being could still think this way, but I would avoid sending them an angry letter just for the fact that it would probably be one of hundreds, and that kind of stuff can encourage these people.
ReplyDeleteI was watching an episode of Gangland on the History channel a couple days ago and the episode was about the the gang Puublic Enemy Number 1, which is an Aryan Neo-Nazi gang in mostly Los Angeles and Anaheim. But one of the things that this gang did was sell drugs to make big money. It was said that this gang alone made up to 5 billion dollars before it started to come apart. I think that a lot of these Neo-Nazi gangs are just thugs that dont have much reason for what they do.
ReplyDeletethat may be true for some, but the website I was looking at was so serious about it. It was talking about how others just call them a gang and how they actually wanted to change society for the "better". They were talking about how they needed people to step up so the rest of the world will take them seriously. It's kinda scary. Some are really passionate about it and actually want their views out there
ReplyDeleteIt's really weird how people become this way. Sometimes I wish I could just sit down and talk to these people in a serious way just to figure out what goes through their head.
ReplyDeleteI totally I agree with you. Today in our society, Racism just shouldn't exist. If you think of how far we've come, it's a bit ridiculous that anyone could still believe in Hitler's "plan". Although I believe this, I'm not naive enough to actually believe that racism will ever stop. People will believe whatever they want and sadly there's no way of changing their opinions and views.
