In fact, the original name for the creatures was Nazi Monkeys. It was shortened to 'Zi Monkeys. and then that eventually became Sea Monkeys.
Ouch - you were right there, toes on the line, and you just HAD to take that next step.
Ah well, all good things come to an end, don’t they.
Michael O’Donoghue used to have a joke about the Nazi Dr. Dolittle - he made the animals talk.
Golly good.
Kind of a continuation of this post–Pat Buchanan long-ago crossed the line from conservative intellectual to right-wing crank, then went straight on from there to lying Hitler-loving sack of shit.
I’m sure RaleighRally is an equally dishonest little racist scumbag, but you’re not allowed to say things like that outside of the Pit; plus, I always console myself with the thought that some naive teenager might stumble across one of these threads, and the lies of the Hitler-lovers shouldn’t be allowed to just sit there unrefuted, lest someone who honestly doesn’t know any better think there’s actually something to that bullshit.
Same way you introduce the concept of “farming” to ants.
I don’t think it is that simple. There are rabble rousing leaders and there are rabble. Racist rabble fit your description. Rabble rousers however I think are often quite capable. Unfortunately though their capability is rousing racist rabble by telling them what they want to hear.
Nice alliterarion!
Between rousing racist rabble and nazi sea monkeys, this thread has taken a turn for the comically absurd, lol.
I wasn’t even trying: if I was, I would have slipped “risible” in there somewhere
Around the rugged rocks the racist rabble ran.
I got the idea that raleigh was Swedish and he certainly reads as a Sverige Demokrat. They are basically Sweden’s “theres too many foreigners everywhere taking our jobs, and they all smell like curry and WERE NOT RACIST”-crowd. i.e. lowly educated idiots (the highly educated idiots are communists). You can’t argue with them because they are as such (idiots) driven by dogma and lack the mental capacity to form coherent responses when challenged.
And today’s candidate for User Name / Post Combo of the Week is…!
Why would someone who is Swedish ever quote Pat Buchanan on the holocaust? Another vote for:
doffs cap in appreciation
Because, from RR’s POV . . . who else?!
Equivalent to the Tea Partiers, then? Except that I don’t recall the TP ever taking a position on immigration.
No. They’re mostly populists who don’t care about tax cuts, IIRC.
He was also arguably Jewish having been raised in a Jewish family. In fact, even while attending Aryan Nations rallies he was paying for his parents to be buried in Jewish cemetery.
You’re not going to get any example of famous racists (which seems to be what you’re looking for when you say “successful”) nowadays, since being publically racist would be a huge drag on anyone’s success.
FWIW, I agree that losers are more likely to become white supremacists than successful people. But that just means that the ideology has a particular appeal to losers, and does not show anything about the validity of the belief.
[It also seems to me that losers are more likely to be militant atheists, although I’m not as certain of this as I am about racists.]
In sum, the assertion has a lot of truth to it, but is not nearly as meaningful as one might think.
