Nazism in Poland - A recipe for mass suicide? [176]
A type calling himself firestud13 (with inactive profile), titles his post provocatively: 'Nazism in Poland - A recipe for a mass suicide?'
He then suggests that 'some poles [are] engaging in Nazi behaviour.' By those 'some Poles' firestup seems to understand some assistant to some 'right-wing Polish European Parliament lawmaker.'
And by their alleged 'Nazi behaviour' he seems to understand the assistant's 'a straight-armed Nazi salute at a rally with a burning swastika in the background.'
So one person or even a group of persons in Poland giving a Nazi salute create the danger of a mass suicide of the Poles? How come?
Now, is burning, i.e. destroying a swastika, the proof of 'Nazi behaviour'?
I would think that in certain situations preserving a swastika may rather appear an example of 'Nazi behaviour' than burning it.
Now, I remember that a few years back the Jewish journalist Jerzy Urban, a notorious figure in Poland, lost his court case against a Polish prof who had called Urban a Goebbels. When another Jewish journalist referred to the lost case in a TV interview with Urban, the latter made a Nazi salute.
Would firestupd call Urban's Nazi salute an 'engaging in Nazi behaviour'?
Would he threaten that Urban's Nazi salute may cause a mass suicide of Jews?
All over the world there are individuals and groups who greet themselves with a salute similar to or identical as the so-called Nazi salute.
Would firestupd suggest that because e.g. some Irish use the salute therefore they are stupid, and there may happen a mass suicide of the Irish because some of them use the salute?
Or would firestupd limit his scolding, name calling and the prospect of a mass suicide to 'Slavs' or Poles only?
If the latter, what would it say about himself? Maybe that he's a crypto-Nazi? :)
If I remember right, the so-called Nazi salute is in fact an ancient Roman salute, isn't it?
:)
PS. I don't even ask what firestupd means by 'Nazism,' because it would be an absurd thing to ask. The word 'Nazism' today signifies nothing, just as such words as 'anti-Semitism' and 'the West' do. 'Nazism' is de facto another synonym of the vague expression 'the worst evil.'
