Dr. Dean has managed to antagonize a group of racial fanatics who run a "Germanic Online Community": Skadi Forum. I was surprised to find a group online that openly espouses Nazi racial theory – ie the superiority of the "Indo-Germanic Race". The group claims to have 17,000 members, and appears to be evenly divided between English and German-speaking members. Here you can participate in fascinating online discussion threads on such topics as "The Holocaust: Did it really happen?", or "Jews gain in midterm election". Hats off to Dr. Dean for pissing off these people. Maybe there is a way to infiltrate the community and expose them for the dangerous lunatics they are.
Reading the vile stuff on this site reminds me of something Carl Zuckmayer wrote in his memoirs about the Nazi students he encountered at the University of Heidelberg:
"Von "Rasse" redeten und brüllten ja immer die am lautesten, die im Sinn der Auslese keine hatten." (Zuckmayer: Als wär’s ein Stück von mir)
(loose transl. It was always the ones who bellowed loudest about "race" who in fact were the furthest from any elite.)

It’s really funny. David regularly argues along classic fascist lines of racial purity, ultra-nationalism and such, and yet this little community of nuts somehow disturbs him.. Wake up David! “Race” is an offical term in your country only.. only your country sees itself at war with a world religion.. mass-murdering racism is what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, not in this little group of nuts that you like to mirror yourself in.
Name,
Can I pay you to come to my house and entertain me? If that’s not possible, an email a day with your thoughts on world affairs would probably work.
Name your price!
@name,
I guess you have been banned from commenting on the right-wing blogs like Medienkritik, which is why you come here.
I normally welcome opposing viewpoints and commentary, but I will delete your comments that accuse me of “racism”.
I am a social democrat, and if that makes me a “racist” or “fascist”, then you have a problem.

They are not really hard to find. I remember having a dive into white-supremacist websites back when the Australian riots broke out. It’s already hard to imagine someone really believing and advocating, that some specific group of men (and women) are responsible for all evil in the world or that some other group is better or (to say the least) has to isolate itself to preserve it’s whiteness.. but some set up websites and organise and prepare for “the revolution”..
If you are up for a long-lasting giggle (or irritated head-against-table-smashing 😉 ), just google “prussian blue”.
Indeed. Let “name” say whatever he wants. His arguments carry the intellectual weight of a crazy street preacher mated with a first year PoliSci student.
“Oh! I only said “fascist” once in this post. Fascist fascist fascist fascist. Whew. I feel better now.”
